"IT and Security Pros Spend Over 4,000 Hours a Year on Compliance"

According to a new survey from the automation platform Drata, Information Technology (IT) and security professionals spend an annual average of 4,300 hours achieving or maintaining compliance. Drata surveyed 300 IT and security professionals in fast-growing organizations across the US and discovered that 87 percent of respondents have experienced the consequences of not having continuous compliance, such as slowed sales cycles, security breaches, business interruption, loss of business relationships, a damaged reputation, or fines. The majority of survey respondents indicated that increasing budgets and automating processes would improve their operations if they were able to address the issue of insufficient staff. Due to a lack of bandwidth or resources, 74 percent of respondents admit that there are vulnerabilities in their risk or security programs that are not being addressed or handled. This article continues to discuss key findings from Drata on compliance trends among IT and security professionals.
