The compliance crutch mentality rides on
21 May 2010I believe it was my colleague Kevin Bocek who once said: “Security done right will yield compliance for free. Compliance for compliance sake will always deliver more problems in the end.”
Why is it so many business leaders keep ignoring this reality?
It’s funny, I was just thinking about an article I co-authored for CSO Online with Charles Cresson Wood nearly a year ago entitled The Dangers of Over-Reliance on Compliance. Those of us in infosec circles know these dangers haven’t changed but management keeps on chugging along as if it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Maybe it doesn’t…?

Client Testimonials
“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
