This white paper explains that compliance alone does not ensure cybersecurity. Compliance is a point-in-time obligation, while security is an ongoing process of protecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Organizations often over-prioritize compliance budgets, neglecting true security, which leads to checkbox compliance and weak risk management. Experts recommend integrating compliance with security by using frameworks like CIS Controls, ISO 27001, and NIST. A unified Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) approach and collaboration between teams can bridge the gap. Tripwire solutions automate compliance and enhance security through monitoring, configuration, and vulnerability management.
