Compliance: a pressing reason to evolve your IT
Regulatory requirements - and the penalties for non-compliance - are driving many businesses to rethink their IT platform.
In every sector, there is a growing body of regulation and legislation to comply with, from universal requirements around data protection and security, to sector-specific issues such as anti-money laundering in financial services or call recording. The majority of these involve storing and managing electronic data more effectively, to provide an audit trail that shows procedures were correctly followed, or to maintain records for future analysis.
For many businesses, this is proving a significant challenge – not because they are in any way irresponsible or indulge in sharp practice, but simply because their data storage and retrieval systems are not sufficient.
As a result, organisations are having to rethink their approach to data management – and their IT platform as a whole. What data is archived and when? How can it be accessed in the future? And how can stricter controls be introduced on who can see it, edit it and use it?
The answers touch on a range of solutions, from pure storage to content management to reviewing user tools such as workstations and mobile devices and security policy to eliminate risks of data loss. But of course, investing in new solutions always comes at a cost.
At Network Interlinks, our focus is to help you adopt a proportionate approach to compliance. That means understanding the regulatory requirements you must meet, then identifying where your IT might present a compliance risk – and how great that risk is.
Based on that, we help you put in place compliance solutions that satisfy regulatory requirements but don’t break the bank.
