IT Compliance Services
in Charlotte, NC
and the Carolinas
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and SOC 2 compliance support — handled by a local team that's been doing this since 2003.
Netsafe Solutions provides IT compliance services for businesses across Charlotte, NC and both Carolinas, supporting HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and SOC 2 readiness since November 2003. We handle the technical controls, policy documentation, security risk assessments, and employee training that compliance frameworks require — so you can pass audits with confidence.
What Is IT Compliance?
IT compliance is the process of meeting regulatory and industry security standards that govern how your business handles sensitive data. Frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and SOC 2 each define specific technical controls, administrative policies, and documentation requirements your organization must follow. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS, 2024), HIPAA violations alone cost healthcare organizations $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums reaching $1.9 million per violation category.
For Charlotte-area businesses, compliance isn't optional — it's a legal and financial risk that grows every year. The average healthcare data breach costs $10.9 million, the highest of any industry according to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report. And 88% of healthcare data breaches involve unauthorized access or credential theft (Verizon DBIR). Netsafe Solutions helps businesses close these gaps before auditors or attackers find them first.
What Compliance Services Does Netsafe Solutions Provide?
Every engagement includes the security controls, documentation, and ongoing monitoring your auditor expects to see.
HIPAA Compliance
For healthcare practices, dental offices, and any business handling protected health information. We implement access controls via Microsoft Entra ID, encryption, audit logging, and endpoint protection with SentinelOne EDR — and document everything for your auditor. Netsafe Solutions signs a Business Associate Agreement with every healthcare client.

If your business processes credit card payments, PCI-DSS compliance is mandatory. We configure network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and vulnerability scanning to meet PCI requirements. Our team documents your cardholder data environment and prepares you for QSA review.

Defense contractors and subcontractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) need CMMC certification.

Every compliance framework starts with a risk assessment. We evaluate your technical, administrative, and physical safeguards against the framework that applies to your business — then deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap with specific steps, timelines, and cost estimates. This is the document your auditor will ask for first.
Explore network assessment servicesPolicy Development
Auditors want to see written policies — acceptable use, incident response, data handling, access management, and business continuity. We write compliance policies tailored to your business and your framework requirements, not generic templates. Every policy maps to specific controls in HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, or SOC 2.

90% of all cyberattacks begin with a phishing email (Proofpoint State of the Phish 2024). Your employees are the frontline. Netsafe Solutions provides security awareness training and phishing simulation through Black Point Cyber SOC — covering HIPAA privacy rules, PCI data handling, and social engineering recognition.

Netsafe Solutions prices compliance-ready managed IT per device per month, with Microsoft 365 services billed per licensed mailbox. The compliance layer — security risk assessments, policy documentation, security configurations, employee training, and audit preparation — is built into our managed services engagement rather than sold as a separate add-on. This means your compliance posture improves alongside your day-to-day IT management, not as an afterthought.
For context, hiring a dedicated compliance officer in Charlotte typically costs $75,000–$110,000 per year in salary alone. Netsafe Solutions gives your business access to compliance expertise across HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and SOC 2 — plus a full 15+ person technical team — for a fraction of that cost. Most businesses tell us our rate came in lower than other quotes they received. Contact Netsafe Solutions for a custom compliance quote →
Why Charlotte Businesses Choose Netsafe Solutions for Compliance
Frequently Asked Questions — IT Compliance Services Charlotte
What is HIPAA compliance and why does it matter for Charlotte healthcare businesses?
HIPAA compliance is a set of federal regulations requiring healthcare organizations to protect patient health information through administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Violations cost $100 to $50,000 per incident, with annual maximums reaching $1.9 million per violation category (HHS, 2024). Any Charlotte business that stores, transmits, or processes protected health information — including dental offices, medical practices, and their IT vendors — must comply.
What IT controls are required for HIPAA compliance?
HIPAA requires access controls, audit logging, encryption of data at rest and in transit, automatic session timeouts, unique user identification, and emergency access procedures. Netsafe Solutions implements these through Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access policies, SentinelOne endpoint detection, and Black Point Cyber SOC 24/7 monitoring — then documents everything for your auditor.
Does Netsafe Solutions sign Business Associate Agreements?
Yes. Netsafe Solutions signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every healthcare client. A BAA is legally required before any IT provider can access, store, or transmit protected health information on behalf of a covered entity. We don't wait for you to ask — it's part of our standard onboarding for healthcare practices.
Does Microsoft 365 support HIPAA compliance?
Microsoft 365 can be made HIPAA-compliant, but it's not compliant by default. It requires proper security configuration — Conditional Access, data loss prevention, audit logging, and a signed Business Associate Agreement with Microsoft. Netsafe Solutions configures M365 tenants for HIPAA compliance using Entra ID, Conditional Access, and the security features included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
How much does HIPAA-compliant IT management cost?
Netsafe Solutions prices compliance-ready managed IT per device per month, with Microsoft 365 services billed per licensed mailbox. The HIPAA compliance layer — risk assessments, policy documentation, security configurations, and audit preparation — is included in our managed services engagement. Contact Netsafe Solutions for a custom quote based on your practice size and compliance requirements.
What is the HIPAA Security Risk Assessment and does my practice need one?
A HIPAA Security Risk Assessment is a documented evaluation of your organization's technical, administrative, and physical safeguards for protecting patient data. Every covered entity and business associate is required to conduct one — it's not optional. Netsafe Solutions performs security risk assessments that identify gaps, prioritize remediation steps, and produce the documentation auditors expect to see.
