The Efficiency of Outsourcing Compliance
Outsourcing compliance can significantly reduce the administrative burden in both personal and business contexts, particularly regarding necessary regulations like GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. Compliance with these standards is essential for securing business deals, even though they aren’t the main focus of building a business. Automation tools, such as those offered by Vanta, can handle a substantial portion of the compliance workload, streamlining the process and preparing businesses for audits in a fraction of the time it usually takes. This outsourcing not only saves valuable time and resources but also allows business owners to concentrate on growth and innovation.
