Standard compliance is the set guidelines, set forth for organizations to be in accordance with standards to secure their IT systems, processes and organizational data and strengthen their IT governance. There are several recognized standards which are widely practiced throughout the globe. Some of these standards are set forth as per the industry standards to secure the Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and Personal Health Information (PHI) of the consumers or the end-clients.

At Vivasvan Cyber Security, we specialize in well-recognized standard compliances like ISO/IEC 27001 certification, SOC2, GDPR, and industry-based compliances like PCI DSS and HIPAA.

ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System)

ISO/IEC 27001 is a standard compliance certification issued by International Organization for Standards to organizations. Apart from serving as a standard certification it also lays down a detailed list of guidelines for the ISMS ( Information Security Management System) of an organization. The guidelines serve as best practices to secure IT systems, processes and organizational data through risk management methodologies. IS027001's primary goal is to help organizations maintain the security of assets such as financial data, private information, and information entrusted to them by third parties.

SOC 2 Compliance

Service Organization Control Type 2 was introduced by AICPA (American Institute of CPAs) in 2013. It is a method for guaranteeing that service providers safely manage your data to protect your company's interests and its clients' privacy. SOC 2 is constructed around five principles to secure consumer data: security, confidentiality, availability, integrity, and privacy. SOC 2 applies to technology-based SaaS companies as well as third-party vendors and other partners who must adhere to these standards to assure the data's integrity.

PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of standards to ensure cardholder data security. It was founded in 2004, with the mission of enhancing the mindful processing of sensitive authentication data (SAD) within the cardholder data environment (CDE). The PCI DSS compliance requirements encompass all the organizations which store, process or transmit their customer’s sensitive data. However, some organizations which aren’t exclusively storing, processing or transmitting cardholder data might have to be PCI DSS compliant, depending on how they interact with the parties who exclusively do otherwise.

If an organization stores either of the data, they have to be PCI compliant.

The goal is to enable the safe and open flow of data across EU borders, as well as to safeguard all EU citizens from data breaches and privacy violations.

The GDPR aims to provide citizens and residents more control over their personal data while also simplifying the regulatory environment for international business by consolidating EU regulations. The GDPR broadens the scope of EU data protection legislation to include all international enterprises that process personal data of EU citizens.GDPR involves the following – The Right to be forgotten, Personal Data, Privacy by Design and Default, User Explicit Consent, Data Breach Notification
