Audit Findings Often Remain Unresolved for Years

Security audits reveal critical gaps, but remediation gets deprioritized. Old findings persist across multiple cycles, becoming long-term risks. Attackers exploit these ignored weaknesses before internal teams do.

Overlapping Frameworks Cause Control Conflicts

Companies juggling GDPR, SOC2, NIS2, and HIPAA face contradictions. A control that satisfies one regulation may violate another. Without a unified compliance map, teams apply inconsistent security measures.

Shadow IT Continues to Escape Audit Scope

Employees use unapproved apps for convenience — file sharing, messaging, automation. These tools operate outside formal reviews and risk assessments. As a result, compliance coverage is only partial and outdated.

Free, private email that puts your privacy first

Proton Mail’s free plan keeps your inbox private and secure—no ads, no data mining. Built by privacy experts, it gives you real protection with no strings attached.

Third-Party Subcontractors Introduce Silent Gaps

Vendors often subcontract further without full disclosure. These extended chains bypass your direct compliance controls. When data leaks, it’s unclear where responsibility lies.

Audit Trails Lack Integrity or Completeness

Logs are overwritten too quickly or not collected at all. Timestamps are unsynchronized, and log tampering is undetectable. This hinders forensics and undermines regulatory claims.

Policy Declarations Don’t Match Actual Risk Appetite

Companies publish strong-sounding security policies without operational follow-through. Stated zero-tolerance for breaches isn’t reflected in resourcing or tooling. Compliance becomes performative instead of protective.
