Cetrom Connect Image

Cetrom Connect™ is a universal API that enables secure and reliable communication between networks over the Internet, leveraging Azure technology. With Cetrom Connect™, Cetrom can securely connect your networks, including the Cetrom virtual desktop, Microsoft 365, Active Directory Domain Services, your local network, cloud printing, and more—eliminating the need for local on-site servers.

Between the desire to maintain a flexible hybrid work model, retain and attract top talent, and comply with FTC, GLBA, and IRS standards and regulations, as well as stricter policies required for cyber liability insurance, Cetrom continues to innovate and provide IT solutions that meet and exceed security and compliance needs.

Compliance with FTC Safeguards Rule:

With the enforcement of the FTC Safeguards Rule on June 9, 2023, firms involved in tax preparation and those with over 5,000 customer records on-premises or in cloud applications may face a new set of requirements and penalties. Firms with fewer than 5,000 customers are also subject to the FTC Safeguards Rule and should note the 314.6 exceptions. Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to $100,000 or imprisonment for each violation. Additionally, officers and directors may be fined up to $10,000 for each violation.

Cetrom Connect™ helps maintain your compliance with the FTC Safeguards Rule, GLBA, and IRS regulations and avoid potential penalties through the following network security features:

  • Multifactor Authentication
  • Conditional Access for Authorized Users
  • Centralized Management of Workstations
  • Secure Data Accessed on Mobile Devices
  • Single Sign-on Between Cloud & Local
