The face of cybersecurity keeps changing. No organization has ever seen such an unparalleled rise in the number of regulatory requirements set upon it-from the federal level to state-level requirements, the web of cybersecurity regulation has grown to be challenging to navigate for any business. While increased compliance policies require companies to go through the complex maze of policies and frameworks designed in a better direction to protect customer data and secure digital assets, today’s article will point out some prevailing regulatory trends while showing how Sennovate experience will facilitate the implementation of the obligations required by authorities without too much stress for your organization.
The Growing Regulatory Burden
The unprecedented rise in the number of cyber threats, data breaches, and ransomware attacks compelled governments and regulatory bodies to establish strict laws related to cybersecurity. New regulations such as the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act, revised guidelines by the NIST, and broader enforcement of GDPR raised the compliance bar even higher. This is furthered by industry-specific mandates, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act for healthcare and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for finance, which drove organizations to implement better security measures.
Besides that, various states of the US have enacted their independent legislation on privacy; for instance, California passed the CCPA, or California Consumer Privacy Act, while Virginia passed the Consumer Data Protection Act. That such laws are divided across various jurisdictions makes compliance even more complicated.
Challenges Faced by Organizations
Navigating these expanding regulations presents several challenges for businesses:
- Overlapping Regulations: Too many layers of regulations can be daunting for an organization to comply with. Most come with varying demands on data protection, incident response, and reporting, which more often than not leads to duplicate efforts and operational overhead.
- Evolving Standards: The standards set by regulatory bodies are not static; they keep changing with emerging threats. In this regard, organizations with fewer resources will find it very challenging just to keep pace with recent changes and updates in cybersecurity law.
- High Costs of Non-Compliance: Financial and reputational risks are the biggest costs of non-compliance. Breach of regulations leads to heavy fines, legal liabilities, and loss of brand reputation in popular cases where data breaches are reported with regulatory failure.
- Integration within Business Operations: Meeting the balance between compliance and business efficiency in operations is a huge challenge. Organizations need to implement security controls without disrupting their workflows or customer experience.
