Ensure Regulatory Compliance

There is increased pressure to comply with industry regulations as well as state and federal regulations. Fines, penalties, lawsuits, investigations, and congressional hearings are just part of what a company suffers from if a security breach occurs and the company is out of compliance. The long-term impact is damage to the company's brand, or reputation, which sometimes never recovers.

• Confidentiality: Securing information and keeping it secret
• Integrity: Protecting information from tampering or theft
• Availability: Ensuring that information is available to authorized entities and not available to unauthorized entities
