Growing A Cloud-Native Company & Compliance Frustration
Customers expect cloud companies to be fully compliant, and so there really is no escaping the need to follow compliance regulations. Yet compliance can cause ongoing friction within a company, and this can have a detrimental impact on performance and progression. So, how can you maintain existing frameworks while nurturing growth?
Well, compliance tends to involve the members of your team who are most pressed for time. These individuals simply don’t have the time or resources to provide screenshots and evidence, for example, for compliance sign-off. And this in itself can hold back your business and key projects. Not only does compliance cost your company time, but time that could be better spent on other tasks such as digital marketing and data and analytics to increase sales. Plus, if you’re hoping to scale, unscalable compliance can quickly become not just a nuisance, but a full-fledged roadblock.
Cloud Compliance & Submitting Evidence
To improve cloud compliance and save companies a significant amount of time and money, we need to stem the flow of evidence distribution. By this, we mean stopping several members of your team from sending screenshots, documents, and evidence back and forth throughout your organization, which can be chaotic, to say the least.
Then siloed compliance projects also need to be addressed. Rather than create complex excel documents featuring hundreds of manual screenshots from HR, R&D, and DevOps, which then need to be updated and reviewed annually, why not automate this entire process?
InfoSec compliance certificates, such as SOC 2, are now a precondition to sales. And this is a fundamental part of offering a digital supply chain. Either you must accept it with love, or without, but either way, it’s essential. So, failing to streamline this key part of your business can mean losing out on future sales as well as running into issues in the future.
