ENSURING REGULATORY CoMPLIANCE

Home

Cyber security compliance is all about conforming to rules; whether they are policies, standards or laws. However, the goal of cyber security compliance is difficult to achieve and maintain as cyber security regulations are often complex in nature and ever-changing.

In order to avoid considerable fines, keep your organisation’s data safe and demonstrate full transparency; regulatory compliance is something that businesses across all industries should strive for.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS ORGANISATIONS NEED TO MEET?

Cyber security regulations and standards that apply to your business will be directly dependent on the industry that you operate in. However, there are also several regulations that span industries and geographical boundaries, some of which are mandatory and others voluntary, and all of which are subject to change.

Some of the most notable cyber security regulations include:

  • Essential 8
    An Australian risk management framework comprising eight mitigation strategies to help form a baseline of protection.

  • International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO)
    A set of standards that act as a framework of best practices to help businesses improve their information security.

  • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
    A set of controls and balances to help operators of critical infrastructure manage cyber security risk.

  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
    A regulation aimed at improving privacy laws in Europe.

  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPPA)
    A regulation that enforces security to protect Personal Health Information (PHI).

  • Payment Card Industry
    Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) – A globally-recognised set of guidelines that govern how you should handle credit card information.`

WHY IS CYBER SECURITY COMPLIANCE SO IMPORTANT?

Rules and regulations aim to safeguard data and systems, as well as address privacy and security concerns, which means that complying makes sound business sense. By implementing the necessary programs and processes, you can reduce risk to both your organisation and your customers.

By showing that you care about protecting customer data, you can build upon your reputation and win more business. What’s more, while not all regulations are mandatory, those that are come with hefty fines for non-compliance.
