1.6 Achievable benefits for being compliant
How do organizations benefit from compliance with corporate security policies?
Corporate security policies and controls are established to enforce consistent
rules that centrally secure access to IT resources across the organization. This
also provides consistency in compliance with general business rules. Enforcing
and maintaining strong passwords, for example, can make it more difficult for
malicious users to access protected data.
Corporate auditors check for consistency in compliancy to corporate policies and
look for deviations by individual users. Auditors are always looking for artifacts to
prove that users are compliant. These can be used when the enterprise is being
legally challenged by government regulators.
The following list spells out some tangible benefits to the organization:
Increased accuracy of security compliance reporting
Reduced effort and costs in data collection and report generation
Timeliness of report generation and artifacts as required during security
audits
A consistent approach to security compliance reporting across geographically
dispersed organizations
