Industry Sectors We Cover

NCX Group serves customers across a spectrum of market segments.  Each is subject to industry regulations or state privacy laws such as GLBA, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley or SB1386, but one thing is common among them; the need to protect the sensitive data of employees and customers.

NCX Group identifies risk and analyzes the security posture of organizations within the following industries that require high data security, availability, and regulatory compliance:

Financial Services:
Community banks, credit unions, securities firms, and others within the financial industry cannot afford to take half measures in securing customer data. Customers rely on the safeguards you put in place to protect their assets, including their identity, so maintaining that trust is paramount.

Internet-based attacks on financial institutions are becoming more sophisticated, which has increased the demand on IT staff to ensure security measures are in place that meet regulatory requirements. It is recommend that regular security audits be performed on perimeter devices such as routers, firewalls, and network servers to ensure they have been configured properly and that security measures are performing as expected.

NCX Group will guide you in maintaining regulatory compliance, such as GLBA, FISMA, PCI DSS and more, and identify any lapses in processes and controls that could put your company at risk of data exposure.

NCX consultant’s have vast financial security compliance knowledge, which makes NCX Group a perfect security partner for banking and credit companies.

Healthcare:
Healthcare organizations process an incredible amount of personally sensitive data, and keeping their patient records private is required for all covered entities and business associates that must be HIPAA/HITECH compliant.

In California, AB 1298 expanded the definition of “personal information” under the state’s data breach notification law (SB 1386) to include unencrypted medical information and health insurance information. NCX Group understands the healthcare industries’ need for confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic data and will help you provide a secure and flexible approach to improving your information security while meeting security compliance laws.

Education:
Most educational systems are designed to allow free information exchange and open access anytime and anywhere. This makes securing networks and information control policies a real challenge, especially while having to comply with numerous state privacy acts and regulations such as FERPA, HIPAA and GLBA.

Personally identifiable information held at the K-12, college and university levels have become a treasure-trove for illegal entities on the black market. NCX Group will help IT departments discern the vulnerabilities that come with disparate department networks, and identify potential risk of unsecure assets that may expose critical information of students, staff and faculty.

NCX Group provides information security services to all educational institutions and also works with JPA members to serve their clients.

  • K-12 institutions (schools and school district administrative offices)
  • Higher Education (colleges, universities, and private/technical schools)
  • Country, State and Federal offices of education
  • Other associated vendors (benefits providers, service providers, student loan entities, etc.)

Government State and Local:
City, state and federal governments, including utilities, face daunting security challenges. Threats of cyber-terrorism, sabotage, and malicious viruses directed toward critical government information assets require constant vigilance and periodic assurance they are secure. To experience an information breach or intrusion to critical governmental controls could expose information that may harm the public, undermine city or state operations, and diminish public trust.

NCX Group provides the risk management analysis and recommendations to secure state and local government valued information assets from exposure.
