Establish Frameworks to Reduce Costs and Strengthen Security
Companies worldwide face a never-ending barrage of changing compliance requirements, such as ISO 27002. Many have ended up with compliance 'silos', with teams focused on meeting a specific requirement, without a broader view of the organization's compliance initiatives.
They have overlapping and redundant technology controls, policies and procedures; and waste resources on duplicated efforts in training, documentation, policy enforcement, management and auditing. The standards-based framework approach offers an alternative.
The result: A comprehensive security framework aligned to best-practice industry standards for security control such as ISO 27002, ITIL, CoBIT and COSO breaks down compliance silos to simplify compliance. It helps you more easily satisfy multiple compliance and security requirements through a consistent, holistic set of repeatable, scalable, enterprise-wide controls. This can transform the effectiveness and sustainability of your compliance processes, making it much easier and more cost-effective to meet immediate requirements, as well as those that you may face in the future. It also strengthens enterprise security overall.
Standards-based compliance frameworks help you:
- Identify your requirements for compliance and information risk management
- Pinpoint gaps in existing practices, and develop robust security policies
- Establish a proactive, end-to-end IT compliance program that provides more comprehensive IT security
- Apply scalable, flexible technology controls to meet multiple standards and regulations without duplication
- Eliminate redundant controls and ensure maximum leverage from your technology investments
Gartner estimates that a comprehensive, holistic approach to compliance results in an average reduction of 30% in the enterprise cost of compliance, with some enterprises seeing reductions as high as 70%.
