Cyber compliance for cannabis operators.

What does the compliance check assess?

It reviews eight practical controls: MFA on email and POS, endpoint protection, a written security program, vendor risk, incident response, training, and tested encrypted backups. Weighting reflects operational risk, not a claim that every control is expressly mandated by Connecticut cannabis rules.

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.

Which Connecticut laws inform this check?

Connecticut General Statutes § 42-471 requires organizations that possess another person's personal information to safeguard it from misuse. Section 36a-701b establishes breach-notification duties, and the CTDPA adds obligations for covered controllers. Applicability depends on your data and business model.

What happens after the check?

Your results include a pass/gap badge per control and a Connecticut-specific note. Critical gaps link to CannaShield's License Protection service, which builds a written security program, vendor register, and incident response plan — documented for renewal, insurance, and counsel review.
