Following the rules doesn’t guarantee your systems and data will remain secure. Non-compliance puts your organization at greater risk of a data breach. The three most common conditions that can compromise a compliance program are the use and proliferation of so-called shadow IT (technologies that operate within the enterprise outside the purview of IT management); a failure to document compliance processes or enforce existing processes; and a lack of visibility into the means of collecting, managing, and storing data. The cost of non-compliance to businesses now runs an average of $14.8 million annually, according to a recent study.”]
