IT Audit, Compliance & Cybersecurity in Central New Jersey
Compliance work grounded in real audit methodology looks different from a generic checklist — FINT System's IT audit, cybersecurity, and compliance consulting is backed by CISA certification across ITGC/SOX, HIPAA, and NIST-aligned assessments, with hands-on banking IT audit experience behind the SOX/ITGC work specifically.
This service covers IT General Controls (ITGC) and SOX compliance consulting, HIPAA security risk assessments for medical and dental practices, NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)-aligned cybersecurity assessments, vendor risk reviews, and cyber control reviews for small and medium-sized businesses that need real IT governance, not just a security opinion.
It's typically engaged by a business preparing for a SOX audit or working with auditors who expect documented IT controls, a medical or dental practice that needs a documented HIPAA risk assessment, a company evaluating vendor risk before signing a new contract, or an owner who knows their cybersecurity posture is informal and wants an honest, structured assessment of where the actual gaps are.
For medical and dental clients, HIPAA work is scoped to the technical safeguards under the HIPAA Security Rule — access controls, encryption, audit logging, and risk analysis documentation — delivered alongside the general IT support many of these practices already rely on. It's a straightforward extension for a practice that may already carry HIPAA exposure through its IT systems without a formal risk assessment on file.
NIST CSF-aligned assessments give a business a structured, widely recognized way to evaluate its cybersecurity posture — identifying, protecting against, detecting, responding to, and recovering from security risks — without requiring pursuit of a specific certification. It's commonly used to satisfy cyber insurance questionnaires, vendor due diligence requests, or simply to get a clear, prioritized picture of where security investment should go next.
Assessments across all of these areas are grounded in real audit and security methodology, not a generic vendor questionnaire. Findings are prioritized by actual risk rather than delivered as a long checklist with no ranking, and recommendations are scoped to what a small or mid-sized business can realistically implement. This service is priced and delivered differently from FINT's other IT work because it draws directly on the owner's CISA certification, with banking IT audit background specifically informing the SOX/ITGC side of the work.

IT Audit, Compliance & Cybersecurity — Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and a general IT security review?
This service is grounded in formal ITGC/SOX audit methodology, HIPAA Security Rule requirements, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework — backed by CISA certification, with banking IT audit background specifically behind the ITGC/SOX side. It's built for businesses that need documented, audit-ready work, not just a general security opinion.
Do you perform HIPAA security risk assessments for medical or dental practices?
Yes. HIPAA work is scoped to the technical safeguards under the HIPAA Security Rule — access controls, encryption, audit logging, and a documented risk analysis. It covers the technical assessment itself, not legal or Privacy Rule policy certification, which we'd expect a practice to coordinate with healthcare counsel.
What does a NIST-aligned cybersecurity assessment include?
We assess your environment against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework's core functions — identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover — and deliver a prioritized set of findings rather than a raw checklist. This is a widely accepted framework, not a formal certification, so it fits any business size without requiring accreditation.
Do you work directly with our external auditors?
Yes — vendor risk reviews and control documentation can be prepared to align with what external auditors expect to see during a SOX or IT controls review.
Is this service only for large companies, or does it make sense for a small business?
Small and mid-sized businesses use this service most often when they're growing into audit or insurance requirements for the first time — new investors, new banking relationships, a cyber insurance renewal, or new compliance obligations — and need controls that are documented, not just informally understood.
How is this priced compared to your other IT services?
This is priced separately from general IT support, starting at $150/hr. Formal HIPAA or NIST-aligned assessments are typically scoped as a fixed-fee project after an initial consultation, rather than open-ended hourly work.
