Compliance with regulatory frameworks that govern cybersecurity and data privacy issues is often seen as a headache for organisations, dismissed as an exercise in bureaucratic formalities.
It's true that cyber compliance doesn't automatically translate into an effective cyber security posture. But it's also true that compliance gives cyber teams a structure for closing up the increasingly numerous types of gaps in security.
A recent survey from PwC reported that 96% of business leaders said regulations prompted their organisation to improve its security. More than three-quarters added that those same regulations have challenged, improved, or increased their security posture.
Due to the sheer volume of required controls involved, compliance frameworks demand that you take a risk-based approach to cybersecurity. That forces a shift away from tools and networks, and towards a focus on people, policies, and threats.
