COMPANY OVERVIEW

In July of 2009, Roy Avila, CEO ITLNOW, identified a need to help small to medium size businesses comply with the challenges presented in the Code of Massachusetts Regulation 201 CMR 17.00. He has teamed with his longtime colleague, Joe Burns, to create, The Essential Guide for 201 CMR 17.00 Compliance, a practical and cost-effective tool for facilitating the development a company’s comprehensive written information security program consistent with the regulations.

The Guidebook contains the policies, procedures, best practices, forms, risk-based analysis, and tips from the Federal Trade Commission needed to facilitate the compliance process.

At the same time, iComplyNow was launched to provide a hub for data security, including identity theft, fraud prevention and consumer protection. Businesses and consumers both need a place to get reliable unbiased information and help with information privacy and, over time, iComplyNow will become that place. This unit will create additional guides for assisting companies comply with the growing multitude of (and somewhat overlapping) federal and state regulations for protecting consumer and personal information from identity theft and fraud.

We know, first hand, what it’s like for a person to suffer identity theft.

Hundreds if not thousands of dollars in bounced checks and fraudulent charges, leading to cancelled credit cards, dealing with law enforcement and all the other entanglements that go with it.

Millions of unsuspecting citizens, even as I write this, have had their identities stolen or their credit card compromised. The havoc this problem can wreak upon an individual is relentless.
