Who We Serve

IT for Businesses
Where Failure Isn’t an Option.

Iron Core doesn’t serve everyone. We focus on NJ’s regulated industries — where a breach has legal consequences, compliance is non-negotiable, and downtime has real costs. That focus makes us measurably better at it.

Industries Overview

Seven Verticals.
One Standard.

Every industry we serve gets the same commitment: proactive IT, documented compliance, and an environment that passes audits. The specifics change — the standard doesn’t.

ABA Rule 1.6 · Ethics Opinions · Malpractice Carriers

IT for
Law Firms

Client confidentiality isn’t a preference — it’s a bar requirement. ABA Model Rule 1.6 and state ethics opinions now explicitly require lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to client information. We build the IT environment that satisfies that obligation.

⚠ Industry Risk
Law firms are the #1 target for ransomware in professional services. A breach doesn’t just cost money — it triggers bar reporting obligations, malpractice exposure, and client notification requirements.

How We Help Law Firms

Client data encryption — at rest and in transit, across all devices and cloud storage, meeting ABA and malpractice carrier requirements
Ethical wall enforcement — technical controls ensuring proper information barriers between matters and practice groups
Ransomware protection — multi-layered defense with immutable backups, so a ransomware event becomes a recovery exercise, not a crisis
eDiscovery readiness — defensible data management practices and litigation hold capabilities built into your IT infrastructure
Malpractice carrier compliance — documented cybersecurity controls that satisfy carrier questionnaires and reduce your premiums
Secure remote access — work from anywhere without exposing client files, with MFA and Zero Trust architecture

HIPAA · HITECH · OCR

IT for Medical
Practices

OCR fines start at $100 per violation and scale to $2 million per category. We handle your full HIPAA technical safeguard requirements — from EHR security and access controls to breach response planning and risk assessments.

⚠ Industry Risk
Healthcare is the most breached industry for the 13th consecutive year. The average healthcare breach costs $10.93M. OCR has increased enforcement actions and is now auditing small practices — not just hospitals.

How We Help Medical Practices

HIPAA Security Rule compliance — all 42 technical safeguard requirements addressed, documented, and maintained
EHR security & integration — secure configuration of your EHR system with proper access controls, audit logging, and backup
Annual risk assessments — the #1 item OCR checks first. We conduct, document, and maintain your required HIPAA risk assessment
Breach response planning — documented incident response plan with notification procedures meeting the 60-day HITECH timeline

IT for Financial
Services

FINRA examiners check your IT controls. SEC Regulation S-P requires safeguards for customer information. We document everything — access controls, incident response, data archiving — so your next exam is a non-event.

⚠ Industry Risk
FINRA fined firms over $96M in 2023 for compliance failures. Cybersecurity remains a top examination priority. Firms that can’t produce IT documentation during an exam face escalating scrutiny and potential sanctions.

How We Help Financial Services

FINRA cybersecurity compliance — documented controls aligned with FINRA’s cybersecurity checklist and examination priorities
SEC Reg S-P & S-ID — technical safeguards for customer information protection and identity theft prevention
Email archiving & retention — compliant email archiving meeting SEC 17a-4 and FINRA 3110 supervision requirements

IT for Manufacturing
& Engineering

DOD suppliers must meet CMMC 2.0 or lose contracts. NIST 800-171 compliance isn’t optional for companies handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). We assess your posture and implement the 110 controls required to maintain eligibility.

⚠ Industry Risk
Manufacturing is the most targeted industry for cyberattacks globally. OT/IT convergence creates unique attack surfaces. Non-compliance with CMMC results in immediate loss of DOD contract eligibility.

How We Help Manufacturers

CMMC 2.0 readiness assessment — gap analysis against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls with prioritized remediation roadmap
CUI protection — technical controls for identifying, marking, handling, and protecting Controlled Unclassified Information
OT/IT security — network segmentation between operational technology and corporate IT to protect production systems
SSP & POAM documentation — System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones maintained and audit-ready
