A perfect storm of data breaches and corporate scandals has made regulatory compliance impossible to ignore for security leaders and business execs alike. And while many enterprise solutions claim to be compliant, they often lack the necessary capabilities, leaving IT and security teams stuck in reactive mode — scrambling to meet auditor and stakeholder demands before it’s too late.
To make matters worse, new regulations come with some serious bite. Fail to comply with PCI? Say goodbye to processing credit card payments. Violate HIPAA? Expect steep fines (upwards of $1.5 million). Public companies that can’t pass SOX audits risk delisting, and if executives sign off on inaccurate financials, they could face criminal charges.
