Security News > 2021 > March > Passing a compliance audit in the cloud doesn’t have to be hard

Your company takes compliance and security very seriously, but you've no idea what or how to layer on top of AWS's existing security and compliance protocols to achieve levels necessary for compliance certification.

In this case and others, passing a compliance audit may prove particularly problematic even though your company is committed to performing at or above baseline legal requirements.

The secret to resolving compliance and security issues before they escalate into costly audit penalties is to proactively add an automated compliance and security management system in the cloud environment.

This way your company can take advantage of all the security benefits offered by the cloud provider while also managing other security aspects critical to your company's operations while also providing an audit trail that can be used to help verify compliance.

Cloud security automation can scale along with your workloads in cloud environments and correct compliance issues and security vulnerabilities as they occur.

In summary, answering auditors' most common areas of concern through proactive and automated management systems is a smart way to ensure security and compliance and improved audit processes and outcomes.
