A myriad of industry regulations and government legislation have introduced complexity to C-suite decision-making. Many of these executives will not know where to start nor are they aware of new and evolving risks (and if they apply to their organization).
As a result, business leaders are not clear about cyber security investment areas – both financially and using limited personnel. The opportunity for the CISO exists to lead the organization in aligning security programs with business objectives.
Compliance is often viewed as a reaction for organizations. The auditing of compliance becomes the event that is anticipated with resources and preparation aligned to culminate in the audit itself. A famous approach used in product development is that launch is a process, not an event.
The spirit of that message is important for security leaders to consider in building a sustainable business case for compliance. Compliance should be viewed as a continuous, organizational process.
