Security
Management Solutions for Compliance Officers
Organizations face a myriad of evolving regulations governing information protection, internal controls and endpoint risk management. Corporate compliance officers are tasked with the day-to-day management of policy or regulatory compliance, ensuring that issues within the organization are appropriately evaluated, investigated and resolved.
Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, PIPEDA, GLBA, CA SB1386, FISMA, PCI/CISP, EU, Basel II, NERC are all listed as regulations that require their compliance from a security perspective¹. These standards require different security measures and processes to be enforced around data protection and system integrity, and also require detailed audit trails that prove regulatory or policy compliance. While enterprises face mounting threats from external and inside forces, compliance officers must ensure that policies are established and enforced throughout the organization, in order to maintain system integrity and confidentiality of intellectual property, personal medical records, classified data, or financial information. Without the proper security management solution, compliance officers are not provided with the capabilities to effectively perform the duties of their job, such as:
- Identifying potential areas of compliance vulnerability and risk
- Developing and implementing corrective action plans for resolution of problematic issues
- Providing general guidance on how to avoid or deal with similar situations in the future
- Delivering reports on a regular basis to senior management and if necessary to external auditors
