A key and driving component to securing a third party’s remote access into an organization’s network is regulatory compliance assurance. It’s an element that only continues to grow in focus and importance. Whether you’re a healthcare system concerned with HIPAA or HITECH compliance, a city government that needs to meet CJIS regulations, or a retailer adhering to PCI compliance, auditors across the board are all looking at third-party access and wanting the answers to a few key questions:
Often, the answers to these questions are, “We think so and are trying our best,” or “Yes, but it’s difficult and time-consuming to manage and gather documentation for our audits.” So, unsurprisingly, organizations are getting penalized for failing to meet these high-level requirements, while still spending an inordinate amount of time collecting logs and information from disparate sources in preparation for auditors.
To make matters worse, organizations are at risk for noncompliance because their third parties are not aware of their industry’s data breach reporting regulations. On average, more than half of organizations from the most recent Ponemon survey do not believe that their third parties are aware of their industry’s reporting requirements if a data breach were to occur; even if they were aware, only 44% of respondents believe their third parties are actually effective in achieving compliance with security and privacy regulations that affect their organization. Compliance is a non-negotiable for organizations, and the consequences that come with not meeting compliance standards highlight the importance of having a solution that ensures compliance and protects the organization – especially since reliance on third parties to do this is a risky strategy at best.
