detection of trends. You gain the ability to take pro-
active steps to remediate and prevent minor issues
from becoming critical issues.
Ultimately, real-time analysis of compliance readi-
ness is the catalyst for creating a data-driven, fact-
based approach to an organization’s compliance in
the cloud program.
CTP’s Continuous Compliance
CTP’s Continuous Compliance delivers a holistic, pro-
gram-based approach to both technical and process
oriented compliance. With continuous assessments
of cloud environments run against key regulatory
frameworks like PCI, NIST and others, Continuous
Compliance delivers real-time data to your business
and to CTP to drive remediation programs forward.
As regulations and standards evolve, CTP identifies
those changes rapidly and adapts client policies to
remain in compliance. Clients benefit from reduced
risk of gaps in compliance, less time and fewer
resources required to constantly research and imple-
ment controls, and faster and less labor-intensive
audit preparation.
Instead of continually addressing urgent issues, your
development teams have more time to focus on the
work at hand. With the right tools (and the right
insights), they can be more productive and execute
more compliant software builds. You experience
fewer drills, tighter operational security and better
visibility into risks before they become critical issues.
Gaining Control
How do you get your cloud compliance under con-
trol? Here is a list of the priorities everyone should
consider:
• Continuously assess and monitor activities to
identify risks and potential sources of compli-
ance exposure
• Have a well understood process for remediation
of control failures and identified risks
• Take proactive steps to review cloud application
architectures and corresponding controls to
ensure compliance readiness
• Ensure that those responsible and accountable
for compliance and remediation within the
organization have access to real-time data
about control failures
• Regularly update your implementation of regu-
latory or IT control frameworks; the rules can
and do change
• Ensure compliance readiness is a key priority of
the CIO, CISO and business unit leaders, in
addition to audit staff
These are the key ingredients to a solution that puts
you in control of compliance in the cloud.
Continuous Compliance also enables more focused
and informed program-level oversight and gover-
nance to help you successfully steer your business
forward.
