💡 How Axio Networks Supports Key Compliance Frameworks
1️⃣ HIPAA Compliance
(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
HIPAA sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient health information (PHI).
Axio Networks helps healthcare providers, clinics, and business associates safeguard electronic PHI (ePHI) through technical and administrative controls.
Our HIPAA Compliance Support Includes:
✔ Secure email and encrypted communication (Microsoft 365 Business Premium or Exchange Online Protection).
✔ Device encryption and data loss prevention (BitLocker, Intune).
✔ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and identity management (Microsoft Entra ID).
✔ Backup and disaster recovery systems to meet data retention requirements.
✔ Ongoing risk assessments and documentation of security measures.
✔ User training on PHI handling and security awareness.
✅ Our systems are designed to meet HIPAA’s Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules.
2️⃣ PCI-DSS Compliance
(Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
PCI compliance applies to any business that stores, processes, or transmits credit card information — from retail and hospitality to professional services.
Axio Networks Helps You:
✔ Secure payment systems through network segmentation and firewall controls.
✔ Ensure encrypted transmission of cardholder data across networks.
✔ Maintain strong access controls and password policies.
✔ Keep antivirus, patching, and vulnerability management up to date.
✔ Support audit documentation and quarterly vulnerability scans.
✔ Partner with PCI-compliant payment processors for end-to-end security.
✅ Our managed IT environment helps you maintain PCI compliance across all endpoints and network devices.
3️⃣ SOC 2 Compliance
(Service Organization Control 2 — Trust Services Criteria)
SOC 2 focuses on the controls a service provider uses to protect data related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
While Axio Networks doesn’t issue SOC 2 reports directly, we help clients build and maintain the infrastructure needed to meet auditor expectations.
Our SOC 2 Readiness Support Includes:
✔ Implementation of role-based access controls (RBAC).
✔ Centralized logging and system monitoring for security events.
✔ Standardized IT policies and documentation (acceptable use, access management, incident response).
✔ Continuous patch management and configuration hardening.
✔ Regular vulnerability scanning and remediation.
✔ Encrypted backups, retention policies, and data lifecycle management.
✅ With Axio Networks, you’ll have the security controls and documentation your auditors need for SOC 2 compliance.
