Setting your own standard
Today’s regulatory environment is incredibly fractured and extensive. Depending on the industry—and the part of the world your business and/or security organization resides in—you may be subject to several regulatory compliance standards. Adding to the complexity, there is overlap among many of the standards, and they all require considerable resources to implement properly.
This can be a difficult endeavor, to say the least. That’s why many companies have dedicated compliance personnel to (as much as possible) push workloads and resources to adherence to cloud security standards. It’s important to build a plan to keep up with changing regulations and determine what exactly they mean for your environment.
From there, you can specify how to incorporate those changes and automate cloud posture management processes so you can act fast in the wake of an incident or breach. Deploying a cloud security posture management (CSPM) can ease the administrative burden associated with staying in compliance.
Complex compliance frameworks
There’s no reason to think your organization needs to go about all this compliance confusion on its own, even with skilled in-house personnel. There are regulations you’ll need to adhere to explicitly, but oftentimes regulatory bodies don’t offer a solution to track and enforce adherence to standards. It can be difficult to build that compliance framework from scratch.
That’s why it’s important to engage a CSPM tool that can be used to build in checks/compliance standards that align to one or more regulations—as noted above, it's often a combination of many. It's also likely you’ll want to supplement with additional checks not covered in the regulatory frameworks. A capable solution like cloud audit compliance automation
