IT compliance services for firms that handle sensitive data.
As your managed IT and cybersecurity partner, Microtech handles the technology and security side of compliance. We put the safeguards the rules require into your systems, keep them running, and give you the documentation an auditor or insurer asks to see.
We have protected Florida firms since 1996. Our approach is proactive and ongoing, so your program stays current as the rules and your firm change, instead of becoming a binder on a shelf.
What compliance support includes
- A compliance risk assessment
- HIPAA, FTC Safeguards & WISP support
- Controls built into your IT & security
- Documentation for auditors & insurers
- Ongoing monitoring and updates
The rules that apply to you, handled by name.
Each of the firms we serve answers to different regulators. We tell you which rules apply, put the controls in place, and hand you the proof.
Law Firms
Your duty of confidentiality and bar guidance expect reasonable steps to protect client data, and cyber insurers now ask what they are. We build the program and give you the documentation to answer them.
CPAs & Financial Firms
The FTC Safeguards Rule and the IRS both point to a written information security program (WISP). We build and maintain it, put the controls in place, and hand you the records an examiner or insurer asks for.
Healthcare & Dental
The HIPAA Security Rule requires safeguards and a risk assessment. We put HIPAA-aligned protections in place, complete the assessment, and document it so it holds up to an audit.
From a scramble to a short, calm project.
Assessment
We find the gaps between how your firm runs today and the rules that apply to you.
Put controls in place

Your compliance questions, answered.
What is IT compliance?
Running your technology in line with the rules that apply to your firm, such as HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, or a WISP, and keeping the documentation that proves it. It is both the controls and the records that show they work.
What is a WISP?
A Written Information Security Program, a documented plan for how your firm protects sensitive data. The IRS requires tax and accounting firms to maintain one, and the FTC Safeguards Rule effectively requires one for many financial firms.
What is the FTC Safeguards Rule?
A federal requirement under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that requires many CPA and financial firms to run a written security program with controls such as access limits, encryption, and multi-factor authentication.
What does HIPAA compliance mean for my practice?
If your practice creates, stores, or transmits patient health information, the HIPAA Security Rule requires you to protect it and complete a security risk assessment, with documentation that shows your safeguards are in place.
Do you guarantee we will pass an audit or never have a breach?
No, and be cautious of anyone who does. We put the controls auditors and insurers ask for in place and document them, so your firm is in the strongest, most defensible position.
Is compliance included in your IT plans?
Compliance support is offered as an added layer with packages that fit your firm, scoped to the rules that actually apply to you.
Do you only serve Fort Lauderdale?
No. We are based in Fort Lauderdale and work on site across South Florida, and we support firms nationwide.
