Implement Best Practices for Better Results

Compliance is no longer a choice, it’s a necessity. Businesses are also facing an ever-increasing number of compliance requirements. These requirements come from various sources, including government regulations, industry standards, and customer expectations.

The most common IT regulations include:

  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—A regulation in the European Union that protects the privacy of individual’s personal data
  • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)—A set of security standards for organizations that process credit card payments
  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)—A law in the United States that protects the privacy and security of patient health information
  • Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)—A U.S. law that requires public companies to maintain accurate financial records and internal controls
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)—A law that regulates the U.S. financial services industry and protects the privacy of consumers’ financial information
  • Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA—This Canadian law protects the privacy of individual’s personal information
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)—This law gives consumers more control over their personal information
  • SEC new cybersecurity regulations—These regulations are designed to improve the cybersecurity posture of public companies and registered investment advisers

In addition, there are a number of security frameworks that organizations you do business with may expect you to adhere to. Two common ones are:

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework—Developed by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it provides guidance on how to improve cybersecurity.
  • ISO/IEC 27001— This international standard provides requirements for an information security management system (ISMS).

Compliance is essential for businesses because it helps to protect your data, customers, and reputation. It can also help to reduce the risk of fines and penalties.
