Building a risk-based compliance program

Compliance is no longer just an issue for the executive, legal and accounting teams to do deal with. It is now a daily concern for IT staffs, and more specifically, for the security staffs who must ensure that the servers, endpoints and mobile devices meet the standards set by dozens of regulations. As compliance has become more of an IT issue, the idea of basing a compliance program on a risk management approach has begun to gain a lot of momentum. A recent survey of business executives and IT professionals by Polivec Inc. showed that 73% of respondents believe risk analysis is an important basis for a compliance effort.
