In an increasingly digital world, information security compliance is more important than ever. Insufficient compliance can have severe consequences, from regulatory fines to loss of customer trust after a cyber attack. Even if you’re aligned with the appropriate frameworks, the traditional quarterly or annual audit timeline simply isn’t keeping pace with the speed of threats.

To avoid missing critical vulnerabilities, businesses are adopting continuous compliance, an ongoing monitoring process that alerts you to risk in real time. Another benefit of continuous compliance is that it creates a culture where security is top of mind in daily activities, not just during an audit.

The first step to achieving continuous compliance is building a common controls framework that allows you to map your controls to multiple frameworks or regulations at once and reduce redundant testing. Once you’ve completed this, implementing technology to automate monitoring is key so that your compliance becomes truly continuous.
