Mastering Compliance in the Digital Age

As a CIO or CTO, you're not just managing applications—you're navigating a complex compliance landscape that can make or break your organisation. At Camwood, our 25 years of experience have shown us that true compliance goes far beyond simple application management. 

The Compliance Crisis: A Wake-Up Call 

Here are some concerning figures to consider:

40% of companies skip conducting yearly risk assessments.

On average, businesses now operate 1,061 different applications—an increase of 133 from the previous year.

This surge in application usage, coupled with inadequate risk management, sets the stage for compliance infractions and security vulnerabilities.

Beyond Security: The High Stakes of Non-Compliance  

The impact of ineffective application management reaches well beyond the IT department:

• Erosion of customer confidence
• Decreased revenue
• Harm to company reputation
• Hefty regulatory penalties

The Compliance Triad: GDPR, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus 

 To effectively manage this intricate environment, a comprehensive strategy is essential that extends beyond singular applications:

• GDPR: Safeguarding data across your whole application ecosystem
• ISO 27001: Establishing strong information security protocols
• Cyber Essentials Plus: Showcasing cybersecurity best practices to stakeholders

The Shadow IT Threat: Beyond Visible Applications   

Achieving genuine compliance necessitates a clear view of your full application environment, encompassing:

• Legacy applications dispersed across various departments
• Shadow IT applications managed outside of IT oversight
• End-of-life applications susceptible to cyber threats
