Presenting: Brian Fish & Dorian J. Cougias. Moderator: Brandon Dunlap.
Abstract: Mounting regulations across the globe have increased the cost and burden on organizations. The high cost is especially felt by organizations which must adhere to multiple requirements - 75 percent of organizations must comply with two or more regulations and corresponding audits and more than 40 percent must comply with three or more regulations *. Audit preparation typically occurs in functional silos, with different project teams focused on addressing an individual compliance initiative, resulting in significant operational inefficiencies and higher costs to demonstrate compliance. This webinar will examine the Unified Compliance Framework and how it can be leveraged to harmonize controls across multiple regulations such as PCI, SOX, HIPAA, NERC and many others. And you will learn how to eliminate overlapping control requirements and ensure a more efficient and less costly approach to compliance.
