Compliance Services for Regulated Industries

Westchester's business community spans healthcare, financial services, legal, and professional services — each with distinct compliance obligations. We've helped organizations in all of them.

Healthcare

HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires healthcare organizations to implement specific technical safeguards for Protected Health Information (PHI). We provide Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), implement required access controls, audit logging, encryption, and transmission security, and prepare you for HIPAA audits.

  • Business Associate Agreement (BAA) provided
  • PHI access controls and audit logging
  • Data encryption at rest and in transit
  • HIPAA Security Risk Assessment
  • Workforce training on HIPAA requirements
Financial Services

NY DFS Cybersecurity Regulation

The New York Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500) applies to banks, insurance companies, and other financial services companies operating in New York. We help covered entities implement the required cybersecurity program, maintain documentation, and prepare for DFS examinations.

  • Cybersecurity program development
  • CISO designation and reporting support
  • Multi-factor authentication implementation
  • Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
  • Annual certification documentation
Technology & Services

SOC 2 Readiness

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) certification signals to enterprise clients that your security, availability, and confidentiality controls meet industry standards. We implement the technical controls required for SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness and coordinate with your auditor.

  • Gap assessment against SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria
  • Access control and identity management
  • Incident response program development
  • Change management and monitoring controls
  • Vendor risk management processes
Data Privacy

Data Privacy & NYDPA

New York's SHIELD Act and broader data privacy obligations require businesses to implement reasonable cybersecurity safeguards to protect private information. We assess your current data handling practices, identify gaps, and implement appropriate controls — including data classification, retention, and breach response.

  • Data classification and inventory
  • Data retention policy development
  • Breach notification readiness
  • Employee data handling training
  • Vendor data processing agreements
Our Approach

Compliance Is a Technical Problem — We Solve It

Regulatory frameworks are written by lawyers, but compliance is implemented by engineers. The gap between what the regulation says and what your IT systems actually do is where most organizations fail their audits.

Corstar bridges that gap. We read the regulation, translate the requirements into technical controls, implement and document those controls, and provide the evidence your auditors need to confirm compliance.

We don't just tell you what you need to do. We do it with you — and keep it running so you stay compliant as your environment changes.

Common Questions

Data Compliance FAQs

Yes. Corstar signs Business Associate Agreements as standard for all healthcare clients. Under HIPAA, any vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of a covered entity must execute a BAA. Our managed IT services for healthcare clients include a signed BAA, implementation of all required HIPAA technical safeguards, and documented security policies.
The NY DFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500) requires covered financial entities to: maintain a written cybersecurity program, designate a CISO, conduct annual risk assessments, implement multi-factor authentication for critical systems, establish an incident response plan, report cybersecurity events to DFS, and file an annual certification of compliance. Corstar helps organizations implement and maintain all of these requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific obligations.
Yes — and the best way to pass an audit is to implement real controls well before the audit date. We assess your current environment against the applicable framework, close the gaps, document everything the auditor will ask for, and support you throughout the audit process. We've helped Westchester organizations successfully navigate HIPAA audits, DFS examinations, and SOC 2 assessments.
