Just because a platform is technically capable of achieving compliance, or the provider themselves are compliant, doesn’t mean that your environment is also aligned with standards like Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001

Why compliance shouldn’t be treated like an annual event

Compliance can be difficult, there’s no getting around that fact. After all of the hard work and effort put into getting a business compliant, passing an audit can give teams a feeling of being “done”, causing awareness to wane and attitudes less vigilant.

If compliance and security matter so much, why do businesses struggle with them?

If compliance and security are so important, why do so many businesses find them difficult? Unfortunately, knowing something is important, and actually being able to act on it, are two very different things.
