Do you know your compliance management level?
Compliance standards can be overwhelming, but assessing your current security state and planning is key to meeting global regulations. With the right tools, NordLayer helps simplify the process, supporting your compliance journey.
NECESSITY
Why do you need to comply with security regulations?
Improve your data management know-how
In today's fast-changing regulatory landscape, it's crucial for your organization to stay up-to-date with the latest cybersecurity solutions. Many modern industries have to meet mandatory regulatory standards with measures such as encrypted network usage, resource management features, and access control tools like SSO, biometrics, 2FA, and user provisioning.
NordLayer offers a comprehensive suite of these solutions, continuously improved to meet the highest compliance standards and maximize efficiency. Our goal is to ensure your business and your customers' data in transit is safe, always.
Maintain your business reputation
Personal information should remain personal. That's why maintaining the privacy of your employees' or clients' private data is so crucial. NordLayer provides secure access to information and safeguards data traffic from external threats, preventing potential theft or leaks that could harm your reputation and financial performance.
Assure legal adherence & mitigate risks
Keeping up-to-date with compliance requirements relevant to your industry is essential to protecting your data effectively. Moreover, non-compliance can result in substantial costs. Be mindful of the following common compliance regulations and standards:
- European General Data Protection Act (GDPR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
- International Standard to Manage Information Security (ISO 27001)
- System and Organization Controls Standard (SOC 2)
MANAGEMENT TRIGGERS
The challenges of security compliance control
Evolving security environments
Security threats are fast to change, which requires an active response from organizations to combat new threat levels and address key issues.
Distributed workforce & endpoints
Network infrastructures are becoming more dispersed as employees move towards hybrid and remote setups. Tracking and managing all of these endpoints is a challenge for any organization.
Larger teams
Coordination of teams and infrastructures across a larger working environment increases the complexity of compliance management. Larger teams mean more difficult access control, which makes meeting compliance requirements harder.
Multi-country presence
Regardless of their size & industry, many businesses today have employees spread across multiple countries. And some countries might have varying regulations, making compliance management a real challenge.
Manual processes
In the past, spreadsheets, file shares, and documents were the only tools available to manage compliance. However, these tools cannot keep up with constantly changing industry regulations, and updating them manually takes a lot of time.
