Can Meta IT Pro determine whether our business is legally covered by the Rule?

No. Coverage and legal obligations should be determined with qualified legal or compliance counsel. We provide technical security and implementation support.

Yes. We help plan and deploy appropriate multi-factor authentication and access controls across supported business systems.
