Monitoring compliance, raising awareness of cyber risks, risk analysis and day-to-day management... Year after year, CISOs are given more and more responsibilities - a trend that is unfortunately set to continue with the forthcoming introduction of new regulations.
To the question: how can I manage my working time efficiently? The answer could lie in automating certain tasks, particularly those related to compliance.
A number of questions arise: is it possible toautomate certification management? To what extent? And how can the Tenacy platform simplify the implementation, maintenance and assessment of conformity? First things first.
Compliance automation: what are we talking about?
Automating compliance: a distant goal
Compliance is a process that affects all levels of the company, making the task even more complex.
As Baptiste David, Head Of Market Strategy at Tenacy, explains, "to date, there are no all-in-one compliance solutions on the market, where you can simply click a button to set everything up and be compl iant".
Meeting compliance requirements in an automated way can therefore prove particularly difficult.
While standard actions such as deploying and updating desktop protection solutions are now incorporated into compliance monitoring, this is not the case when it comes tointegrating the software environment of teams such as human resources or finance.
Faced with the goal of all-automation, let's not forget that compliance requires CISO analysis, including a reporting stage - an action that is still difficult to automate to this day. As Baptiste David points out, " although rapid progress in the field of generative artificial intelligence promises to support CISOs in these tasks, we are still a long way from being able to discuss technical issues with APIs ".
Finally, compliance monitoring requires regular action and cannot be fully automated.
But don't be discouraged! While automating compliance and maintaining it remains difficult, this is not the case withassessment, which has the advantage of being based on factual, quantified data.
Automated compliance measurement
While CISOs have traditionally based compliance assessments on their personal interpretation, it is now possible to use quantified data for a more objective measurement.
For example, in the face of NIS 2 requirements on malware protection, the installation of protection solutions on equipment becomes a quantifiable measure.
In this context, continuous assessment, based on concrete data, eliminates subjective bias and ensures dynamic monitoring of compliance. This approach is reinforced by the use of collaborative and project management tools that facilitate data collection and cybersecurity management.
tenacy a platform for automating your cyber compliance
Save time understanding regulatory texts
First good point: Tenacy analyzes and translates the most frequently used regulatory texts into concrete actions.
In practice, if you want to obtain ISO 27001 certification, the Tenacy platform clarifies the requirements and transforms them into concrete actions, such as the need for anti-virus software, the use of an SOC or regular security updates.
What's more, the tool enables users not only to check what they need to do to comply, but also to track their progress and ensure that the necessary actions are actually implemented. For example, if a company is already using an SOC, Tenacy adjusts its compliance score accordingly.
Take advantage of a catalog of policies compliance
The platform is also distinguished by its catalog of policies compliance, enabling CISOs to easily select those that best match their organization's needs. These include:
- ISO 27001 - international standard for information security management systems (ISMS), which defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an ISMS in an organization;
- PCI-DSS - a standard designed to secure card payment transactions by protecting cardholder data against fraud and information theft;
- EIOPA - regulatory framework for the insurance industry in Europe, designed to guarantee the solvency and financial stability of insurers to protect consumers;
- SOC2 (Service Organization Control 2) - audit report assessing security and confidentiality controls at technology service providers, for the protection of customer data;
- DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) - proposed EU regulation to strengthen the operational resilience of the financial sector to ICT-related risks.
Thus, a company needing to comply with both DORA and ISO 27001 can track and manage its compliance progress for both policies simultaneously from the Tenacy platform. This integrated approach eliminates the need to start from scratch for each new politique, streamlining the compliance process and enabling efficient, centralized tracking.
What's more, if your organization needs to track an ISSPTenacy enables the deployment and tracking of customizedpolicies , facilitating the import of requirements and corresponding security measures.
Centralize your data sources on one platform
CISOs can also easily connect security solutions to the Tenacy platform. For example, companies using Cybereason, Palo Alto Cortex, SentinelOne or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can easily connect these EDR solutions for a complete view of threat detection and response on endpoints.
For Active Directory instance security, Tenacy offers a native connector with PingCastle. Finally, for identity management, the platform partners natively with Google Workspace and Azure Active Directory. If you're using a solution that isn't listed, there's always the option of using the Tenacy API!
Whether consolidating security data, measuring compliance or monitoring security scores such as those provided by Microsoft Secure Scores, Tenacy offers a robust platform for effective, integrated cybersecurity management.
Create customized dashboards
The tool offers indicators specific to security policies, and automatically calculates your compliance score. This flexibility enables you to concentrate your efforts where human expertise is most valued, by automating repetitive, low-value-added tasks such as calculating statistics.
Tenacy allows you to get away from the sometimes chaotic Excel-based management and focus on results analysis and strategic decision-making.
