Compliance is security in disguise.
I know what you might be thinking—but hear me out.
The primary goal of compliance is simple: to enforce due diligence and due care in security. Think of it as the laws that govern a country—without them, order collapses. Similarly, without compliance frameworks, security would be left to chance.
Why is this critical? Because the impact of security incidents is now too high to be ignored. Just as laws protect society, compliance rules aim to reduce harm by setting a baseline of protection.
Does compliance do its job perfectly? Not always. Some argue it’s a checkbox exercise. But here’s the thing—security risks are real, and compliance provides real benefits when aligned with genuine business and risk requirements.
So the real question is this
👉 Do you believe security compliance equals security?
