Common Problems Compliance IT Consulting Help With
- Rules you are not sure you meet: You know your business falls under HIA, PIPEDA, or PCI but cannot say for certain whether your systems actually comply.
- Cyber insurance demands you cannot answer: Your insurer asks for proof of security controls and you have no clear way to show you have them in place.
- Patient and client data at risk: Sensitive information is handled day to day, but the protections around it have never been properly checked.
- No paper trail for an audit: If a regulator or insurer asked for proof, you would have nothing documented to show.

Questions to ask
How to Judge This Work
Is this legal advice?
No. IT compliance consulting should support technical controls and evidence, while legal interpretation stays with qualified counsel.
Can you show control evidence?
Questionnaires often require proof. Ask what reports, screenshots, or configuration records can be produced.
Will remediation be realistic?
Controls should be sequenced around risk, budget, staff impact, and deadlines.
