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.
