Compliance Officers
The challenge:
Keeping your organization in line with regulatory mandates - before, during and after required audits
As a compliance officer, you’re asked to certify that your organization remains in line with complex, yet often ambiguous requirements handed down by everyone from government entities to industry watchdogs. While the scope and proscriptive nature of many of these measures grow, you’re told to implement controls that remain challenging to maintain, and you’re faced with assessments from third-party auditors who sometimes offer little guidance about their specific expectations before showing up to test your environments.
You’re likely already leveraging scanners, compliance management systems and defensive technologies aimed at helping you prove that your organization is not only following recommended best practices, but attempting to go beyond the bare minimums of these regulations to ensure that your team’s level of due diligence is readily obvious. But with the fluid nature of IT infrastructure and constant emergence of new and varied threats, staying compliant with every individual control on a daily basis has become a never-ending game of catch-up.
Additionally, a growing number of compliance mandates including the PCI Data Security Standard and the U.S. federal government’s NIST Special Publication (SP) 800 documents establish penetration testing as a preferred method for auditing security controls.
To ensure that your organization is doing the best job possible of maintaining compliance on a daily, monthly and yearly basis, you need a more effective way of tracking your state of security.
You need the ability to self-assess your state of compliance at any given time and manage risk within the context of real-world threats: via proactive security testing.
