Frequently Asked Questions About Compliance Services
What's the real cost of non-compliance?
FERPA violations cost $1,000 per incident and can eliminate federal funding. The average data breach costs Higher Ed institutions $3.25 million. Our implementations have prevented $10M+ in potential losses.
What makes NewPush different from generic IT providers?
We've exclusively served Higher Education for 20+ years, protecting 75+ institutions and 1 million+ students. Our OCSF-based platform achieved proven outcomes like $4.2M annual savings and 90% reduction in research disruptions.
Which regulations does NewPush help Higher Ed institutions comply with?
We support compliance with FERPA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOX, DORA, HIPAA, NIS2, and more. Our services delivered 100% audit success while reducing manual effort by 80%.
Do you provide tools or just consulting?
We provide both. Our proprietary platform, built on OCSF, integrates with your existing systems to deliver real-time compliance monitoring and evidence collection. Our team also offers strategic consulting, policy development, and implementation support.
How long does it take to become compliant with NIST 800-171 or CMMC?
Timelines vary based on your current maturity and IT infrastructure. A typical readiness assessment and roadmap development takes 2-4 weeks, with full implementation requiring 3-6 months depending on gaps. We provide a phased approach to meet short- and long-term milestones.
Can NewPush help us prepare for a specific upcoming audit?
Yes. We provide pre-audit readiness reviews, documentation support, and auditor Q&A preparation. Whether you're undergoing a CMMC Level 2 assessment or a FERPA data security review, we make sure you're prepared and confident.
What makes your IT compliance services different from generic MSPs?
We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our services are tailored specifically for Higher Education environments, including SIS/LMS systems, decentralized networks, and academic governance structures. We also provide hands-on remediation—not just gap reports.
How do you help us maintain ongoing compliance, not just pass an audit?
We implement continuous compliance tools, monitor key metrics in real-time, and update your controls as regulations evolve. This helps you maintain posture over time rather than scrambling before each audit cycle.
Will your services integrate with the tools we already use?
Yes. Our platform integrates with your existing infrastructure, including cloud services, firewalls, identity providers, and endpoint protection platforms. We build on your investments to maximize ROI and minimize disruption.
