IT Consulting Built for Sussex Companies
Compliance-focused IT strategy from the team headquartered right here in town.
Compliance consulting is where Sussex businesses get the most value from working with Powerful IT Systems. HIPAA violations run $50,000 per incident, PCI-DSS non-compliance can shut a small business down, and CMMC certification is now mandatory for defense supply chain participation. We start with a gap analysis comparing your environment against the specific framework that applies to your industry, then produce a prioritized remediation plan sized for your scale — not enterprise solutions for a 15-person office. We implement the technical controls, create required documentation, and prepare you for audits. Headquartered right here in Sussex, we also deliver technology roadmaps, cloud strategy assessments, and honest cost comparisons for businesses at any stage of growth.

Quick IT Tips
Practical advice for Sussex businesses — whether you work with us or not.
- •If your Sussex business accepts credit cards, you're subject to PCI-DSS regardless of transaction volume. The compliance level differs, but the requirement doesn't. Get a baseline assessment before your next audit cycle.
- •HIPAA doesn't just apply to hospitals. If your Sussex office handles protected health information in any capacity — even as a business associate — you need technical safeguards, written policies, and a breach notification plan.
- •Before hiring an IT consultant, ask for a sample deliverable from a past engagement (redacted for confidentiality). If they can't show you what you'll actually get, the engagement is likely to produce vague recommendations.
- •Your technology roadmap should extend 3 years, update quarterly, and align with your business goals — not just your IT budget. Technology decisions made in isolation from business strategy waste money.
- •Sussex businesses pursuing CMMC certification should start preparation 12-18 months before they need it. The gap between 'we think we're compliant' and 'we can prove it to an assessor' is larger than most companies expect.
