TECH LOCK, Inc., American Collectors Association of Texas Educational Foundation partner to “Secure” an Education

TECH LOCK, Inc., a leading compliance and technology consulting company, announced that it will be donating ten percent of TECH LOCK’s gross paid service fee invoices derived from business conducted with American Collectors Association of Texas members to the ACA of Texas Educational Foundation.

In recent years, significant awareness to compliance and risk to reputation is on everyone’s mind. Businesses are contracting with companies to secure their business as well as current and future clients. Whether it is CFPB readiness, FISMA, PCI DSS, SSAE16, HIPAA, or Texas H.B.300 to present to your clients, your company dollars go toward compliance, audits, or consultant services. Why not keep the money in the family, support your veterans, and obtain a competitive advantage?

ACA of Texas has a unique opportunity to make a significant breakthrough on behalf of the ACA of Texas Educational Foundation scholarship fund. TECH LOCK, Inc. and the American Collectors Association of Texas Educational Foundation will collaborate to transform compliance and IT consulting to education. Whether it is a compliance audit or IT consulting services, TECH LOCK, Inc. will donate a portion of its gross services fees to the ACA of Texas Educational Foundation for any ACA of Texas member that contracts for and receives any new TECH LOCK services during the period starting on March 1, 2014 and running through Feb 28th, 2015.

“ACA of Texas members have a great opportunity to leverage the ARM Industry’s leading compliance and IT consulting company and assist graduating high school seniors in securing additional monies toward their college education,” said Todd Langusch, TECH LOCK’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “With college tuition on the rise, we are excited to partner with the Educational Foundation and look forward to setting a record breaking year for the 2015
scholarship award(s).”

“TECH LOCK is a unique consulting company whose employees come from the ARM Industry, which means TECH LOCK understands our industry. And as a result, TECH LOCK is an ideal strategic partner for ACA of Texas members who need to test their data infrastructure for security weaknesses, or who need to review and test their infrastructure and related data security policies for regulatory compliance deficiencies”, said Greg Mason, ACA of Texas Past President.” “TECH LOCK is also a HITRUST CSF Assessor, which allows ACA of Texas members engaged in healthcare receivables to offer a Safe Harbor with Texas H.B. 300, since Texas H.B. 300 impacts ANY entity conducting business in Texas if they collect, use, and/or store Protected Health Information (PHI).”

“Two years ago, SAS 70 used to be the de facto audit standard and the proverbial rubber stamp for data security and privacy, says Mike Ryalls, President of RGS Financial and ACA of Texas President. “We entered the TECH LOCK® Certified program to move away from the SAS 70 misuse and obtain a true validation of our technical, physical, and administrative safeguards. SSAE 16 has replaced the SAS 70 but is not structured for security and privacy but rather internal controls over financial reporting. TECH LOCK® Certified provides RGS Financial a competitive differentiator along with a true validation of our commitment to protect our client’s data.”
