Just Because You’re Compliant, Doesn’t Mean You’re Secure!

Given the high cost of non-compliance, organizations today often focus a lot on keeping up with the latest regulatory frameworks. At the same time, they assume that since they are compliant, they have also scored high on security. Unfortunately, that is never the case. Compliance has nothing to do with how security; regulatory legislation has never been written specifically to address the issue of network or data security.

In contrast to Regulatory Compliance Audits that are designed to capture the state of a given organization’s operations at a given moment in time, security requires a constant interaction between the management of a business and its assets. Constant scrutiny not only of the assets themselves but also of the measures put in place to protect them is an absolute requirement of an optimally secure environment.
