Ongoing HIPAA, CMMC & PCI Compliance Management — Without the Overhead
Maryland businesses face a growing stack of regulatory requirements — HIPAA, CMMC, PCI-DSS, FTC Safeguards — and the consequences of falling short are severe: fines, lost contracts, data breaches, and reputational damage. But maintaining compliance in-house is a constant drain on time and internal resources most organizations don’t have.
CISPOINT’s Compliance as a Service (CaaS) takes that burden off your team. We handle the monitoring, documentation, policy management, and audit preparation — so you stay compliant year-round without dedicating staff to it.
Unlike a point-in-time compliance assessment, a managed compliance program adapts as regulations change, your business evolves, and new risks emerge. The goal is never-fail audit readiness — every day of the year.
What Is Compliance as a Service (CaaS)?
Managed compliance is an ongoing program — not a one-time project. Rather than scrambling before an audit or certification review, our program keeps your organization in a continuous state of compliance readiness through proactive monitoring, up-to-date policies, documented controls, and regular reporting.
Think of it as having a dedicated compliance officer on call — without the overhead. This is sometimes called Compliance as a Service (CaaS) in the industry, but what it means practically is simple: we own your compliance program, you own your business.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a compliance assessment and Compliance as a Service (CaaS)?
A compliance assessment is a point-in-time snapshot. Managed compliance is an ongoing program — we maintain your compliance posture continuously, updating policies as regulations change, monitoring for new gaps, and keeping documentation audit-ready year-round.
Do I need this if I already passed a HIPAA or CMMC audit?
Yes. Compliance is not a “set it and forget it” achievement. Regulations evolve, your IT environment changes, and staff turnover affects compliance controls. Maintaining certification requires continuous effort — that’s exactly what this program provides.
Can this work alongside our existing compliance staff?
Absolutely. We offer co-managed compliance support for organizations with internal resources. We fill gaps, handle technical controls, and provide documentation support while your team focuses on business-side activities.
How does this integrate with CISPOINT’s managed IT services?
Seamlessly. If you’re already a managed IT client, your compliance program builds directly on our existing knowledge of your environment — no duplication of effort and no gaps between your IT management and your compliance program.
What industries do you support?
We primarily serve healthcare, government contractors, financial services, and professional services firms in the Baltimore-Washington DC area. If your industry has regulatory requirements, we can support your compliance program.
