With breaches to infrastructure resulting in fines, data loss, cyberattacks, penalties, and even lawsuits, it’s critical that every business ensures their infrastructure is protected at all times. That’s why we recommend implementing the best Security and Compliance management practices for your UAE business as soon as possible.

What is Security and Compliance?

Simply put, IT Security is the practice of implementing operational and effective technical controls in order to protect the assets within your business. Security specifically focuses its attention on identifying vulnerabilities, safeguarding data, maintaining the reliability of operations, and educating users.

Meanwhile, IT Compliance is a set of digital security practices which cover specific issues and require businesses to deploy defined infrastructures to protect your data. These must meet third party’s regulatory or contractual requirements. Doing so is particularly important in industries such as healthcare, finance, or energy, which face significant compliance regulations due to the nature of and data held by businesses within this sector.

IT Security and compliance can overlap, but they are both within their own category.

Setting up a new business IT infrastructure or have a complex one already? Cloud Technologies strongly recommend adhering to the best Security and Compliance management practices.
