Compliance requirements for monitoring and logging pose significant challenges for organizations, as they are often not well understood by technical teams, leading to difficulties in compliance. Compliance programs aim to enhance security through standards or regulations, which include both technical controls, such as logging and monitoring software, and administrative controls, like policy and training. These programs are crucial for businesses across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and energy, and require a thorough understanding of associated regulations and frameworks such as PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR. The implementation of compliance measures often involves a risk assessment to determine the necessary level of control, while penalties for non-compliance can be substantial, incentivizing organizations to adhere to compliance schedules and audit requirements. Compliance frameworks, though high-level and non-prescriptive, are essential for guiding organizations in achieving compliance, and technical staff must engage with these frameworks to ensure the organization meets regulatory expectations.
