Trust, Transparency, and Continuous Compliance
Empower Your Security Team with Continuous Control Monitoring
Cyber Compliance Needs a New Approach
Cyber compliance is more crucial than ever. Faced with ransomware, unpatched vulnerabilities, and regulatory pressures, today's CISOs are tasked with demonstrating effective cyber governance continuously. With internal resources stretched thin and IT environments growing more complex, 90% of security leaders report increased pressure to provide assurance on security controls. Traditional methods are insufficient for today's demands, pushing organizations to adopt automated controls monitoring.
Professionals from KPMG and Panaseer explore the current pressures facing security teams and how a new approach to assurance and compliance can transform ways of working.
In this paper, we explore three key challenges and how an automated, continuous approach to controls monitoring can enhance your cybersecurity operations.

1
Incomplete view of cyber controls and performance
You can’t protect what you can’t see. Today’s complex IT environments, with countless security tools in use across complicated organization structures, mean unknown hidden control gaps—leaving the business exposed to cybersecurity threats.
2
Regulatory and audit responsiveness
Increasing regulatory and audit demands mean security teams are having to face being “audit-ready” and able to rapidly produce reports from an overwhelming amount of data, demonstrating cyber governance, compliance, and industry leading-practice, without disrupting daily operations.
3
Fractured, point-in-time risk management
Prioritization of security operations by technical criticality alone is a one-dimensional approach to risk management, that doesn’t consider the priorities and risk appetite of the business. Without direct access to performance data, control owners are unable to take accountability for the impact on an organization’s risk management and security posture.
Our Viewpoint
Transform Your Cybersecurity with Continuous Control Monitoring
We understand the multifaceted challenges of cybersecurity today. In the past, organizations have concentrated on developing their risk and control frameworks, aligning them with organizational entities, and conducting assessments through GRC tools to gain insights into risk and compliance.
While this approach provides a level of insight, it may be an incomplete view of an organization’s cybersecurity risk and compliance posture. It provides only point-in-time insights that quickly become outdated and are not scalable with the evolving threat landscape and organizational changes.
Creating an effective CCM framework can be daunting—but the potential benefits of an automated approach are too significant to ignore. Extracting actionable insights from the data necessitates a well-designed framework. This involves establishing robust governance, creating a comprehensive data model, designing an effective solution architecture, and implementing seamless data integration and analysis processes.
Six Key Steps to Implement CCM:
- Define Overall Strategy and Governance Structure
- Establish a Comprehensive Data Model
- Design a Robust Solution Architecture
- Define Clear Processes and Workflows
- Define Response Strategies
- Implement Advanced Tools and Technology
