Why Compliance Matters

Different industries have different compliance requirements, but one thing they all have in common is complexity. Braver Technology helps you make sense of it all, aligning your business with the right standards to avoid fines, secure sensitive data, and stay audit-ready year-round. Whether you’re in defense contracting, healthcare, finance, or any data-driven industry, compliance is non-negotiable. Failure to comply can mean fines, legal issues, reputational damage or losing out on lucrative government contracts.

Here’s a breakdown of the major frameworks we support:

✅ CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)

CMMC Readiness & Compliance Support

If your organization works with the U.S. Department of Defense, or supports a DoD contractor, CMMC may apply to your business. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification helps protect Controlled Unclassified Information, also known as CUI.

For many contractors and subcontractors, CMMC readiness is tied to contract eligibility and future business opportunities. However, the process can be complex. Organizations often need help understanding their scope, identifying gaps, implementing controls, and preparing documentation.

That’s where Braver Technology can help. Learn more on our CMMC Readiness & Compliance Support page

✅ HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)

HIPAA Compliance – Protecting Patient Data, Preserving Trust

For healthcare providers, insurers, and business associates, HIPAA compliance isn’t optional — it’s legally required. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets strict national standards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) and ensuring the privacy, integrity, and availability of sensitive patient data.

At Braver Technology, we specialize in helping organizations navigate the complex requirements of HIPAA with clarity, confidence, and complete support.

What’s at Stake?

HIPAA violations can result in steep financial penalties, legal consequences, and serious reputational damage. More importantly, they can compromise patient trust — the foundation of every healthcare relationship.

Whether you’re a small medical practice, a multi-location clinic, or a third-party vendor handling patient data, HIPAA compliance is essential for:

Avoiding breaches and ransomware attacks
Securing patient records and communications
Meeting state and federal healthcare regulations
Qualifying for partnerships and contracts

✅ NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 & NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)

If your business works with the U.S. Department of Defense or other federal agencies, NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 is your cybersecurity playbook. It outlines 14 control families for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across non-federal systems.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) builds on these controls with a five-function model: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — making it ideal for organizations of all types and sizes looking to strengthen their security maturity.

How Braver Helps:

Perform NIST-based gap assessments
Map and implement required controls
Provide continuous monitoring and reporting
Guide your roadmap toward full CMMC alignment

We turn NIST complexity into actionable, achievable goals for your team.

✅ DFARS, ITAR, PCI-DSS & More

Some compliance frameworks are niche but critical — and failing to meet them can mean lost contracts, hefty fines, or even criminal penalties. Braver’s deep experience across multiple industries allows us to tailor compliance solutions that check every box.

Here’s how we support each:

DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement): Helps defense contractors implement NIST 800-171 controls and meet incident reporting requirements.
ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations): Ensures the secure handling of defense-related data and controls international data access and exports.
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard): Applies to any business that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. We help implement and maintain encryption, access control, and vulnerability scanning to pass audits and protect customer payment info.

With Braver, you’re not just checking off boxes — you’re building a stronger, more trusted operation from the inside out.

Our Phased Compliance Roadmap:

At Braver Technology, we go beyond just helping you pass audits — we partner with you to build a resilient, security-first culture of compliance that lasts. Our step-by-step approach aligns your IT environment with today’s toughest regulatory frameworks, from CMMC and HIPAA to NIST, DFARS, and beyond.

Here’s how we make that happen:

Assessment + Gap Analysis

Our cybersecurity partner, Cyber74 will begin by reviewing your current IT environment, policies, procedures, and security practices. This helps identify where your organization may fall short of CMMC Level 2 requirements.

For CMMC readiness, the assessment focuses on alignment with NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2. This is the standard used for CMMC Level 2 requirements.

This process may include access control reviews, documentation review, vulnerability findings, asset scoping, and evidence readiness. It also helps determine which systems, users, and data may be in scope.

Remediation Planning

With your gap analysis in hand, we build a tailored remediation roadmap to bring your organization up to compliance. This includes system upgrades, security patches, policy rewrites, and risk mitigation strategies. Whether it’s encrypting sensitive data, tightening access controls, or updating your incident response plan, we focus on practical, high-impact improvements that reduce risk fast.

Implementation + Training

Next, we put your plan into action. Our team deploys best-in-class tools and technologies, including endpoint protection, identity management, and monitoring solutions, to harden your security posture. Just as important, we train your staff on cybersecurity awareness, acceptable use policies, and compliance protocols. Because real compliance starts with people.

Ongoing Monitoring, Maintenance + Audit-Ready Support

Compliance isn’t a one-and-done task — it requires continuous effort. Braver provides ongoing compliance management that includes monthly reviews, system health checks, automated alerts, and policy updates. As regulations evolve and threats change, we make sure your business stays protected, prepared, and aligned with the latest standards.

Audit-Ready Support

When it’s time for an audit, there’s no scrambling. We help you maintain full documentation, gather required logs and reports, and even run pre-audit simulations to make sure everything’s airtight. Whether it’s a regulatory inspection or a client-driven compliance check, we ensure you’re confident, calm, and fully ready to demonstrate your controls.

Did you know?
70% of SMBs fail audits due to misconfigured systems or outdated policies. Braver ensures that’s not you.

Best Practices We Live By

At Braver Technology, compliance is never just going through the motions — it’s a commitment to building smarter, safer, and more resilient IT environments. Our approach is guided by the industry’s most respected and battle-tested cybersecurity frameworks. These standards don’t just inform how we work — they define it.

💡 The Braver Advantage

By grounding our compliance solutions in these globally respected frameworks, we ensure that your organization isn’t just following rules — it’s leading with security. The result? Systems that are not only compliant, but secure, resilient, and ready for whatever’s next.

Here are the pillars that power our compliance strategies:

📘 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST CSF 2.0 provides a flexible approach to cybersecurity risk management. It helps organizations connect cybersecurity strategy with business priorities, governance, and daily operations.

The framework now includes six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Together, these functions help organizations build stronger, more complete cybersecurity programs.

Braver uses NIST CSF 2.0 as a foundational blueprint. As a result, we help strengthen your defenses, improve decision-making, and align security goals with business needs.

🔧 CIS Controls v8.1 (Center for Internet Security)

The CIS Controls v8.1 are a prioritized set of cybersecurity best practices. They help organizations improve security in a practical and measurable way.

These 18 controls offer a scalable roadmap for strengthening your security posture. They cover key areas such as asset inventory, secure configuration, account management, data protection, and incident response.

Braver integrates CIS Controls v8.1 into security planning and implementation. Therefore, your organization can focus on practical improvements that support both quick wins and long-term resilience.

🌐 ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Standards

Recognized worldwide, the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards helps organizations manage information security risk. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines the requirements for building, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System, or ISMS.

ISO/IEC 27002:2022 provides guidance for information security controls that support that management system. Together, these standards help organizations strengthen policies, processes, technology, and risk management practices.

Braver Technology helps organizations align security programs with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 principles. We also support implementation efforts informed by ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control guidance. This helps your business meet global security expectations while building stronger operational resilience.

🧱 Zero Trust Architecture

In today’s perimeter-less digital landscape, trust is not a given — it’s earned with every access request. Braver designs and implements Zero Trust strategies that assume breach and verify every connection, user, and device before granting access. This “never trust, always verify” model minimizes exposure, limits lateral movement, and dramatically improves breach containment and response.
