Why PJ Networks NOC Enhances IT Compliance & Governance

IT Compliance, Governance, Risk Management, Audit — these are confusing terms for businesses. But they don’t have to be. Compliance with the latest regulations governing your industry, as well as strong governance to stop breaches, is a task that seems never-ending. However, with a Network Operations Center (NOC), like PJ Networks’ Compliance-Ready NOC, the process becomes effortless.

Let’s have a look at how a well-managed NOC can enable businesses to stay compliant with little or no stress.

IT Compliance Challenges

Compliance is more than a checklist; it’s a vital element of keeping your business safe from cyber threats, legal issues, and operational blackouts. However, ensuring (and maintaining) compliance can be quite the headache. Here’s why:

• Ever-changing regulations: Laws and industry standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOX continuously evolve. Keeping up is tough.
• Security risks: Sensitive business information can be at risk from cyberattacks, data breaches, and internal threats.
• Audit complexities: IT audit preparation calls for adequate documentation, logging, security, etc.
• Limited expertise: Many companies lack the in-house expertise to manage compliance efficiently.

The challenge is to manage day-to-day IT operations while remaining compliant. This is where a Network Operations Center (NOC) really comes into the picture.

Role of a NOC in Governance

A NOC is so much more than a network monitoring center. It is an integral part of IT compliance and governance. Here’s how:

1. IT Monitoring & Security that Prevents Problems

• Continuous monitoring of networks for potential threats and compromised access before damage occurs.
• Alerts that help in preventing unexpected system failures.
• Patch management to update software and get systems patched.

2. Data Protection & Risk Management

• Conducting regular backup and recovery of critical data.
• Guard against unauthorized access and cyber threats.
• Multi-layered security protocols to preempt compliance risks.

3. Audit-Ready Logging & Reporting

• Audit logs for complete transparency of events and records for further authentication.
• Incident response documentation to show cybersecurity preparedness.
• Standard reports that companies may file during official audits.

4. Policy Enforcement & Governance Management

• Verifying that IT policies comply with industry standards.
• Implementing role-based access controls (RBAC) to restrict data access.
• IT governance framework alignment.

A good NOC takes the heavy lifting off your plate so that compliance is effortless. Precisely what PJ Networks NOC does.
