Achieving legal compliance with cybersecurity regulations

Faced with a growing number of cyber threats, many governments and industries have enacted regulations and standards designed to protect data, critical infrastructure and organizations large and small. A variety of regulatory frameworks today govern how organizations must secure customer data, manage cyber risk in the supply chain, adopt strong security controls and protect data privacy, among other objectives.

The rapidly changing nature of these threats means that regulatory frameworks are also constantly evolving, creating significant challenges for governance, risk and compliance (GRC) efforts. To ensure legal compliance with cybersecurity regulations, risk and security teams need powerful tools that can automate tasks and streamline the complex processes involved in security risk management.

Cybersixgill can help. Offering a suite of security compliance and risk solutions as part of an industry-leading threat intelligence platform, Cybersixgill delivers the tools that organizations need to achieve and demonstrate legal compliance while minimizing the burden on risk and security teams.

What legal compliance solutions must achieve

Legal compliance solutions help risk and security teams achieve certain objectives as their organizations develop a risk management strategy.

Reduce the burden of risk assessment

Every business must perform a formal risk assessment to ensure cybersecurity compliance and coverage. Risk assessments have become a requirement in many compliance regulations – for example, businesses are now required to perform a risk assessment to continue working within the U.S. supply chain. Legal compliance solutions can help to minimize the burden of these assessments by eliminating compliance silos, reducing security assessment control creep, minimizing headcount required for audit and security reporting, and extending the value of existing technology investments.

Demonstrate compliance

Organizations are often required to maintain complete records and reporting that prove to various regulatory bodies that the business is in compliance with regulations and mandates. Legal compliance solutions like continuous cyber security monitoring can provide the data and reporting required to demonstrate that the business is meeting compliance, regulatory and legal obligations.

Minimize costs

Many companies are overburdened or lack the expertise required to perform proper security assessments in a cost-efficient way. Security and risk teams need solutions that can help to reduce the cost of cyclical security and IT audits by automating processes and allowing teams with a limited headcount to keep up with the requirements of legal compliance.

Monitor supply chain risk

Many organizations struggle with the requirement to prove that their own security controls are valid and effective while also managing risk within the supply chain. Superior legal compliance solutions must simplify supply chain monitoring and third-party risk management.

Accelerate threat response

Ultimately, cybersecurity regulations are designed to protect organizations from the adverse effects of breaches and cyberattacks. As risk and security teams implement legal compliance solutions, they must look for technologies that can help to manage risk in a more proactive way to accelerate threat response mitigation and remediation.
