CMMC, HIPAA, and FINRA compliance — from assessment to certification

Gap assessments, remediation, documentation, and audit preparation for organizations where compliance is a business requirement, not a checkbox.

Is this for you?

CMMC — defense contractors

You handle CUI or FCI as part of a DoD contract. CMMC certification is required to maintain or win contracts. You need a partner who has guided contractors through the process.

HIPAA — healthcare organizations

You handle protected health information (PHI). HIPAA requires specific administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. You need IT infrastructure designed for compliance, not retrofitted for it.

FINRA — financial services firms

You operate under FINRA regulations. Data protection, business continuity, vendor management, and recordkeeping requirements demand IT systems built with compliance in mind.

What each framework requires

CMMC 2.0

Three maturity levels aligned with NIST 800-171. Level 1 covers basic FCI protection (17 practices). Level 2 covers CUI protection (110 practices). Level 3 covers advanced/expert practices.

  • Access control and authentication
  • Audit and accountability logging
  • Incident response procedures
  • System and communications protection
  • Configuration management

HIPAA

Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protected health information. Applies to covered entities and business associates.

  • Risk analysis and management
  • Workforce training
  • Access controls and audit trails
  • Encryption of PHI at rest and in transit
  • Business associate agreements

FINRA

Cybersecurity requirements for broker-dealers and financial services firms. Covers data protection, business continuity, and regulatory recordkeeping.

  • Cybersecurity risk assessment
  • Data loss prevention
  • Business continuity planning
  • Vendor due diligence
  • Regulatory recordkeeping

Our compliance process

1

Gap assessment

We audit your current environment against the applicable framework and deliver a clear, risk-ranked gap report. You will know exactly where you stand and what needs to change.

2

Remediation plan

We create a prioritized remediation roadmap with realistic timelines, resource requirements, and dependency mapping. No surprises during implementation.

3

Implementation

We deploy the technical controls, create the policies, configure the systems, and train your staff. We do the work — you review and approve.

4

Audit preparation and support

We compile the evidence package, prepare your team for the assessment, and stand beside you during the audit. Then we maintain your posture with ongoing monitoring.

Frequently asked questions about compliance

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a DoD framework that requires defense contractors to demonstrate specific cybersecurity practices. Any organization that handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of a DoD contract needs CMMC certification. This includes prime contractors and their subcontractors.

Timeline varies based on your current posture. Organizations with existing security controls may achieve certification in 60-90 days. Those starting from scratch should plan for 4-6 months of remediation before assessment. We provide a realistic timeline estimate during our initial gap assessment.

Yes. CMMC Level 1 applies to organizations that handle Federal Contract Information (FCI). Level 2 is required for organizations that handle CUI. Both require formal assessment, though Level 1 allows annual self-assessment while Level 2 requires third-party assessment for critical programs.

There is no official HIPAA certification. HIPAA compliance is an ongoing process of implementing required administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Organizations demonstrate compliance through risk assessments, policy documentation, and evidence of implemented controls. Diriga helps you build and maintain that evidence continuously.

A FINRA compliance assessment evaluates your cybersecurity practices against FINRA regulations including data protection requirements, business continuity planning, vendor management, and recordkeeping obligations specific to financial services firms. We assess both your technical controls and your policies and procedures.

Yes. Compliance is not a one-time event. Diriga provides ongoing monitoring, annual reassessments, policy updates, and continuous evidence collection to maintain your compliance posture between formal audits. Most of our compliance clients are also managed IT clients, which means compliance monitoring is integrated into daily operations.
