IT & SaaS
With the proliferation of cloud-based services and the increasing adoption of remote work, IT services, software, and SaaS face a growing number of cyber threats, making it essential to implement effective security measures. IT compliance frameworks, such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, and GDPR, are also crucial for organizations to adhere to regulatory requirements and protect customer data. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies is being leveraged to enhance cybersecurity capabilities and automate compliance processes. IT services, software, and SaaS industries are investing in cybersecurity and IT compliance measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
In today’s demanding and competitive marketplace, small and medium sized businesses are increasingly looking to reduce costs by leveraging SaaS providers. Given the trust user organization’s put into internal controls at SaaS providers, implementing a robust compliance program can be used as a competitive advantage.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Internet of Things (IoT) providers typically undergo cybersecurity and IT compliance initiatives. As the IoT becomes increasingly popular, proving to customers that they have a strong internal control environment is more important than ever. Implementing a robust compliance program can be used as a competitive advantage.
Cloud Computing
Companies are increasingly seeking cloud service providers to reduce costs in their own business. By running applications through the cloud, a company can eliminate the costs associated with buying, maintaining, and securing the hardware to run the applications while maximizing the application’s potential to store data on remote servers. With so much emphasis and reliance on controls at the cloud computing provider, implementing a robust compliance program is more important than ever.
Strengthening Cybersecurity at IT Companies & SaaS Providers
Increasingly, SaaS, Iot, and cloud service providers are asked to implement and maintain a compliance program that demonstrates their commitment to a strong system of internal controls. Control frameworks (such as SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) are widely accepted and help SaaS providers and IT companies differentiate themselves from their competitors by demonstrating their commitment to maintaining a strong IT compliance program.
