COMPLIANCE FAQ
Cyber compliance for cannabis operators.
What does the compliance check assess?
It maps eight critical security controls against each state's cannabis regulations and data-security statutes — MFA on email, MFA on POS, EDR on endpoints, written ISP, vendor risk register, incident response plan, security training, and encrypted backups. Each control is weighted by criticality and state-specific legal requirements.
Is this tool free?
Yes. CannaShield provides the Compliance Quick-Check as a free initial gap analysis for cannabis operators. It is not a legal assessment and does not replace qualified legal counsel.
Why is Illinois stricter than other states?
The Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (CRTA) and Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) explicitly require licensees to implement multi-factor authentication for system access and encryption of all personal and financial data. These are among the most specific cybersecurity mandates in state cannabis law as of mid-2026.
What happens after the check?
Your results include a pass/gap badge per control and a state-specific note. Critical gaps link to CannaShield's License Protection service, which builds the written ISP, vendor register, and IR plan your state expects — documented and audit-ready before your next renewal.
