Chicago Compliance & Cybersecurity Services

Stay Compliant. Secure Data. Protect Your Business.

In 2024, 4 out of 5 businesses experienced a breach. For many, the biggest loss came afterward, when they could not prove compliance to insurers or regulators. Claims were denied, settlements dragged on, and some Chicago-area companies paid $800K+ out of pocket. At Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS), we help Chicago organizations avoid that scenario. You’re the hero protecting your data and contracts — we provide the roadmap, controls, and evidence that prove you are compliant when it matters most.

Why Compliance Matters in Chicago

Chicago’s economy is built on highly regulated sectors — from healthcare to finance to automotive manufacturing. That means compliance is not optional; it is a condition of staying in business.

  • Manufacturers supporting the defense supply chain → must comply with CMMC and NIST 800-171.
  • Automotive dealerships and suppliers → required to meet FTC Safeguards, and often ISO/SAE 21434 or TISAX for OEM partners.
  • Healthcare providers → subject to HIPAA and HITECH requirements for patient privacy.
  • Financial services and fintech firms → governed by GLBA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.
  • SaaS and tech startups → need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 to win enterprise deals.
  • Illinois-based companies handling biometrics → must comply with BIPA (Biometric Information Privacy Act).

The challenge isn’t just meeting these requirements. It’s being able to demonstrate compliance on demand to partners, auditors, or insurers.

Where Chicago Businesses Struggle

Insurers, regulators, and enterprise clients don’t just ask what tools you have. They ask for proof:

  • Evidence of security awareness training
  • Signed policy acknowledgements from staff
  • Documentation that MFA is active and enforced
  • A tested incident response plan with results
  • Logs showing systems are secured and monitored

Without this evidence, businesses risk losing contracts, failing audits, or having insurance claims denied.
