High-risk cyber threats, devastating encryption incidents, shocking data breaches – these words have become a daily part of our news feeds. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that even more critical security risks remain undetected. Identifying and mitigating these risks is a complex and time-consuming process. As a result, too often, IT and security leaders have already lost control over the security of their company’s services.
The problem is further exacerbated by the adoption of cloud services. Companies delegate part of their IT responsibilities to cloud service providers while still remaining accountable for the security of their services and data.
Cloud service providers are generally expected to include compliance and security solutions as part of their cloud services. However, only a few premium cloud providers utilizing VMware platforms have the necessary tools for this. Even then, the implementation of these solutions typically remains the responsibility of the customer.
Furthermore, different industries and national regulations often require compliance with various standards and regulations, such as ISO27001, PCI-DSS, DORA, NIS2, and GDPR.
Therefore, for cloud environment compliance and audit purposes, security standards must be implemented as an integral part of governance, risk, and compliance frameworks. Undoubtedly, these are also best practices that all companies should follow.
