IT and Cybersecurity Services by Industry
Healthcare, legal, financial services, and defense each carry distinct IT and compliance requirements, what satisfies HIPAA doesn't satisfy CMMC, and what works for a law firm doesn't work for a manufacturer. Stratify IT builds industry-specific solutions around your regulatory environment, not a generic package adapted after the fact.
Legal Industry: Confidentiality Controls and Compliance
Law firms handle information that cannot be disclosed, client communications, litigation strategy, financial records, under professional responsibility obligations that go beyond general data protection law. Legal IT requires document management systems with access controls, secure remote access for attorneys working outside the office, and cybersecurity architecture that can withstand the scrutiny of a state bar inquiry or malpractice claim involving a data breach.
- Confidentiality controls covering document management, email, and matter files
- Compliance support for state bar technology requirements and client data handling obligations
- Incident response procedures documented to support professional liability defense
AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction): Project Data and Collaboration
AEC firms manage large file sets, CAD drawings, BIM models, specifications, RFIs, across distributed teams that include owners, subcontractors, and consultants who are not on the firm's network. The IT challenge is enabling that collaboration without exposing proprietary project data, while keeping project management platforms, field access, and office infrastructure running reliably through project cycles that span years.
- Secure file sharing architecture for large-format project data across external collaborators
- Remote access solutions for field teams and project sites
- IT infrastructure that scales with project staffing without creating long-term overhead
Healthcare: Patient Data Protection and HIPAA Compliance
The healthcare industry operates under HIPAA's Security Rule, which requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect electronic protected health information across every system that stores, processes, or transmits it. For New York providers, the NY SHIELD Act and NYSDOH cybersecurity regulations for hospitals add state-specific requirements that many organizations have not fully mapped against their existing HIPAA programs.
- HIPAA risk analysis and risk management plan development under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1)
- Technical safeguard implementation covering access controls, audit logging, and encryption
- EHR platform support and integration with clinical workflow systems
Finance: Regulatory Compliance and Data Security
Financial services firms face overlapping regulatory obligations, NYDFS Part 500 cybersecurity requirements, SEC and FINRA data protection rules, SOX IT controls for public companies, and PCI-DSS for organizations handling payment card data. Financial IT requires security controls that satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously, with documentation maintained continuously rather than assembled before an exam.
- NYDFS Part 500 compliance support including annual certification and incident reporting
- SOX IT controls covering access provisioning, change management, and segregation of duties
- Infrastructure that supports trading, transaction processing, and client data without single points of failure
Other Industries: Defense, Nonprofit, Retail, and More
Stratify IT works with organizations across a range of industries, defense contractors working toward CMMC 2.0, nonprofits managing donor and beneficiary data, retail organizations with PCI-DSS obligations, and educational institutions handling student records under FERPA. The common thread is that generic IT support rarely addresses the compliance and operational requirements that define each sector.
- CMMC 2.0 gap analysis and compliance implementation for defense contractors handling CUI
- Industry-specific compliance frameworks mapped to your actual IT environment
- Scalable support models that match your organization's size and budget
Why Organizations Work With Stratify IT
- Industry Experience Since 2002: We have worked across legal, healthcare, financial services, defense contracting, AEC, and nonprofit sectors long enough that the compliance and operational requirements in each are familiar, not something we research after you engage us.
- Compliance Built Into the Environment: We integrate framework requirements into infrastructure and security architecture from the start. Retrofitting controls after the fact is more expensive and produces weaker compliance postures.
- Vendor-Neutral Recommendations: We recommend what fits your environment and compliance requirements, not what generates the highest margin or what we have a preferred vendor agreement on.
- Consistent Team: Your project is handled by engineers who know your environment. You don't re-explain your infrastructure on every support call.
