Information security and compliance challenges have been trending the wrong way for decades.
That’s one reason why data protection rises higher on the agenda of institutions, governments and organisations across Europe year on year. The scale of the threat has expanded exponentially.
Our new Information Management research report found that (ITDMs) IT decision makers are experiencing frequent security and compliance breaches, with four in five reporting security issues in the last year. That’s despite spending more time on information security and compliance than before the pandemic.
It raises the question: have those involved in the daily task of protecting information and staying compliant across organisations been caught off guard?
In this article, we’ll look at the reasons why the role of the ITDM has become more difficult – and how automation will make it easier for ITDMs to manage information security and compliance.
