Small and medium enterprises face the same cyber threats as large corporations — with fewer resources to defend against them. Compustores bridges that gap with enterprise-grade cybersecurity, compliance readiness, and business continuity planning built specifically for organizations of 1,000 employees or less across South Florida.
Cyber incidents don't discriminate by company size. For SMEs, a single breach or compliance failure can be company-ending without the right protection in place.
Whether your business is mandated by federal law or choosing a framework for competitive advantage, Compustores has the expertise to get you there and keep you there.
Medical practices, hospitals, dental offices, insurance providers, and any organization handling Protected Health Information (PHI) across Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, banking institutions, insurance companies, and fintech firms subject to federal and EU financial regulations.
Retailers, e-commerce businesses, restaurants, hospitality, and any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data — regardless of transaction volume.
Defense contractors, manufacturers handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and organizations in the DoD supply chain subject to CMMC 2.0 requirements.
Organizations choosing voluntary frameworks to demonstrate security maturity, win enterprise clients, satisfy cyber insurance requirements, or build a strong foundation for all regulatory compliance. These frameworks are not legally mandated but often required by customers, insurers, and partners.
The gold standard for cybersecurity program structure. Six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover.
Required by SaaS vendors, cloud providers, and service organizations to demonstrate controls over security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy.
International standard for information security management systems (ISMS). ISO 27701 extends to privacy. Both updated in 2022 and 2025.
Governance framework aligning IT with business objectives. Ideal for organizations seeking board-level IT governance and audit committee readiness.
Business continuity keeps operations going during disruption. Disaster recovery restores the technology to meet your recovery targets. Together as BCDR, they are your survival plan.
The foundation of every BCDR program. We identify your critical business functions, map technology dependencies, and quantify the financial and operational impact of downtime for each system.
A documented, tested playbook for responding to security incidents — from ransomware to data breaches. Aligned to NIST SP 800-61r3 (2025) and regulatory notification timelines.
Technical recovery procedures to restore IT systems to agreed RTO and RPO targets. We design, build, document, and test your DR capability — not just plan it on paper.
The complete operational playbook — who does what, how they communicate, and how the business keeps functioning at minimum viable capacity during any disruption.
Business continuity starts with prevention. Compustores deploys a defense-in-depth security stack across your entire environment — endpoint to network to cloud — to minimize the incidents you need to recover from in the first place.

Three tiers of cybersecurity and business continuity coverage designed for South Florida SMEs at every stage of their compliance journey.
Core cybersecurity protections and basic business continuity for SMEs beginning their compliance journey or with no specific regulatory mandate.
Everything in Secure Foundation plus full compliance framework implementation for regulated industries — HIPAA, PCI DSS, FINRA BCP, or NIST 800-171.
Full-spectrum compliance and continuous monitoring for organizations with multiple frameworks, DoD contracts (CMMC), or EU operations (DORA), and high-assurance requirements.
We don't deliver a report and disappear. Our 6-phase approach builds a living, tested, and continuously maintained cybersecurity and compliance program.
Inventory all systems, data flows, and vendor relationships. Conduct Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and threat modeling. Identify regulatory obligations and current compliance gaps.
Map current controls against your required frameworks (HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, NIST, SOC 2). Prioritize remediation by risk level, compliance deadline, and business impact. Deliver a clear, costed roadmap.
Deploy technical controls (EDR, SIEM, firewall, encryption, MFA), build documentation libraries, write policies and procedures, and configure logging and monitoring environments.
Build BIA, set RTO/RPO targets per system tier, document the Business Continuity Plan, Disaster Recovery runbooks, and Incident Response Plan. Assign roles and communication protocols.
Run tabletop exercises, simulated breach scenarios, and full DR failover tests. Conduct penetration testing. Perform vulnerability assessments and remediate findings before audit.
Ongoing 24/7 SIEM monitoring, quarterly vulnerability scans, annual risk assessments, policy reviews, staff training updates, and regulatory change management. Your compliance never lapses.
Cybersecurity focuses on preventing, detecting, and responding to threats. Business continuity (BC) focuses on keeping your organization operational during and after any disruption — whether a cyberattack, natural disaster, power outage, or human error. Together as BCDR, they form your complete resilience program. Cybersecurity reduces the likelihood and severity of incidents; business continuity determines how quickly and completely you recover from them.
If your business handles Protected Health Information (PHI) — including medical records, billing data, or insurance information — HIPAA applies regardless of your size. This includes medical practices, dental offices, therapists, insurance brokers, billing companies, and any IT provider that handles PHI as a Business Associate. HIPAA violations carry fines from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual caps up to $1.9 million per violation category.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) 2.0 is a DoD framework required for all organizations in the defense supply chain. As of early 2025, CMMC Level 2 certification is being phased into DoD contracts. If your business holds or bids on DoD contracts involving Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), CMMC certification is mandatory. Level 1 covers 17 basic practices; Level 2 aligns with 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices; Level 3 adds 134 practices from NIST SP 800-172.
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is an EU regulation effective January 2025 that applies to financial entities operating in or serving the European Union — including banks, investment firms, insurance companies, crypto-asset service providers, and their ICT third-party providers. DORA requires ICT risk management, incident reporting within 72 hours, regular resilience testing including threat-led penetration testing, and strict oversight of third-party ICT vendors.
PCI DSS compliance timelines vary by organization size and current security posture. For a small merchant (SAQ A or SAQ B), basic compliance can be achieved in 4–8 weeks with Compustores support. For organizations requiring a full Report on Compliance (ROC) with a Qualified Security Assessor, timelines range from 3 to 12 months. The most time-consuming areas are typically network segmentation, logging and monitoring, and encryption implementations.
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the maximum time your business can tolerate system downtime before the impact becomes critical — for example, 4 hours for email or 1 hour for a payment system. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is the maximum data loss your business can accept, expressed in time — for example, an RPO of 15 minutes means your backup system must capture data at least every 15 minutes. Together, RTO and RPO define your recovery targets and drive every technology decision in your DR program. Tight targets require more investment in redundancy; looser targets reduce cost but increase recovery risk.
Yes — this is one of our key strengths. Many South Florida businesses face overlapping requirements: a healthcare IT company may need HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST; a defense contractor may need CMMC and ISO 27001. We use a unified control mapping approach, implementing shared controls once and documenting them for multiple frameworks simultaneously. This dramatically reduces audit fatigue, duplicate work, and cost compared to treating each framework separately.
Costs vary based on organization size, number of frameworks, current security posture, and required remediation. As a guideline: basic HIPAA compliance programs start around $1,500–$3,000/month; PCI DSS programs $2,000–$5,000/month; CMMC Level 2 readiness $3,000–$8,000/month during implementation. Our Secure Foundation tier starts at a flat monthly managed rate. Contact us for a free compliance gap assessment and custom quote with no obligation.
