Frequently Asked Questions

Security requirements vary widely by industry and region. For example, the European Union requires certain security standards for financial services with DORA and more general rules under its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), while U.S. healthcare companies must abide by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Generally, organizations must be able to show they have policies that restrict access to sensitive information from within, can stop unauthorized access from outside, prevent internal movement should a data breach occur, and identify where their sensitive data resides.

Security compliance standards are frameworks that organizations construct to protect their sensitive data from threats, including cyberattackers, fraud, and abuse.

Most regulatory requirements for cybersecurity demand an assessment by auditors to demonstrate that an organization’s policies and practices live up to the standard.

There are a wide range of regulatory requirements that include cybersecurity protections as part of their standards. Some of the most well-known and widely required requirements include DORA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST 2.0, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX).
