Let’s talk about compliance.
Not the binders. Not the technical jargon. Not the fire drills.
Let’s talk about the bigger picture—running a professional firm that’s efficient, protected, and ready for whatever comes next.
Whether you're in accounting, legal, or healthcare, regulations are tightening fast. Cyber insurers are asking tougher questions. Clients want proof of security. And compliance frameworks like HIPAA, GLBA, and CMMC are starting to show up on checklists and contracts.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t need to wait for a mandate to start doing the right things.
In fact, the smartest firms are already getting ahead—by aligning with proven cybersecurity frameworks like:
CIS Controls v8.1
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0
These aren’t just for giant enterprises. They’re built to help your kind of firm—especially if you work with sensitive client data and don’t have a full-time IT department.
Getting ahead of compliance doesn’t just reduce risk—it makes life easier for everyone.
When you follow a standard like CIS or NIST, you gain:
✅ More resilient systems – Stronger controls, fewer surprises
✅ Clearer priorities – No more guesswork around what “good security” looks like
✅ Faster response – If something goes wrong, your playbook’s already written
✅ Audit readiness – Clients, insurers, and regulators get what they need—without scrambling
And here’s a stat worth knowing:
Completing CIS 8.1 Level 2 gets you more than 50% of the way to CMMC Level 2.
Even if you're not required to meet CMMC, it shows how starting with a practical framework today sets you up for future needs—without starting from scratch.
Now, we get it—frameworks sound like something your IT person should handle. But if you’re the owner or managing partner, you’re the one signing off on risk.
That’s where we come in.
You could think of us as your CIS Framework Man—just without the cape.
🦸♂️ We help firms like yours align to smart, scalable cybersecurity practices
💬 We speak business, not buzzwords
📋 We map controls to real operations—not ideal-world theory
⚙️ And we make it manageable—one step at a time
We’re not here to sell you a bunch of tech. We’re here to give you control over your risk, your compliance posture, and your long-term IT strategy.
You don’t need a CIO or a compliance officer to start this.
If you check any of these boxes, it’s time to move:
You manage sensitive client data
You’re renewing cyber liability insurance
You’ve had a close call (or an actual scare)
Your clients are asking security questions you’re not sure how to answer
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
We work with firms just like yours—10 to 50 people, 1 to 5 locations, often with a trusted in-house IT resource but no strategic IT lead.
That’s where Big Water Tech fills the gap.
You don’t need to overhaul everything tomorrow. But starting with the right framework now saves time, stress, and money down the road.
Let us help you map it out.
No cape required.
