We recently polled 313 IT professionals in the U.S. to understand how prepared organizations are to undergo compliance audits. We found that over half (59 percent) of all respondents feel unprepared. Some even feel they are facing an impending disaster. While IT is charged with keeping business processes smooth and secure, they have little control over all file movements across an organization and insight into operations. To help regain control over compliance requirements, IT should consider these five steps:
These five steps are easily completed with a robust, automated managed file transfer (MFT) solution. MFT provides transparent movement of files and strengthens related IT processes through scalability, reliability, failover, and disaster recovery. With the right MFT solution in place IT pros can rest easy knowing they can enforce governance when it comes to the transfer of sensitive information.
This will come as a relief for half of IT pros (46 percent) who would choose to have a root canal procedure, work over Christmas, live without electricity for a week, or eat a live jellyfish if it meant avoiding an audit. Without an MFT solution, companies run the risk of violating a growing number of statutes and regulations designed to protect sensitive data from being breached. Don’t let compliance haunt your dreams and find out how to successfully survive an audit here.
