What We Deliver

Compliance is not a one-time project.

Most businesses approach compliance the wrong way — they do a risk assessment once, check some boxes, and call it done. Then an audit happens, or a breach happens, and the documentation isn't there.

West Computers builds a living compliance program around your specific obligations — whether that's HIPAA for healthcare, FTC Safeguards for financial and automotive businesses, or CIS Controls v8.1 as a foundational security framework across any industry.

We maintain the evidence trail continuously: security assessments, remediation logs, configuration documentation, policy records, and control testing results — so when an auditor or cyber insurer asks for proof, it exists.

How We Work

Our process.

01

Framework Selection

We identify which frameworks apply to your business — HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, CIS Controls, or multiple — and define the scope of the compliance program.

02

Gap Assessment

A structured assessment of your current technical and administrative controls against the framework requirements — producing a documented gap list with risk ratings.

03

Remediation Planning

Gaps prioritized by risk. Remediation plan created with milestones, responsible parties, and target completion dates.

04

Control Implementation

Technical controls implemented (encryption, MFA, logging, access controls, backup) and documented. Policies written and distributed.

05

Ongoing Monitoring

Quarterly control reviews, annual risk assessments, continuous evidence collection, and policy updates as your environment and regulations evolve.

FAQ

Common questions.

What compliance frameworks does West Computers support?
West Computers supports HIPAA Security Rule, CIS Controls v8.1, FTC Safeguards Rule, Cyber Essentials, and NIST CSF. We can map a single technical control to multiple frameworks simultaneously — reducing compliance overhead.
Does West Computers help with cyber insurance applications?
Yes. Cyber insurers increasingly require documented security controls and risk assessments. West Computers prepares the evidence packages and policy documentation needed for cyber insurance applications and renewals.
What is the FTC Safeguards Rule and who does it apply to?
The FTC Safeguards Rule requires financial institutions — including car dealerships, accounting firms, mortgage lenders, and others handling consumer financial data — to implement an information security program. West Computers aligns these businesses to the updated FTC Safeguards Rule requirements. Learn more about FTC Safeguards Rule compliance →
What is CIS Controls v8.1?
CIS Controls v8.1 is an industry-standard framework of 18 security controls organized into implementation groups (IG1–IG3) based on organization size and risk. It's widely used as a foundational security framework and as a baseline for cyber insurance and compliance programs. Learn more about CIS Controls v8.1 implementation →
How long does it take to become compliant?
Initial gap remediation typically takes 60–120 days depending on the starting state and number of gaps. Compliance is then maintained as an ongoing program — not a one-time project.
