In the evolving regulatory world of IT and increased oversight pressures, organizations are always facing challenges to manage, control and comply with ever-increasing regulations that are thrown their way. At the same time, organizations have to focus on managing new and persistent risks to their business, while balancing the growth of their revenue and cost saving priorities for the business.
