Compliance Monitoring

Ensuring an organization adheres to security policies, regulations, and standards.

Understanding Compliance Monitoring

Organizations must track and document compliance efforts to avoid fines, data breaches, and reputational damage. Compliance monitoring involves real-time audits, automated reporting, and security controls to assess whether company policies meet regulatory requirements.

Key Areas of Compliance Monitoring

Regulatory Compliance – Adheres to industry and government regulations (e.g., HIPAA for healthcare, PCI-DSS for payment security).

Cybersecurity Compliance – Ensures IT security policies align with frameworks like NIST CSF and CIS Controls.

Internal Policy Compliance – Enforces corporate security policies, data retention rules, and employee training programs.

Common Applications of Compliance Monitoring

Risk Assessment & Audit Reports – Identifies gaps in security controls.
Data Protection & Privacy Laws – Ensures user data is handled securely.
Cloud Security Compliance – Tracks access logs, encryption standards, and authentication mechanisms.
