Most businesses face significant challenges managing risk effectively. Key issues include: 

• Lack of centralized, automated risk dashboards. 

• Teams remain blind to security gaps and slow to respond. 

• Vulnerabilities exist across multiple departments. 

• Increasingly sophisticated threats outpace manual defenses. 

• Manual compliance processes increase risk and delay response. 

• Inefficient workflows drive up costs and operational strain. 

Modern enterprises need more than checklists. They need scalable, automated compliance and enterprise network security solutions that respond in real-time. 

TrustNet delivers exactly that.

• Minimize compliance risk and breach exposure 

• Reduce security overhead across global networks 

The future of enterprise security is automated. TrustNet helps you lead it. 

The Real Cost of Manual Compliance and Security 

Manual compliance and security processes impose both direct and hidden costs on enterprises. Beyond the obvious expenses of labor and resources, organizations face significant risks that can lead to financial and reputational damage. 

Direct Costs

• Time Intensive: Manual audits, data entry, evidence collection, and audit preparation strain business resources.

   

• Redundancy & Delays: Manual processes often lead to miscommunication, duplicate efforts, and compliance fatigue.

   

• Human Errors: Manual processes are prone to mistakes, which can result in compliance violations and security vulnerabilities.

   

• Regulatory Blind Spots: Without automated tracking, organizations may miss updates to regulations, leading to non-compliance.

   

• Delayed Threat Detection: Manual monitoring slows response times, increasing breach impact.

Real-World Example 

In 2024, Providence Medical Institute faced a $240,000 fine from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after a ransomware breach exposed significant compliance gaps under HIPAA.

Automated compliance tools could have prevented these violations by enforcing access controls and managing business associate agreements (BAAs).

The Need for Automation

To mitigate these risks and costs, enterprises must adopt automated compliance and security solutions. Automation streamlines processes, reduces human error, and enhances the organization’s ability to respond to regulatory changes and security threats.
