On this live webinar we will discuss how the future of cybersecurity is a centralized platform which provides oversight of risks and vulnerabilities, plus governance that issues are being remediated.

Most organizations already have an ecosystem of cybersecurity point solutions to protect their attack surface. While these vital investments are needed to establish a strong cybersecurity posture, they come with their own set of challenges. Most notably, the fact that these disparate systems produce a dizzying amount of data lakes and insights. Even if some systems have incumbent analytics, or BI and machine learning (ML) capabilities to help you uncover issues, there’s no way to be certain that the issues identified will be remediated.

The May 25, 2018 compliance deadline for the EU GDPR has passed. How has the GDPR compliance landscape changed since our last 2017 benchmarking research report?

This research report benchmarks the compliance status of 600 US and EU companies and provides information as to their GDPR spend, favored compliance approaches, top compliance challenges and post-deadline needs, among other issues.

• Only 20% of companies have fully completed their GDPR implementations

• Companies are most compliant with updating policies and procedures and cookie consent management and least compliant with vendor risk management and international data transfer

• 50% of the companies will seek a GDPR compliance validation from an independent firm

With laws, regulations, and frameworks constantly changing, today's governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) landscape is shaping the way organizations make strategic decisions. GRC professionals, like yourself, are under increasing pressure to ensure their GRC program is operating effectively and holds actionable assurance processes.

In today’s business environment, onerous data compliance regulations weighing down under-resourced information management departments is an all-too-common reality. While these challenges can cause non-compliance, they certainly are not an excusable reason. With regulations becoming progressively stricter and fines for non-compliance increasing annually, the biggest costs come in the form of reputational damage, loss of revenue and customer trust, and business disruptions that can take years to recover from. This is why data managers today must work smarter to protect their organization’s assets by effectively and efficiently mitigating risks.

For the majority of organizations, compliance requirements are becoming increasingly complex and challenging to manage. With an ever-growing and ever-changing number of regulations, businesses are also finding the costs of staying compliant increasing. Every organization also faces the risk of failing to comply with its own internal corporate policies and controls, spanning multiple financial and operational systems.
