Why Are Cybersecurity Pros Struggling With Compliance?

Leave a Comment Filed Under: Cybersecurity-Regulatory

POV: Regulating AI: 3 experts explain why it's difficult to do and important to get right - Vital Record
  • Compliance with cybersecurity regulations is increasingly challenging for professionals due to the growing complexity and rapid evolution of industry standards.
  • Resource constraints, such as skills shortages and the continuous introduction of new regulations, exacerbate the burden of compliance.
  • Organizations can streamline compliance by adopting industry standards like ISO 27001, implementing automation, and fostering company-wide awareness and education.

As cybersecurity risks escalate and technology use expands, regulatory compliance has become a top priority for cybersecurity teams. However, keeping up with the fast-evolving legislative landscape is no easy task. Adhering to regulations like the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU AI Act is crucial to avoid significant fines. Still, cybersecurity teams are often overwhelmed and under pressure, making compliance a daunting challenge. Adopting industry standards can play a pivotal role in simplifying the compliance process.

Compliance is far from straightforward, as highlighted by a survey of 200 technology decision-makers conducted by Infosecurity Europe. Nearly half of the respondents admitted struggling to comply with cybersecurity legislation due to its complexity and the time-consuming nature of implementation. Regulations like the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and the EU Cybersecurity Act are particularly challenging, with many organizations failing to comply fully. The complexity and volume of regulations and constant changes and updates contribute to the growing burden on cybersecurity teams.

The dynamic threat landscape, the unauthorized use of consumer technology, and the ongoing cybersecurity skills gap compound the compliance challenges. Compliance is not a one-time effort but requires continuous attention from cybersecurity teams, who must stay on top of existing laws and new regulations. As a result, it’s easy for overburdened teams to miss or overlook crucial details.

To alleviate these challenges, organizations can streamline compliance by delegating tasks to dedicated professionals who are well-versed in regulatory requirements. Implementing consistent technical standards that meet multiple regulations can also simplify the process. Educating employees on the latest security and compliance trends and automating repeatable processes can help reduce the workload on cybersecurity teams and ensure compliance becomes a company-wide effort rather than just a security team responsibility.

Adopting globally recognized industry standards like ISO 27001 can further enhance an organization’s cybersecurity posture and regulatory compliance. These standards are easier to update and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to compliance, freeing up resources for cybersecurity teams and improving customer confidence. In a landscape where non-compliance is not an option, leveraging best practices, employee education, and automated tools provides a path forward for organizations to manage the growing burden of cybersecurity compliance.
