Why Fortune 500 Companies need Continuous Compliance?

For global fortune 500 companies, knowing real time IT compliance status is next to impossible because they are complex, huge in terms of data, number employees and IT assets. These institutions have their global presence and therefore also must comply with varied laws, rules, regulations, and standards. For them, meeting compliance standards plays an important role in making sure the business is secure. In these large organizations, Security and compliance teams focus on shortening the window of vulnerability, while IT Infrastructure teams concentrate on ensuring performance and availability of business systems. This disconnect result oversight of critical security and compliance gaps which gets uncovered during external audit. The biggest mistake enterprises make is thinking, “If I was compliant during last audit, I’m compliant forever.” At the same time, regulatory standards, IT infrastructure and compliance requirements change all the time. It requires monitoring and review, to ensure that the data is as protected as it was at the first-time compliance audit and applicable compliance standard, regulations are still in effect. This is the number one step for maintaining continuous compliance and reducing business risk for a potential data breach. Typically, it is observed that many enterprises face following issues while maintaining compliance:

• Complying with complicated and new regulations
• Lack of IT compliance management expertise
• Evolving IT landscape in terms of Critical infrastructure in Cloud, On-premise and related network, application, and cloud security aspects
• Deal with huge data produced by enterprise IT and Security System
• Ever expanding attack surface for hackers
• Maintaining up to date IT Asset inventory
• Identify critical assets storing, processing, and transmitting sensitive data
• Risky firewall rule sets go undetected
• Non-compliant user access scenarios not flagged
• In-scope assets not reporting logs
• In-scope assets missed from vulnerability scans
• Critical, overlooked vulnerabilities due to volume
