IT Compliance Services

Our IT Compliance solutions include:

Cyber Essentials: is a government-backed scheme helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) fortify their cybersecurity. The basic certification demonstrates your commitment to implementing core technical controls against common threats. For even greater assurance, Cyber Essentials Plus involves a more rigorous technical audit, validating your defences against sophisticated attacks. Partner with OCM to achieve Cyber Essentials certification and Cyber Essentials Plus. We assess readiness, implement controls, and support you throughout the process.

Cyber Essentials Plus builds upon the foundation of Cyber Essentials, offering a higher level of assurance for organisations seeking greater security validation. While both certifications focus on the same five key technical controls (firewalls, secure configuration, access controls, malware protection, and patch management), Cyber Essentials Plus goes a step further. The key difference is that Cyber Essentials Plus involves a hands-on technical audit conducted by an independent assessor. This audit verifies that the security controls are not only claimed in a self-assessment questionnaire but are correctly implemented and effective in protecting the organisation's systems.

General Data Protection Regulation: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive European Union regulation establishing robust rules for how businesses and organisations must handle personal data. Personal data encompasses not only identifying details like names and addresses but also IP addresses, location data, and online behavior. GDPR mandates transparency, user consent, data minimisation, and strict security measures. Penalties for non-compliance are severe. Understanding and adhering to GDPR principles demonstrates an organisation's respect for individual privacy, protects them from harm, and instills customer trust. OCM's GDPR compliance services ensure GDPR compliance through data audits, policy development and ongoing support.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard: PCI DSS is a set of comprehensive security requirements designed to protect sensitive cardholder data throughout the entire payment process. It applies to any business that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder information, regardless of size or transaction volume.  The goal of PCI DSS is to prevent fraud and data breaches, safeguarding customer trust and financial information. Compliance isn't a legal requirement in itself, but it's enforced through contracts with payment brands like Visa and Mastercard. Non-compliant businesses can face hefty fines, increased processing fees, and even lose the ability to process card payments.
