Consultancy

Kalypton’s consulting business started from the realisation that organisations need to take a holistic view of compliance rather than concentrate on a particular regulation. Being ‘in compliance’ simply means that you comply with all relevant legal and regulatory regulations in all the jurisdictions where you do business. However, compliance is being promoted by many as a series of isolated requirements such as FDA, SEC and GLB that a packaged solution can meet. These ‘solutions’ may meet the individual requirement but fail to provide adequate protection because they miss all the other requirements.

Kalypton, with its partners, specialises in the worldwide legal and regulatory compliance requirements for the financial, life sciences, healthcare and telecommunications industries, and the technical means of achieving these requirements. Very few consultancies have the experience and people to service this very complex need. Kalypton Limited was founded, from our practical experience, to help organisations understand their compliance needs and develop plans that will help them achieve compliance.

Examples of tasks we undertake include:

• Compliance Review. Understanding a business and defining all the regulations and laws that apply.
• Gap Analysis. Often following a Compliance Review, looking at the existing procedures, processes and tools, and report on areas not covered.
• Sarbanes-Oxley Readiness Review. A very specific review on how an organisation meets the requirements of SOX, but always with an indication of where other factors may come in to play.
• Data Privacy. Looking at the impact and requirements of storing business records across multiple jurisdictions.
• Compliance Workshop. Compliance education and start the process of becoming compliant.
• Email Archiving and Record Retention. Consultancy in the requirements, product capabilities, policies, and procedures that are needed to achieve compliance.
• Using PKI. Explaining the issues of PKI and its use to underpin encryption and digital signatures to help with requirements for confidentiality, authenticity and integrity for regulations such as the H.I.P.A.A. and 21 CFR Part 11.
• General Consultancy. Provision of specific members of a compliance team from Project Manager to writing and advising on specific policy documents.

For the IT department, compliance requirements can be broadly broken into two areas: information security and data management. Additional services offered include:

• Penetration Testing
• Voice Authentication
• Identity Management Solutions
