Business of IT. Understanding Regulations and Compliance

RegulationsIn the last few years, governments worldwide have taken up the job of protecting consumers and companies against poor management of sensitive information.  Unfortunately, this has led to a steady stream of confusing laws and regulations coming from all directions. This confusion makes it hard for businesses to be within compliance. Not being within compliance can lead businesses into a tight spot. However, depending on the industry you are in, your organization may be use to regulations or completely new to them.

For example, the late 1990s and early 2000s ushered in the era of laws governing information security, privacy, and accountability. At the heart of most regulations is protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information that impacts a corporation’s stakeholders. Regulations and compliance are crucial.  Therefore we can distill down these laws to their essential goals:

  • Establish and implement controls
  • Maintain compliance issues
  • Protect compliance issues
  • Asses Compliance issues
  • Identify vulnerabilities and deviations
  • Remediate vulnerabilities and deviations
  • Provide reporting that can prove your organization’s compliance

Regulations and compliance are crucial.  Make sure you and your business manage to obtain them. Wahaya IT can help you with that.
