Challenge of Meeting Regulatory Standards for Government and Public Sector Agencies
Because of its role in creating and enforcing regulations, public sector compliance management is held to the highest standards of programme effectiveness. Many of these standards are specific to information management and security. The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requires all federal entities to have an agency-wide programme that ensures the security of its information inventory. The technology used to manage this information also has strict standards for government compliance. Frameworks such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), adopted by many government agencies, outlines critical infrastructures needed to remain resilient against cyber attacks.
Almost by definition, bureaucracy can be a thorn in the side of those tasked with maintaining government regulatory compliance. Swollen departments and red tape often stand in the way of identifying and collecting the necessary data for agencies to be audit-ready. This is where compliance monitoring software for governmental agencies provides programme administrators the ability to swiftly pull, manage and monitor the information critical to their compliance mandates.
