Cyber Liability Sentry™

Compliance Isn’t a Risk
to Your Business…

It’s non-compliance you need to worry about.

The condition is Compliance Creep™ – the quiet drift between what you attested to and what’s actually true. This is how we catch it before an insurer or an auditor does.

Being out of compliance – or being unable to prove you were in compliance – that’s where substantial financial risks lurk. You may be called on to prove on-going compliance as part of an insurance claim or to defend your business in the face of a regulatory audit.

Can you? Are you willing to bet the business on it?

If your policy or policy application says you test staff for phishing risk monthly, but the last real test was three months ago, you’re out of compliance – and a cyber insurance claim tied to that gap can be denied. If a departing property manager reports that tenant applications with Social Security numbers were sitting unencrypted on a shared drive, you could face regulatory fines, damaged tenant trust, and a hit to your reputation that follows you into the next lease-up.

These aren’t edge cases. They’re two of the most common ways CRE owners and operators fall out of compliance without realizing it until the moment it matters most.

Regulations don’t hold still, and neither does your environment. Compliance Creep, as coined by ProtectMyIT, is when a control that was accurate at renewal has become quietly stale by the next incident. The question isn’t whether you were compliant once. It’s whether you can prove you still are.

ProtectMyIT’s Cyber Liability Sentry keeps that proof current, on an ongoing basis:

  • Compliance monitoring
  • Testing products and services for compliance issues
  • Continuous compliance risk assessment
  • Coaching and mentoring for your team
  • Periodic regulatory compliance due diligence
  • Automated compliance analytics and reporting

Buying, selling, or refinancing a property? A transaction calls for a different kind of review – a fixed, point-in-time check of what’s connected to that specific asset. See Cyber Encumbrance Assessment.

ProtectMyIT helps CRE organizations fully and continuously comply with the regulations that apply to them – information security, data privacy, and communication compliance – mitigating the risk of unplanned issues and unplanned expenditures, including the fines that follow when compliance can’t be proven.
