Compliance with regulatory standards and customer requirements is growing in importance. Enterprise organizations increasingly cascade security requirements on their suppliers as part of their vendor and third-party management process.
However, most companies lack the security and compliance expertise to implement a formal information security program. Cosant does the heavy lifting to build your program and achieve compliance efficiently and effectively.

As Software as a Service (SaaS) has become a pervasive business model, the clients SaaS companies serve expect their SaaS providers to prove their security. Typically, SaaS clients require a SOC 2 Type 2 certification, particularly when the SaaS application integrates into the client environment. Cosant helps companies implement SOC 2 Type 2-based information security programs, and achieve audited certification quickly and efficiently.
Healthcare organizations are part of an industry that regularly changes and adapts to new regulations and requirements. HIPAA exists to ensure the privacy of health records and other information so sensitive data is not shared with the wrong people. The policies must be documented, assessed at least annually, and updated when necessary.
While HIPAA itself does not have a formal certification program, it does come with hefty fines for violations. Cosant helps you become HIPAA compliant, and prove it to your stakeholders through an attestation. We also support the readiness work for HITRUST certification, if required.
MSPs provide IT services and support to small and medium businesses. In this role, they may be the most important supplier to their clients as it relates to cyber security. The MSP is a critical solution provider, but also among their client’s biggest risks. Cosant helps the MSP directly, as well as the MSP’s clients. Whether you're an MSP implementing your own or your client’s compliant
security program, Cosant can help.
Defense contractors are required to meet a variety of cyber security requirements. These may be the baseline DFARs requirements, or the emerging Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
International customers often require their manufacturing suppliers to meet the ISO 27001 certification standard.
These fairly rigorous cyber security frameworks require expertise and experience. If your team lacks the security or audit expertise, you’re unlikely to be successful without the outside help of a consultant like Cosant.
Much like their commercial counterparts, governments at the Federal, State, and local levels are requiring their suppliers to implement compliant security programs.
At the Federal level, Cloud Service Providers (including SaaS companies, data centers, and others) must achieve FedRAMP certification.
State and local governments, as well as public education systems, are requiring either state-specific security programs or relying on the emerging StateRAMP certification program.
