When it comes to protecting your business, where do you even begin with compliance and security? The process might seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At Workstreet, we simplify the journey, guiding you through every step of creating a strong compliance and security program tailored to your business.
A successful compliance and security program does more than protect your assets—it builds trust, ensures business continuity, and provides peace of mind as you grow. Let’s dive into the essentials of kickstarting your compliance and security journey.
Security vs. Compliance: What’s the Difference?
While compliance and security share a common goal—protecting your business—they address it from different angles:
• Compliance ensures your business adheres to established security and privacy laws, regulations, and best practices, meeting external standards.
• Security focuses on safeguarding your data and systems from theft, damage, and unauthorized access.
In short, compliance is about following the rules, while security is about creating a defense system for your business. Together, they lay the foundation for growth and resilience.
