In today’s complicated regulatory environment, staying compliant and improving the efficiency of your compliance efforts is a major challenge.

Adding to your problems, the number, scope, and complexity of regulations and standards continues to increase—with many regulations now carrying penalties for data breaches. Lynx Managed Security Services and Security Consulting Services can help you become compliant and stay compliant with government regulations and industry mandates.

NERC CIP

The Bulk Electric System (aka the power grid) has become an increasingly tempting target for cyber terrorism and nation-level threats.

With services such as risk assessment, policy development, and controls testing and audit, Lynx can help you achieve a solid security posture while complying with NERC CIP mandates.

FISMA

Signed into law part of the Electronic Government Act of 2002, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) is United States legislation that defines a comprehensive framework to protect government information, operations and assets against natural or man-made threats. Commercial organizations seeking ‘FISMA compliance’, through a ‘FISMA assessment’, have to work directly with each specific agency to achieve authority to operate (ATO) and be assessed to controls that are based in FIPS 199, FIPS 200 and NIST 800-53. From controls mapping to documentation development for a system security plan (SSP) to security testing, Lynx provides the advisory and assessment services necessary to meet your FISMA authorization needs.

FEDRAMP

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a result of the ‘Cloud First’ Policy established in 2010 which provides a known set of federal security requirements that cloud service providers (CSP) must adopt in order to be eligible to host government data. CSP that receive a Provisional Authorization to Operate (P-ATO) under this program can leverage this ATO to do business with multiple agencies as part of the ‘do once, use many’ framework that FedRAMP has established. Lynx has been accredited as a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) to conduct independent assessments of cloud environments developed for FedRAMP evaluation.
