Paradigm Shift in IT Continuous Compliance

Today, security takes the top-most priority when it comes to IT operational excellence. The demand for enhanced security posture stems from industry requirements, while the necessity for compliant systems is propelled by regulatory bodies.

Against this backdrop, the question that begs answering is: while organisations are firefighting the security challenges at hand, how do they blend Governance and Compliance into this chaos?

In navigating the complex landscape of security and compliance, insights from industry professionals play a pivotal role. These experts have honed their understanding of the intricate balance between security and governance.

While industry demands drive the need for robust security postures, regulatory authorities emphasise the importance of compliant systems. However, achieving equilibrium between the two is not always straightforward. Logically speaking, a good security posture should mean a good score on governance compliance. However, that is not often the case.

Delving deeper, the reasons behind the prolonged duration of compliance and governance exercises are not solely attributed to common issues such as untimely submissions, manual data collection, error-prone processes, challenges with multi-region compliance, or template-based submissions.

Thought leaders who have effectively bridged the gap possess profound insights that can reveal valuable strategies for both security and compliance.

Future-proofing organisations by leveraging and building upon existing resources has proven to be consistently beneficial in the IT industry. However, the complexity of this task demands industry professionals to examine what other organisations have already accomplished, including:

• Sustain – Build – Buy: The mantra to ensure continuous compliance
• Reusability
• Single evidence for multiple submissions
• Process efficiency
• Quantifying compliance (Codification of compliance)

And lastly, incorporating Generative AI to assist IT teams in devising solutions for the final stretch to bolster effectiveness.
