Navigate the complex landscape of security standards
Security frameworks and standards multiply every year, creating both opportunities and challenges for organizations seeking to protect their assets. BPM helps you select, implement and maintain compliance with the security standards most relevant to your business and industry.
Comprehensive standards knowledge
Our team brings deep knowledge of leading cybersecurity standards across multiple domains:
International standards: We provide guidance on implementing globally recognized frameworks including ISO 27001/27002 for information security management, ISO 27701 for privacy information management and ISO 22301 for business continuity.
Industry-specific standards: We help you navigate sector-specific requirements such as HIPAA for healthcare, PCI DSS for payment processing and NERC CIP for energy and utilities.
Government frameworks: We assist with implementing government-mandated standards including NIST Cybersecurity Framework, FISMA requirements and CMMC for defense contractors.
Emerging standards: We keep you informed about evolving frameworks such as the SEC’s cybersecurity disclosure rules and the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
