For years, every time a regulation was introduced, Chief Information Security Officers(CISOs) faced a complex and resource-intensive process. They had to review regulatory requirements, secure funding, and recruit or allocate a dedicated compliance officer or consultant to prepare the organization for compliance by conducting a gap analysis.

Following this gap analysis, the CISO was required to secure an additional budget to implement recommendations, engage the compliance manager or consultant further, and sometimes even purchase additional security products to close the gaps. Meanwhile, the consultant had to break down the regulatory gaps. This process—understanding new regulations, conducting a gap analysis, and translating findings into actionable tasks—often takes months, if not years, to complete.

OmniSec: A Paradigm Shift inCompliance Management

OmniSec, the virtual CISO, introduces a game-changing approach to managing compliance. Its power lies in its ability to process regulatory requirements in their original language, analyse them against an organisation’s existing security infrastructure, and automatically generate a tailored gap analysis.

For instance, OmniSec assesses various security products and configurations within the organization—such as firewalls, endpoint and server protection tools, identity and access management(IAM) solutions, and data loss prevention (DLP) systems. By doing so, it identifies gaps and produces a structured compliance gap analysis tailored to regulatory needs. Once the gap analysis is completed,OmniSec assigns tasks to the relevant stakeholders based on a cyclical process and the severity of each compliance issue to ensure efficient resolution.

Key Compliance Areas Covered by OmniSec:

Users:

• Have cybersecurity training sessions been deployed,  and can task completion be tracked?
• Have specific users violated cybersecurity policies?
• Are users adhering to both regulatory requirements and organizational security policies?

Applications:

• Have all applications undergone a vulnerability assessment?
• Is there a structured and time-bound process for vulnerability remediation?
• Is there an assigned application security owner responsible for handling incidents?

Supply Chain:

Many organizations rely on hundreds, if not thousands, of suppliers:

• Are all suppliers meeting regulatory requirements?
• If not, what compliance gaps exist within their processes?
• What are the deadlines for suppliers to achieve compliance?

The Future of Compliance Management

Organizations across various industries—including government agencies, financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and publicly traded enterprises—invest significant time and resources in understanding regulatory requirements and conducting gap analyses to ensure compliance.

Smaller organizations with just a few hundred users are also required to meet strict regulatory requirements.OmniSec bridges the gap by enabling them to interpret regulations in their original language, generate an actionable compliance roadmap, and manage assigned tasks across different functions until full compliance is achieved.

This is the power ofOmniSec—revolutionizing the way organizations handle regulatory compliance and making it a seamless, structured, and automated process.
