Achieve Cybersecurity Compliance with Arctic Wolf

Between staying ahead of cyber attacks, implementing the right technology, and staffing a security operations team, complying with increasingly complex regulations can feel out of reach for even the most skilled teams. That’s why you need the experts on your side.

Compliance Is a Moving Target

Is your organisation checking every box when it comes to compliance obligations? The complexity can feel overwhelming. Multiple frameworks and regulations must be considered, many of which have overlapping requirements.

Industry-Specific Legislation

Heavily regulated industries are a major target for cybercriminals. Financial, legal, healthcare, and governing institutions need to comply with stringent controls to limit access to private and sensitive data.

National and International Requirements

Governing bodies around the world have enacted numerous security privacy rules and guidelines including GDPR, ISO, and NIST frameworks that can be enforced with heavy financial penalties. Use our interactive compliance map below to understand these regulations.

UK-GDPR

Industry: All
Location: UK

UK-GDPR At A Glance

Taking place on January 31, 2020, the UK-GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) affects user privacy by placing limits on what organisations can with personal data. There are seven key principles of UK-GDPR that detail how user data can be handled.

UK-GDPR PRINCIPLES

Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
Purpose limitation
Data minimisation
Accuracy
Storage limitation
Integrity and confidentiality
Accountability

Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)

Industry: Banking
Location: United States and International

Sarbanes-Oxley Act At a Glance

SOX are expanded regulatory requirements governing all U.S. public companies, foreign companies with securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and public accounting firms. Its primary goal is to prevent fraudulent financial reporting and protect investors.

Top Compliance Requirements of SOX

Section 302 mandates that senior corporate officers personally certify in writing that the company’s financial statements “comply with SEC disclosure requirements and fairly present in all material aspects the operations and financial condition of the issuer.” Officers who sign off on financial statements that they know to be inaccurate are subject to criminal penalties, including prison terms.

Section 404 requires that management and auditors establish internal controls and reporting methods to ensure the adequacy of those controls. Some critics of the law have complained that the requirements in Section 404 can have a negative impact on publicly traded companies because it’s often expensive to establish and maintain the necessary internal controls.

Section 802 contains the three rules that affect recordkeeping. The first deals with destruction and falsification of records. The second strictly defines the retention period for storing records. The third rule outlines the specific business records that companies need to store, which includes electronic communications.

Analyse, prioritise, and manage vulnerabilities
Maintain, monitor, and analyse audit logs
Perform regular risk assessments to identify weak points in your security
