Continuous Compliance Monitoring vs Periodic Compliance Checks
Developers should learn and use Continuous Compliance Monitoring when building applications in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, or government, where adherence to standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS is critical meets developers should implement periodic compliance checks to mitigate risks, avoid legal penalties, and maintain trust in applications handling sensitive data. Here's our take.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
Developers should learn and use Continuous Compliance Monitoring when building applications in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, or government, where adherence to standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS is critical
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Continuous Compliance Monitoring when building applications in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, or government, where adherence to standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS is critical
Pros
- +It reduces the risk of non-compliance penalties by catching issues early in development, automating repetitive checks, and enabling faster deployments while maintaining security and legal requirements
- +Related to: devsecops, infrastructure-as-code
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Periodic Compliance Checks
Developers should implement Periodic Compliance Checks to mitigate risks, avoid legal penalties, and maintain trust in applications handling sensitive data
Pros
- +For example, in software development, this includes checking for GDPR compliance in data handling, PCI DSS standards in payment systems, or internal security policies in cloud deployments
- +Related to: regulatory-compliance, security-auditing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Continuous Compliance Monitoring if: You want it reduces the risk of non-compliance penalties by catching issues early in development, automating repetitive checks, and enabling faster deployments while maintaining security and legal requirements and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Periodic Compliance Checks if: You prioritize for example, in software development, this includes checking for gdpr compliance in data handling, pci dss standards in payment systems, or internal security policies in cloud deployments over what Continuous Compliance Monitoring offers.
