In almost every category of business, companies are required to ensure network security and comply with government and industry regulations around access control and data retention. These requirements are handed down by federal and state governments, and many industry standards groups have their own sets of rules. In many cases, companies are compelled to follow several standards at once. These standards aren’t set in stone, though. They evolve every year, with new requirements and recommendations added to the mix. Just this year, HIPAA and PCI-DSS were expanded to include new regulations.
Evolving standards make compliance efforts difficult for companies that don’t have comprehensive and flexible security tools in place. This video discusses what features to look for in establishing and maintaining your company’s compliance solution.
