Remain compliant

Compliance standards and regulations are something every enterprise must abide by and there’s a whole
alphabet soup of different kinds of industry-specific compliance regulations to be mindful of such as
HIPAA, GDPR, FINRA and JCI. As these set of standards evolve each year to adapt to the current threat
landscape, enterprises have a responsibility to remain up to date with the latest compliance standards.
Oftentimes, compliance violations occur following the sharing of unauthorized information on unsecure
messaging platforms. These violations could be detrimental to a company’s financial status, client
relationships and reputation.

These days, business leaders are aware of the growing frequency of data breaches and cyberattacks
and are concerned that they aren’t prepared enough to handle such situations. It is a team effort to secure
an entire organization but with these kinds of practices and defenses in place, the risk should be
extremely less.
