Industries We Support
BAY IT resources are trained to operate within the compliance and operational constraints of regulated verticals — enabling your MSP to confidently serve enterprise clients in high-stakes sectors.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations require IT partners who understand PHI handling, BAA obligations, and the clinical workflow sensitivity that makes unplanned downtime a patient safety issue — not just a productivity one.
- Microsoft Purview DLP for PHI classification
- Conditional Access policies scoped to clinical systems
- Backup and DR aligned to HIPAA availability requirements
- vCISO risk assessments under your letterhead
Financial Services & Banking
Financial services firms face overlapping regulatory requirements across data security, access governance, and audit readiness. MSPs in this vertical need delivery resources who treat compliance documentation as a first-class deliverable — not an afterthought.
- PIM configuration for privileged account governance
- Audit log configuration and retention compliance
- Change management with documented approval chains
- vCISO risk register and board-level reporting
Legal & Professional Services
Law firms and professional services organizations require stringent data confidentiality, matter-segregated access controls, and IT partners who understand that a data breach is a professional liability event.
- Microsoft Purview eDiscovery and retention configuration
- DLP rules scoped to matter-sensitive file types
- Insider Risk Management baseline deployment
- Entra ID governance for matter-level access

SaaS companies face investor and enterprise customer pressure to demonstrate SOC 2 compliance. MSPs supporting this vertical need resources who can configure the operational controls that feed SOC 2 evidence.

- Endpoint compliance baselines for SOC 2 CC6
- Azure security posture assessment
- vCISO SOC 2 readiness engagement

- System Security Plan documentation support
- Access control implementation for CUI systems

- Continuous compliance monitoring via Sentinel
