The starting point for any person who needs to manage their organisation through to accreditation against a Controls-based Compliance Policy, is to learn as much as they can.
Opt-Sec Compliance Systems will teach you about compliance and about your chosen policy at the same time that you are using them to gain certification.
You don’t have to learn about Compliance before you begin working towards it!
Why waste time reading confusing (and often contradictory) information, from a wide array of “helpful” sources, to learn about Compliance in general, or about the specific Policy you are aiming for.
All Opt-Sec Compliance Systems have been created in such a way that using them is an educative process. The tips, hints and explanations provided at each step, will simplify the compliance process, clarify exactly what is expected of you and will literally teach you the actions you need to take, as you work through it.
Almost every vendor you speak with, from IT monitoring systems to door locks, will tell you that their products will “make you compliant”. The reality is that certain attributes of some of their products will undoubtedly provide you with some aspects that will contribute to your overall compliance.
Opt-Sec Compliance Systems are designed to address EVERY ASPECT of your compliance and to help you to be compliant with every Control and Objective in your chosen Policy.
Using our systems to guide you through your compliance will help you to cut through the hype and marketing promises of all the compliance toting vendors and make your own decisions about what you do, and don’t, need.
Just like learning to drive, it’s very easy to get carried away with “Passing the Test” rather than actually focussing on how you are going to drive safely for the rest of your life.
Clearly, managing your organisation through to Compliance should be about making changes to the way everyone in your business works, and implementing permanent systems to improve your operations.
However, we cannot ignore the Audit.
Opt-Sec Compliance Systems will not only teach you about Compliance, they will also show you what the Auditor will be looking for so that you have the best possible chance to “pass the test” while you actually focus your energy on changing the company.
