For companies today, the need to maintain and enhance levels of audit and compliance against the backdrop of an ever-worsening cyber security threat landscape has become more pressing than ever before.
Security and compliance breaches can cause operational disruption, lost revenue, customer dissatisfaction, and lead to potentially catastrophic legal or regulatory actions, according to a new white paper published by compliance automation specialist Drata.
After these labour-intensive processes, compliance officers must then map this evidence against internal policies and external compliance frameworks.
This fundamental productivity shift can be achieved as automation streamlines the auditing process, while simultaneously improving compliance and security.
Certifying compliance continuously rather than at a point in time gives customers significantly more confidence in a company's ability to maintain compliance.
It is these concerns that are in turn driving momentum for the mainstream adoption of compliance automation technologies.
