It's now more difficult than ever to meet the complex demands of compliance and security - especially with evolving threats, vague regulatory guidance, and limited resources. Due to lack of people involvement, organizations have not been able to effectively monitor and implement a proper measurement system. Organizations have been finding it difficult to adhere to different compliances with overloading documentation and improper integration of compliances and lean systems.

Risk Management Framework
A "Mandate and Commitment" is required by management before creating the risk management framework, then as is becoming common in management system standards, a detailed understanding of the organization and its context is undertaken.
This helps to define the processes required, communication routes and reporting lines.
Risk Management Process
The risk management process focuses on the recognizable Identification, Analysis, Evaluation and Treatment of risk - which fits well with risk based standards such as ISO 27001 for Information Security.
Continual Improvement
The goal is to achieve continual improvement of the system by monitoring and reviewing activity.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
(CMMC)
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
CMMC
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a program initiated by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) in order to measure their defense contractors’ capabilities, readiness, and sophistication in the area of cybersecurity. The framework is a collection of processes, and other inputs from existing cybersecurity standards such as NIST, FAR, and DFARS.
The certification is applicable to both “prime” contractors who engage directly with DoD, and to subcontractors who contract with prime contractor to provide fulfilment and execution of those contracts. Although some level of certification is required of every contract beginning in 2026, DoD has indicated that they intend to issue contract opportunities at all levels of the maturity model. This means that there will be some number of requests issued that will require only a low level of certification, and some that will require higher levels of certification.
Infopercept helps you navigate CMMC requirements
While most compliance standards are assessed against an “in place” or “not in place” approach, CMMC not only addresses whether required controls are in place or not, but also requires various levels of maturity. CMMC has established five certification levels, each requiring a set of controls and associated maturity activities:
- Level 1 – Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene (Performed)
- Level 2 – Intermediate Cybersecurity Hygiene (Documented)
- Level 3 – Good Cybersecurity Hygiene (Managed)
- Level 4 – Proactive (Reviewed)
- Level 5 – Advanced/Progressive (Optimizing)
How can Infopercept support your business?
CMMC Advisory Services:
The Infopercept Consulting team will provide an initial assessment and then develop a gap analysis of your organization's maturity level in regard to CMMC certification. Our team then provides the required policies and procedures, develop a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) for remediation purposes, and provides additional support to close remaining gaps.

HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
If you hold protected health information for your clients, either in electronic (ePHI) or hard copy form (PHI), you must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets a national standard for the protection of consumers’ PHI by mandating risk management best practices and physical, administrative, and technical safeguards. HIPAA was established to provide greater transparency for individuals whose information may be at risk, and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces compliance with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.
Protected Health Information (PHI)
The HIPAA Privacy Rule protects most “individually identifiable health information” held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or medium, whether electronic, on paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information protected health information (PHI)
Who is Subject to HIPAA?
Up until 2009, the answer was Covered Entities, which are healthcare providers like doctors’ offices and hospitals. But when the HITECH Act passed, it expanded the oversight of the OCR to the Business Associates, which are the vendors who provide services to the Covered Entities Entities seeking to demonstrate HIPAA compliance to their customers and potential customers have several options available. The options in order of assurance range from; self-audits against the HIPAA requirements; to an independent HIPAA gap assessment and HIPAA Audit.
