NYC area compliance expert highlights six common compliance mistakes that put organizations at risk, including ignorance of regulatory changes—in a new article from Messaging Architects
HOBOKEN, N.J., Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and compliance expert, published a new article warning organizations of costly compliance mistakes and offering solutions for avoiding them.
The author outlines six common mistakes organizations make when addressing compliance. These include mistakes such as failing to keep up with changing regulations and losing control of sensitive information.
For each compliance mistake, the author then offers suggested solutions.
"Achieving compliance in today's complex regulatory landscape can feel like negotiating a maze. However, when companies take proactive steps to address common compliance mistakes, compliance becomes an organic part of doing business," explained Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Navigating the Labyrinth: Top 6 Compliance Mistakes Organizations Make."
Ignorance is Not Bliss: Failing to Keep Up with Regulations
"GDPR initiated a cascade of regulations across the globe. New privacy laws and industry regulations appear on the scene every year, and governing bodies regularly make adjustments. If organizations neglect to stay on top of regulatory changes, they may mistakenly assume they are compliant. But pleading ignorance will not help them avoid penalties."
Wild Data: Underestimating the Power of Information Governance
"Legislation such as HIPAA requires retention of certain types of data. On the other hand, some privacy regulations grant individuals the right to access, correct, or request deletion of their data. To comply with these regulations, organizations must know where that information lives, how the company uses it, and who has access to it. Enter information governance."
The Human Factor: Overlooking Employee Training and Awareness
"Many compliance violations arise from human error. If individuals do not understand the rules and regulations that apply to their roles, they may unwittingly invite a data breach. For instance, employees may share sensitive information inappropriately or click a malicious link in a phishing email."
Unused Toolbox: Neglecting to Leverage Compliance Technology
"Invest in carefully chosen compliance technology to automate key tasks such as data collection and classification. AI-enhanced tools provide the ability to manage data at scale. They can also ease the process of analyzing data privacy laws and industry regulations to identify necessary changes to internal processes. Compliance monitoring also plays a critical role."
Compliance Experts
Achieving and maintaining compliance requires an investment of both budget and resources. However, the true costs of non-compliance can devastate the company's bottom line. And in today's business environment, organizations cannot afford to take the risk.
