The regulatory landscape is ever-evolving, making compliance a challenging task for businesses. Depending on your industry, the data you process, and other factors, there are several frameworks and regulations you may need to comply with. Failure to meet requirements can result in hefty fines.

Security Compliance Grows Even More Challenging

n response to an increase in IT security breaches and recent technology trends, industry standards have become more complex—and compliance directives more ambitious. Compliance risk is exposure to legal penalties, financial forfeiture, and material loss an organization faces when it fails to act in accordance with industry laws and regulations, internal policies, or prescribed best practices. Adding to the difficulty of security compliance is the limited effectiveness of perimeter-based network security tools and the dispersal of security functions and responsibilities resulting from BYOD and the use of cloud services. And with governments increasingly active in mandating protections for sensitive consumer data, enterprises will likely confront increasing audit and security compliance obligations, placing further demands on already over-burdened IT shops.
