Why Your Company Needs IT Compliance Services
Did you know that implementing a formal IT compliance process for your company saves small businesses like yours an average of $520,000 annually? This is according to a very informative joint survey conducted by Globalscape and the Ponemon Institute, though we have to admit that is not even half the story. The study went on to state that the cost of non-compliance is 2.71 times higher than the cost of compliance—a costly risk no business can afford to take.
Despite these alarming numbers, many companies delay implementing IT compliance standards. Even if they do implement them, they struggle to keep up with ever-evolving compliance requirements. This is where IT compliance services from CMIT Solutions can help.
What Is IT Compliance?
When we say IT compliance, we mean the regulations, standards, and best practices businesses and large corporations must follow to keep their data, digital communications, and IT infrastructure secure while staying clear of legal penalties and other liabilities. Most leaders intend to follow every regulatory rule to avoid violations and penalties, safeguard their clients’ trust, protect their own internal data, and maintain a strong reputation. But keeping up with evolving IT compliance requirements can feel overwhelming—especially when you are focused on growing your business.
Think about it: every piece of sensitive information your business handles must be protected:
- Customer records
- Employee data
- Financial transactions
- System access controls and authorizations
- Incident responses
- Third-party vendor compliance
Not having an IT compliance strategy for these and other concerns isn’t just a risk—it’s a liability.
Here are three reasons why your company needs to put something in place sooner rather than later.
- Protection against legal penalties — Small businesses must adhere to various regulations and standards to avoid legal penalties. IT compliance services ensure your business meets these requirements to protect you from fines and legal issues.
- Enhanced security — Compliance often involves implementing robust security measures to protect sensitive data. This helps safeguard your business from cyber threats and data breaches, which can be particularly devastating for small businesses.
- Building customer trust — Demonstrating compliance with industry standards can enhance your company’s reputation. In fact, customers are more likely to trust a business that takes data protection seriously. This can lead to increased customer loyalty and improved business growth from top to bottom.
