Compliance
Compliance ensures an organization adheres to legal, regulatory, and industry security standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. It involves implementing policies and controls to protect sensitive data, prevent legal risks, and maintain customer trust. Compliance defines baseline security measures but doesn’t guarantee overall cybersecurity effectiveness.
As a Security Compliance Officer at a multinational company, you recently conducted an audit and discovered multiple compliance violations that require immediate attention. Your primary responsibility is to identify and address these issues to ensure regulatory adherence. Each violation falls under a specific compliance-related category, and it is essential to classify them accurately. By doing so, you can implement corrective actions, mitigate risks, and enhance the company’s security posture. Your role involves assessing the severity of each issue, aligning them with relevant regulations, and ensuring compliance with industry standards to prevent legal consequences and strengthen the organization's overall security framework.
