The Importance Of Compliance

Cybersecurity compliance is essential for businesses.

Sensitive information needs to be protected, and trust in your organisation must be maintained and enhanced.

Non-compliance can result in :

Financial losses
Decreased customer trust
Reputational damage
Decreased confidence with customers
Fines and penalties
Sensitive data breaches
Legal proceedings

Regulatory compliance is the process of adhering to established standards and regulations to protect computer networks from cyber threats. This process involves implementing security controls such as encryption, firewalls, and regular system updates to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information.

IT security compliance assists with the set-up of continuous monitoring and assessment processes of devices, networks, and systems to meet regulatory cybersecurity compliance requirements. A compliance program assists organisations with risk analysis, and helps to create a framework to protect sensitive data, and mitigate data breach threats

However, cybersecurity compliance is not just a strict set of mandatory requirements, it is crucial for business success, overall.

It is important to realise that cyber criminals target businesses of all sizes.

We can assist with Cyber Essentials auditing, which is an annually renewable certification that will demonstrate that your organisation has the best security controls in place.

The certification also proves to your customers and third-party associates that you prioritise cybersecurity within your organisation, promotes trust, and allows you to feel confident applying for the growing number of contracts that address supply chain security.
