The Comprehensive Compliance Guide (Get Assessment Templates)

But regulations come in multiple different colors and shapes –
some are tailored to a specific vertical, while others are
industry-agnostic. Some bare explicit consequences for failing to
comply, while others have a more guidance-like nature.

The Comprehensive
Security Guide (download here)^[1], for the first time,
provides security executives with a single document that gathers
standardized and easy to use templates of all main compliance
frameworks: PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST Cyber Security Framework and
GDPR.

Employing an independent auditor is the common practice to
ensure one complies with the desired regulation.

However, before having an external auditor excavating through
the organizations’ security stack internals, it makes sense for the
security stakeholders to independently conduct a rough gap analysis
of their environment and the regulation they seek to comply
with.

The Comprehensive Compliance Guide saves security stakeholders
the time and trouble of building themselves such an evaluation
tool.

Instead of crafting a compliance matrix from scratch or
searching across the web for a free template, CISOs can now use the
guide to access a wide range of assessment templates
effortlessly.

While probably not all of them will be simultaneously used in a
single organization, there are good chances that every organization
will find at least one of them useful.

The Comprehensive
Compliance Guide^[2]
encloses assessment templates for the following regulations:

• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI
  DSS) — Information security standard for any organization
  that handles branded credit cards from the major card schemes.
  Proving that an organization complies with PCI-DSS is essential in
  shielding an organization from lawsuits that can arise in a breach
  scenario that entails the compromise of credit card data.

• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
  (HIPAA) — United States legislation that provides data
  privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical
  information. HIPAA standard applies to all organizations that
  operate within the healthcare ecosystem: hospitals, medical
  centers, and health insurance providers, a market segment that is
  subject to significant cyberattacks.

• NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF) — A policy
  framework of computer security guidance for how private sector
  organizations in the United States can assess and improve their
  ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks. NIST CSF
  applies to all organizations and is not confined to a certain
  vertical. While not a binding regulation in the strict sense of the
  term, NIST CSF is rapidly becoming the general industry
  cybersecurity common standard and in practice, serves as an
  indication that sound cybersecurity policies are implemented and
  practiced.
• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) —
  Regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all
  individual citizens of the European Union (EU) and the European
  Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the transfer of personal
  data outside the EU and EEA areas. GDPR applies to any organization
  that stores and processes EU citizens PII regardless if of its
  location. Failure to comply with GDPR results with fines that can
  reach 5% of the violating organization’s annual revenue.

The Comprehensive Compliance Guide enables CISOs to pull up their
sleeves and get to work immediately – map out the compliance
framework that fits them best and immediately launch an internal
assessment process that rapidly yields actionable and conclusive
insights on what’s working and what should be improved.
