Meeting Regulatory Compliance Mandates

Abstract

Organizations must approach regulatory compliance requirements with sustainability in mind if they are to manage their risk effectively. This is a security-driven compliance approach, and if we are compliant, we are secure. Security must be sustained in order to be secure. If you do nothing more than what’s necessary to pass a SOX or FISMA audit, you are not likely to address your logical access risks or security requirements. Effectively managing user access risk requires meaningful diligence above and beyond “checkbox” compliance. Achieving a sustainable level of transparency and risk management to protect against the very real security threats that exist inside the organization should be the target goal.
