Regulatory Compliance
The rise of the digital economy is one of the defining moments of the 21st century, wherein corporations and Government regulators have struggled to keep pace with the increasing changes in business practices, technologies, and new growth areas within industries. Given this dilemma, Compliance is becoming a huge challenge. For instance in financial industry, regulation and compliance continued and meeting all the requirements is a constant struggle to stay up to date.
An era where customers’ profiles, digital identities, general and sensitive data, inevitably exposes each company and its private data to different forms of cyber risk. This is where regulations and compliance come into play.
