Common Misconceptions About Compliance
Compliance is a One-Time Event: Many believe the job is done once they achieve compliance. However, compliance is an ongoing process. Regulations change, and your business must continually adapt to stay compliant.
Compliance Equals Security: While compliance often involves implementing specific security measures, being compliant does not necessarily mean you’re fully secure. Compliance should be part of a broader, more comprehensive security strategy.
Small Businesses Don’t Need to Comply: You may think compliance regulations apply only to large corporations. However, many regulations apply regardless of your company’s size.
Compliance is Expensive: While achieving compliance can involve some costs, it’s a good investment because the cost of non-compliance (such as fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust) can be much higher.
