COMPLIANCE AS A SERVICES (CAAS)

Compliance Management

Compliance management is a design which is to protect business and its customer’s data and enhance value by nurturing a regulatory risk-aware culture. Compliance program supports the organization’s business objectives. At any security incident it helps to prepare how to respond quickly and appropriately to minimize the impact on the organization (and the community, as appropriate). Management should continuously improve its compliance program. Compliance objective at:

Accountability and integrity
Prevention of noncompliance
Protection (to the extent possible) from negative consequences
Preparation for when noncompliance occurs
And last but not least, improvement of the program to better prevent, protect, prepare, detect and respond to noncompliance

Features

Compliance is not a one-time event – organizations realize that they need to make it into a repeatable process, so that they can continue to sustain compliance with that regulation at a lower cost. When an organization is dealing with multiple regulations at the same time, a streamlined process of managing compliance with each of these initiatives is critical, or else, costs can spiral out of control and the risk of non-compliance increases.
