Equalising the benefits of compliance and cybersecurity.
Equalizing the benefits of security compliance and cybersecurity, requires an understanding of the differences between the two.
​
Security compliance refers to the process of adhering to regulatory and industry standards, such as GDPR, ISO or PCI DSS, to ensure that an organization's systems and data are secure and protected from breaches. Compliance is often a requirement for doing business, particularly in regulated industries.
On the other hand, cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems and networks from attacks, unauthorized access, and data theft. It involves a range of tactics, such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, and incident response.
To equalize the benefits of security compliance and cybersecurity, an organization can take the following steps:
-
Use cybersecurity best practices as the foundation for compliance. By implementing strong cybersecurity measures, an organization can not only meet regulatory requirements, but also enhance their overall security posture.
-
Conduct regular risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize security measures. By understanding their unique risks, an organization can better allocate resources to the areas that need it the most.
-
Invest in security technologies that are both compliant and effective. This includes technologies such as endpoint protection, data loss prevention, and encryption.
-
Train employees on cybersecurity best practices, such as how to recognize phishing emails or how to securely handle sensitive data. This will help to ensure that compliance measures are being followed and that the organization is less vulnerable to cyberattacks.
-
Continuously monitor and update security measures. Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving in 2023 and are expected to double by 2025 - whilst 43% of these attacks are aimed at small businesses, so it is important to regularly review and update security measures to ensure they are effective.
By taking these steps, an organisation can create a security strategy that balances compliance requirements with effective cybersecurity measures. This can help to protect the organisation from data breaches and other cyber threats, whilst also meeting regulatory requirements.
