June 2024 Edition: How automation can make compliance less painful ??
In 2023, almost 70% of organizations said they need to demonstrate compliance or conformity to at least six frameworks spanning information security and data privacy taxonomies. In the same report, 60% of GRC users said they still manage compliance manually with spreadsheets.
That means collecting screenshots and documentation for evidence over and over for every audit, creating a risk register and asset inventory in spreadsheets and keeping those up-to-date, writing policies from scratch and ensuring they stay updated, tracking whether employees have accepted those policies and taken security awareness training at least annually, monitoring your controls over time to assess their effectiveness, manually scanning regulatory websites to track changes and assess the impact on your organization—?and these are only a few of the tasks you'll need to complete.
Compliance automation software can do a lot of this heavy lifting for you, saving hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on audit preparation and consultant fees.
In the 2023 Thomson Reuters Risk & Compliance Survey Report, almost two-thirds (65%) of corporate risk and compliance professionals said using technology to streamline and automate manual processes would help reduce the complexity and cost of risk and compliance.
This edition of Secureframe Insights focuses on the benefits and key uses cases for automation. See what they are. ??
