00:07.220 --> 00:08.720
Compliance reporting.

00:08.720 --> 00:14.300
Unlike vulnerability management, reporting is all about how it interacts with compliance, the regulatory

00:14.300 --> 00:19.340
or contractual agreements that we've made and how we're interacting with those different compliance

00:19.340 --> 00:21.230
standards that we set ourselves up for.

00:21.260 --> 00:25.700
Each company is going to be different when it comes to compliance and the industry standards that they

00:25.700 --> 00:26.900
have to deal with.

00:26.930 --> 00:32.360
For instance, telecommunication has to follow FCC guidelines, but not so much pci-dss.

00:32.390 --> 00:38.870
Whereas a financial institution is going to go into roll with PCI, DSS.

00:38.900 --> 00:43.970
Over, say, telecommunications standards, the aspect of understanding different compliance really

00:43.970 --> 00:49.250
interacts with the different availability within the compliance standards that your specific organization

00:49.250 --> 00:50.960
or industry falls under.

00:51.200 --> 00:53.060
Within that, we have industry standards.

00:53.060 --> 00:57.110
The industry standards for again, telecommunications is going to be vastly different than the industry

00:57.110 --> 01:02.870
standards for retail or for grocery stores or for even payment cards, right?

01:02.900 --> 01:05.330
For banking institutions or hospitals.

01:05.330 --> 01:09.110
All of these are different, and you need to be aware of those different compliance standards depending

01:09.110 --> 01:10.640
on the industry that you're working in.

01:10.670 --> 01:16.100
However, with that said, you should have an overarching understanding of each compliance standard

01:16.100 --> 01:19.340
for every industry that you may come in contact with.

01:19.550 --> 01:23.960
Uh, Sisa really comes into the fact of saying you need to have a high level understanding of the different

01:23.960 --> 01:26.510
compliance structures that you may be dealing with.

01:26.540 --> 01:32.840
You may work in healthcare and have a good understanding of HIPAA and some of the other health regulatory

01:32.840 --> 01:36.920
bodies that you have to fall under and know nothing about PCI, DSS.

01:36.950 --> 01:41.960
Don't go into Sisa thinking that because you have a good understanding of just HIPAA and no understanding

01:41.960 --> 01:44.120
of the other ones, that you're going to be okay.

01:44.150 --> 01:47.660
Uh, again, you don't need to be a master of these, but you do need to understand the different regulatory

01:47.660 --> 01:50.300
bodies that come into compliance reporting.

01:50.330 --> 01:54.980
Now, we've gone over those in past videos, but what does that mean for overall compliance reporting

01:54.980 --> 01:57.080
when it comes into your enterprise environment.

01:57.110 --> 01:59.420
There's industry standards that we need to be aware of.

01:59.450 --> 02:02.630
Industry standards are those standards set up for specific industries.

02:02.630 --> 02:06.230
They can be vastly different from, again, telecommunications to healthcare.

02:06.230 --> 02:08.810
And each standard is going to be slightly different.

02:08.810 --> 02:15.020
You may have a standard within telecommunications that says I need to encrypt data from the server to

02:15.050 --> 02:20.660
the client, but after that we're okay, whereas healthcare would be more I need to be encrypt server

02:20.660 --> 02:23.600
to server, transmission server at rest or excuse me, data at rest.

02:23.600 --> 02:30.460
Data transmit, and in some cases I didn't even need to use data at in use needs to be encrypted because

02:30.460 --> 02:34.420
you're dealing with healthcare and you have HIPAA and you have some other regulatory requirements.

02:34.420 --> 02:37.630
Those industry standards come into play at different levels.

02:37.630 --> 02:39.760
There's the legal aspect as well.

02:40.000 --> 02:45.010
Uh, you could have legal holds, which we've talked about in the past, but they could have legal consequences

02:45.010 --> 02:48.400
based on what your industry is going through.

02:48.460 --> 02:53.020
For instance, when I worked for a telecommunications company, we had to work on Sox audits.

02:53.020 --> 02:57.730
We had to go through, we had to barcode everything that barcode needed to align to that specific object,

02:57.730 --> 03:03.100
which we had to detail the manufacturer, the model, the serial number, the whole nine yards for Sox

03:03.100 --> 03:06.640
audits because it was part of the legal requirements set up for our industry.

03:06.670 --> 03:11.620
Now, Sox audits are pretty industry wide, meaning they're going past just telecommunications.

03:11.620 --> 03:16.060
They're usually in all industries, but the level that you may have to go through, depending on your

03:16.060 --> 03:20.350
technological skill or level of your industry, may be vastly different.

03:20.350 --> 03:23.200
Working in telecommunications, it was all over the place.

03:23.200 --> 03:24.730
It was literally everything that we did.

03:24.730 --> 03:30.160
We would almost, um, use an entire month just for Sox audit because we had so many tools that are

03:30.160 --> 03:32.350
going through or so many items that had to be scanned.

03:32.380 --> 03:38.830
There's contractual obligations as well Where those obligations need to go through and be met based

03:38.830 --> 03:40.510
on who you have a contract with.

03:40.540 --> 03:46.270
If you're using PCI, DSS, that's a contractual obligation, meaning that you have an obligation for

03:46.270 --> 03:51.610
encrypting different software or encrypting different data at different points throughout your system.

03:51.610 --> 03:56.440
And you need to be aware of those contractual agreements and obligations as it goes through.

03:56.440 --> 04:01.240
And you have to have compliance scanning and compliance reporting to say, yes, I'm meeting this compliance

04:01.240 --> 04:03.130
requirement or no, I'm not.

04:03.220 --> 04:05.200
There's the governance aspects of it.

04:05.200 --> 04:11.500
This could fall under ISO 2701 or NIST or other governance frameworks that you may be utilizing.

04:11.500 --> 04:13.570
And then of course, there's internal policies.

04:13.570 --> 04:17.800
It's not unnatural to have different policies based on where you work.

04:18.040 --> 04:22.390
I worked in three different telecommunications companies, and all three had different internal policies

04:22.390 --> 04:23.710
for the same item.

04:23.830 --> 04:25.060
It's not uncommon to do that.

04:25.060 --> 04:29.800
You need to be aware of those policies, and your contractual or compliance reporting needs to reflect

04:29.800 --> 04:32.050
those internal policies that you're utilizing.

04:32.050 --> 04:35.320
Sometimes those policies don't make sense That's not our job.

04:35.320 --> 04:39.790
Our job is to make sure that we're following those policies, make the argument later, but follow the

04:39.790 --> 04:40.990
policies now.

04:41.020 --> 04:45.610
And that's part of the compliance reporting aspect that we're going to be pushing out to our managerial

04:45.610 --> 04:47.500
or our leadership level.
