Although they may seem like a considerable burden, regulatory compliance laws do provide benefits to organizations that meet their requirements. According to a recent study undertaken by CIO magazine, organizations that follow compliance guidelines suffer fewer security breaches and experience less down time of critical systems, meaning they suffer from a fraction of the typical financial loss events that occur on non-compliant networks.
Unfortunately, there is no technological solution that can bring an organization completely within compliance. Although each compliance regulation has it’s own unique notification and reporting requirements, an organization can achieve effective compliance through a combination of good IT policies and practices, as well as effective monitoring of everything that occurs within a network. This is true regardless of whether your organization falls under HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI or Gramm-Leach-Bliley regulations.
Through data and application aggregation, FireScope provides organizations with a single, comprehensive view to the current state and activities of all critical systems within an organization. This not only ensures you effective monitoring, but also simplifies audits by centralizing all compliance reporting into a single solution.
The extensive level of monitoring FireScope provides significantly increases the general security posture of your network as well as the availability of your critical business systems. As a result, FireScope pays for itself within a single quarter by reducing financial losses due to data theft and increasing productivity of critical applications.
Many organizations are embracing IT control frameworks such as ITIL and CoBIT to help achieve and maintain regulatory compliance. As part of FireScope’s inherent ability to adapt itself to the unique needs of your organization, FireScope can be configured to follow your chosen control framework and therefore improve the level of communication provided. This not only makes transitions to frameworks such as ITIL easier, but also helps organizations continue to follow these processes over the long term.
