Governance and Risk Compliance as a Service: An Insurance from the Unknown and Uncontrollable
‘The problem isn’t with what you know that you don’t know but what you NOT know you don’t know’
If this sounds complex, that’s precisely what compliance management is. However, in simple terms, compliance operations entitle periodic assessment to analyze whether current operations, assets, and IT systems are adherent to national, global laws and regulations or not. Often these regulations entitle security measures, data privacy and residency laws, resource/asset management regulations, financial policies, international standards commitments for a service, and more.
40 million dollars: Average financial impact due to non-compliance on a global scale
54% Security losses curtailed by companies deploying data governance solutions
20 million euros/2% of annual turnover, whichever higher: Fine imposed by a single GDPR violation
But, most organizations, especially SMEs, lack compliance-specific resources and are not aware of the ever-evolving national and global regulations and IT standards. Hence, with time, firms lag in due compliance and eventual remedial actions that could lead to drastic consequences.
Any loophole could make enterprises highly vulnerable to cyber-attacks and legal hassles, jeopardizing operational futures.
This is where Compliance-as-a-Service or Governance and Risk Compliance Consulting managed providers come in handy.
Is Compliance-as-a-Service Really Worth it?
Don’t think twice if your enterprise tick at least one of the below boxes
Escalating operations and management costs due to frequent regulation changes
Lack of general awareness on what to comply with and how to achieve the same
Lack of monitoring and visibility of IT infra health, deployed across multiple departments
Security teams are fatigued with alerts overload leading to a lack in 24/7 governance of implemented security solutions
Lack of dedicated cybersecurity, compliance and governance team overseeing all operations
Delayed enterprise expansion plans owing to IT legality and related concerns
Dataflow management, hosting, and transfer concerns across regions
Time-hungry, resource-intensive manual approaches to compliance and governance leading to frequent lapses
But, implementing compliance and governance individually isn’t easy. Such efforts could lead to upwards of 5 million dollars in expenses, excluding the unprecedented time and resource losses.
What Drives Up Enterprise Compliance Management Costs?
- Data protection and data management policy enforcements
- Frequent audits and assessments to realize the current compliance scenario
- Developing internal governance policies and compliance management processes
- Adequate hiring, upskilling of staff to manage compliance-related tasks
- Acquiring due regional, national, and international compliance and standard certifications
- Additional investments in security monitoring, governance technologies, and platforms
