Why Workplace IT

Compliance Isn't Just Paperwork.
It's a Competitive Advantage.

Most IT firms can recite compliance frameworks. Very few can actually implement them. Workplace IT bridges regulatory expertise with real-world technical execution — so you get compliance programs that work in practice, not just on paper.

We've guided defense manufacturers, healthcare organizations, financial firms, and professional services companies through audits. We know what auditors look for. We know what gaps get flagged. And we know how to close them efficiently.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CMMC and do I need it?
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a DoD requirement for defense contractors who handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Federal Contract Information (FCI). If you're a prime or subcontractor in the defense supply chain, CMMC will be required in your contracts. The level required depends on the sensitivity of the information you handle.
How long does CMMC compliance take?
It depends heavily on your starting point. For organizations with limited existing controls, a full CMMC Level 2 readiness program typically takes 6–12 months. Organizations with existing security programs and IT infrastructure in place can often compress this timeline significantly. We provide a realistic roadmap after our initial gap assessment.
What's the difference between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2?
CMMC Level 1 covers 17 basic cybersecurity practices aligned with FAR 52.204-21, primarily for organizations handling FCI. Level 2 aligns with the 110 practices in NIST SP 800-171 and applies to organizations handling CUI. Level 2 requires a third-party assessment by a C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization), while Level 1 allows self-assessment.
We're a small business. Can we realistically achieve compliance?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are small to mid-sized defense contractors and professional firms. Compliance doesn't require an enterprise-level IT department — it requires a structured approach, the right tools, and a knowledgeable partner. We scope our engagements right-sized for your organization and build compliance programs that are realistic and maintainable for your team.
What does a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis involve?
A HIPAA Security Risk Analysis (SRA) is a required administrative safeguard that identifies where ePHI (electronic Protected Health Information) exists in your environment, what threats and vulnerabilities exist, and what controls are in place to address them. We conduct thorough SRAs, document findings, assign risk ratings, and build remediation plans that satisfy both HHS requirements and real-world auditors.
Do you help maintain compliance after the initial implementation?
Yes — and this is where most IT firms fall short. We provide ongoing compliance maintenance programs that include continuous monitoring, quarterly reviews, annual re-assessments, policy updates as regulations change, and support for audits and examinations. Compliance isn't a project with an end date; it's an ongoing program, and we're built to support you long-term.
