Whether you're an Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) or a member of a start-up or SME, you understand the crucial importance of every cybersecurity decision. To build an effective security strategy, it's essential to make the right choices about compliance and risk management.
It is now recognized that compliance is not just a matter for large companies; start-ups, SMEs and VSEs are also concerned. Any compliance approach includes effective risk management, and an integrated approach to compliance.
But how can we make the right choices? It's crucial to keep abreast of the trends likely to impact us over the next ten years, in terms of both risk and technology. Thomas de Mota, CEO of Feel Agile, will share with you the organizational and technological evolutions that will influence compliance management. This information will help you to adopt risk management approaches that are both simple and automated.
Towards greater adoption of the hybrid cloud
The current trend is strongly towards the use of cloud technologies, which are evolving rapidly while presenting increased complexity in terms of asset and risk management. Information systems are changing at a rapid pace, making traditional risk analyses increasingly unsustainable. In response to this dynamic, we are witnessing a shift towards risk analysis based on real-time security feedback.
It is also becoming essential to adopt systems enabling more agile asset feedback, and to integrate them with risk management. This integration improves the responsiveness and efficiency of risk management systems, enabling better adaptation to rapidly changing environments.
These trends are important, even if they alone are not enough to ensure an automated and sustainable approach, so the right strategy is essential.
It's crucial to understand that we're moving towards a compliance and risk management strategy that is viewed as a continuous process. Let's take a look at what it takes to ensure ongoing compliance and risk management.
Firstly, this ongoing management needs to be supported by a suite of secure cloud services. This is precisely the aim of solutions such as Google Cloud, Azure or AWS. These platforms offer services based on rigorous cybersecurity certifications, facilitating real-time security reporting and ongoing application security management.
Whether you're a start-up or an SME looking for cloud solutions, you can count on these services, designed to be secure from the outset.
The global security strategy will be supported by security integrator solutions that centralize risks, security measures, requirements and certifications, and provide real, coherent management of these elements.
When assessing the risks associated with a company, system or software, it is essential toanalyze potential incidents relating to availability, integrity, confidentiality and regulation. When an incident occurs, it makes sense to link it directly to an identified risk. Today's automated risk management systems make it possible to establish a direct relationship between incidents that have occurred and potential risks.
The management of each risk also relies on remediation measures, which include security audits or checks on existing security measures. It is crucial that your risk management system is able to flag up a missing or faulty security measure, thus escalating the information to the risk level and immediately indicating an increase in risk if the security measure is not operational.
The importance of having a system that ensures a continuous connection between security measures, security solutions in place, and risks is therefore obvious. Such a tool is essential for effective, real-time management of security risks.
Objectives of safety audits and controls :
Safety audits and controls are used to :
Current challenges: At present, many of these audits and controls are extremely time-consuming and costly. They are often carried out manually and depend on skills that are not always verifiable, relying on human intervention that can introduce vulnerabilities.
Modern solutions: continuous auditing and control: One response to these challenges is the adoption of continuous auditing and control solutions. Typical systems include :
These technologies make it possible to automate information system audits and controls. Although human verification remains necessary, these security controls can also be extended to more organizational processes.
Practical example: A system that manages the onboarding of new employees and secure access management systems could be implemented. This approach illustrates howautomation can enhance security while optimizing organizational processes.
One of the major benefits of automation lies in its ability to offer a more consistent and less redundant approach to compliance. Continuous auditing of security systems reduces the need for superfluous procedures. What's more, these regular checks provide valuable feedback not only to certifiers, but also to internal compliance teams.
A key element of future cybersecurity approaches lies in the convergence of cybersecurity, legal compliance and certification objectives. An advanced cybersecurity solution will offer advanced integration of these different components, including unified protection.
In the current context, whether in Europe or other regions, we are seeing a significant increase in regulation in key areas such as cybersecurity, personal data processing and artificial intelligence management. It will become progressively more difficult to meet all these regulatory requirements without the help of automation and an integrated system.
This situation represents a major risk for companies. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in heavy penalties.
Certifications are now essential for companies to enhance the value of their cybersecurity and compliance initiatives. Without automation and integration of your approach into an appropriate system, it will be difficult to maintain these certifications over the long term. What's more, the risk of becoming non-compliant increases over time. These certifications require the maintenance of extensive documentation, which can be simplified by using appropriate software to centralize all security information.
