Benefits of Security Scanning and Monitoring for Compliance Standards
Regularly performing security scans and continuous monitoring is a crucial aspect of any business’s security strategy. It helps organizations comply with various standards like NIST, PCI, HIPAA, and PII, while also mitigating security breaches.
Below are 3 examples of benefits regular security scanning and monitoring can provide for your business:
- Improved security posture
By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in your systems and networks, security scanning and monitoring can significantly enhance a your business’s security posture, thus lowering the likelihood of security breaches. - Enhanced compliance
Security scanning and monitoring can also help your business ensure compliance with various standards and regulations. For example, a healthcare organization must comply with HIPAA regulations to protect patient data. By regularly scanning and monitoring their systems, the organization can ensure that they are in compliance and avoid costly fines. - Cost savings
In the long term, security scanning and monitoring can prove to be cost-effective for businesses. If a breach occurs due to non-compliance with a specific standard, the business may be subject to legal fees and fines. However, by working to prevent such breaches, security scanning and monitoring can help your business save money.
The Capital One and Equifax data breaches are examples of security breaches resulting from non-compliance. In the Capital One data breach, hackers obtained personal information from over 100 million customers due to the company’s failure to comply with PCI standards. The Equifax data breach involved hackers accessing personal data from 147 million customers as a result of non-compliance with NIST standards. Both breaches could have been avoided if security scanning and monitoring had been implemented by the affected companies.
