Tulum Cybersecurity
for Cross-Border Business.
Tulum has become a hub for US entrepreneurs, remote-first companies, wellness brands, and hospitality ventures — but operating from Mexico creates a dual-compliance obligation most businesses overlook. Your US clients' data is still subject to HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, and PCI-DSS, while Mexico's LFPDPPP governs any personal data you collect locally from employees, guests, or partners. Katalism delivers compliance-first managed IT purpose-built for this cross-border reality, securing data transfers between US and Mexico operations, managing endpoint protection for distributed teams, and ensuring your business satisfies regulators on both sides of the border.

Why Katalism
Why US Businesses in Tulum Choose Katalism
Tulum's rapid growth as a destination for US entrepreneurs, wellness businesses, and boutique hospitality means more American companies are operating from the Riviera Maya — often without realizing they face compliance obligations in two countries. US regulations like HIPAA, SOC 2, and FTC Safeguards don't stop at the border, and Mexico's LFPDPPP (Ley Federal de Proteccion de Datos Personales en Posesion de los Particulares) adds its own requirements for data consent, privacy notices, and security safeguards for any personal data collected in Mexico. These businesses process US payments, handle customer data subject to US law, collect employee and guest data governed by Mexican law, and need enterprise-grade security that satisfies both jurisdictions — not the ad-hoc IT that most remote operations rely on.

We manage compliance across jurisdictions — US regulations (HIPAA, SOC 2, FTC Safeguards, PCI-DSS) alongside Mexico's Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data (LFPDPPP).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve US businesses operating from Tulum?
Yes. We provide remote managed IT and cybersecurity to US companies and entrepreneurs operating from Tulum and the Riviera Maya. Your compliance obligations don't change because you work from Mexico.
I run a remote US company from Tulum. Do I still need US compliance?
Yes. If you serve US customers, process US payments, or handle data subject to US regulations (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, PCI-DSS), you must comply regardless of where you physically operate. We make that seamless.

How reliable is your support for clients in Mexico?

Do you handle Mexican data protection law?
We configure your IT environment to satisfy both US regulations and Mexico's LFPDPPP (Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties), ensuring cross-border compliance.
What is LFPDPPP and does it apply to my US business in Tulum?
Mexico's LFPDPPP (Ley Federal de Proteccion de Datos Personales en Posesion de los Particulares) is Mexico's federal data protection law. It applies to any private entity — including US companies — that collects or processes personal data of individuals in Mexico. If your Tulum business collects employee information, guest data, client records, or payment details from people in Mexico, LFPDPPP requires you to issue privacy notices, obtain informed consent, and implement adequate security measures. This is in addition to US requirements like HIPAA and FTC Safeguards. Katalism manages both regulatory frameworks so your IT infrastructure, data handling policies, and cross-border data transfers are compliant in both jurisdictions.
