One of the thornier challenges organizations face today is achieving compliance with a steadily increasing number of industry guidelines and government regulations. Every industry faces its own unique IT risks, requiring unique solutions. Symantec can help you assess your current compliance practice and readiness, offer recommendations, and provide assistance with implementation of controls and processes to satisfy compliance requirements.

Challenges

Compliance has become an integral part of most organizations’ business objectives and initiatives. Yet, many organizations have approached compliance as a one-time effort or on a per-regulation basis through independent task forces. Personnel manually aggregate information and asset status, address shortcomings, and pull together reports. Inconsistent processes across business units and geographies create fragmented efforts with many ways of testing, measuring, and reporting on the same controls. Such disjointed approaches are neither efficient nor cost-effective.

Solutions

To achieve sustainable compliance, organizations need to evolve their compliance efforts from ad-hoc projects to cost-effective and efficient processes that can be applied across various compliance initiatives. Symantec can help you address compliance from a strategic perspective.

Our consultants can assess your compliance posture by comparing your current IT controls with industry standards and identifying issues causing non-compliance. Based upon the risk assessment, gaps in the IT control structure can be closed by designing and implementing the necessary controls to create a secure, available, and resilient infrastructure. Symantec consultants can help you define and implement these controls and processes to increase compliance, and help ensure the security, availability, and integrity of corporate information.
