Compliance readiness for Denver and Front Range organizations

Compliance support: CMMC, PCI, HIPAA and state privacy

We help organizations get ready for the frameworks their contracts and customers require: CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 for defense and aerospace suppliers, PCI DSS for anyone taking cards, HIPAA for clinics and health care vendors, and the reasonable-security expectations in Colorado's data-protection laws. The work includes gap assessments, technical fixes, written policies and the evidence an assessor or auditor will ask for.

We don't certify organizations and we're not auditors. We do the hands-on IT and documentation that let a formal assessment proceed without surprises, then keep those controls maintained so the next review isn't a fresh scramble. For cannabis operators, we focus on the technology behind record-keeping and surveillance, leaving the interpretation of licensing rules to your compliance staff and counsel.

CMMC across the Front Range aerospace corridor

From Littleton and Centennial to Broomfield, Boulder and Colorado Springs, Colorado's space and defense industry depends on hundreds of smaller suppliers: machine shops, electronics assemblers, software teams and engineering consultancies. As CMMC requirements appear in Defense Department contracts, those suppliers are being asked to show that they actually implement the NIST SP 800-171 controls they may have self-attested to years ago.

We start by scoping where controlled unclassified information enters and moves through your company, because a smaller, well-defined environment is much easier to secure and assess. Then we perform a gap assessment, fix technical shortfalls, write the system security plan and plan of action, and organize evidence by control. Formal Level 2 assessments are conducted by authorized third-party assessment organizations; we prepare you for them.

Colorado's privacy and data-protection laws

Colorado has been active on data privacy. The state's data-protection law requires businesses to maintain reasonable security for residents' personal information, to have written policies for disposing of it, and to notify affected people within 30 days of determining a breach. The Colorado Privacy Act, in effect since July 2023, adds consumer rights and obligations for businesses that meet its data-volume thresholds.

Whether the Privacy Act applies to your company is a legal question for counsel, but the IT groundwork is the same either way. We help inventory what personal data you collect and where it lives, set retention and secure disposal, and document the security controls protecting it. That record supports privacy notices, consumer requests and, if something goes wrong, a fast and accurate breach assessment.

PCI, HIPAA and cannabis record-keeping

Retailers, restaurants and hotels across the metro take cards, bringing PCI DSS into scope. We reduce that scope with encrypted terminals on isolated networks, then help complete the self-assessment questionnaire accurately. Clinics, therapy practices and health care vendors that work alongside systems like UCHealth, Denver Health and HealthONE need HIPAA risk assessments, technical safeguards and written policies that match how they really operate.

Cannabis businesses carry their own record-keeping load under Marijuana Enforcement Division rules, from Metrc inventory data to surveillance retention. On the IT side, Metrc credentials should be tied to individual users and removed promptly when budtenders leave, and camera storage needs headroom so retention does not silently shrink as cameras are added. Across every framework, we keep controls maintained and evidence collected between reviews.
