How TrustNet Automates Compliance & Security for Enterprises: Reduce Risk & Cost

May 7, 2025 | Blog, Compliance, Managed Security, Network Security

Automation is revolutionizing PCI DSS compliance by reducing costs, minimizing human errors, and streamlining audit preparation. With evolving PCI DSS standards, manual compliance methods are inefficient and prone to gaps.  

TrustNet’s GhostWatch simplifies the process through features like real-time compliance tracking, automated evidence collection, and proactive risk management, empowering security and compliance teams to maintain continuous readiness while focusing on strategic goals. 

Manual compliance processes are costly, complex, and fail to keep up with increasing cyber threats. 

According to recent reports, today’s business priorities are shifting: 

    • 48% of leaders are investing in data protection  
    • 43% focusing on modernizing technology 

These statistics show the urgent need for agile enterprise network security and streamlined compliance strategies that can quickly adapt to new risks. 

The Solution: 

TrustNet delivers advanced automation and end-to-end solutions through its GhostWatch platform. GhostWatch streamlines compliance management, enhances cybersecurity defenses, and minimizes compliance risk, empowering organizations to operate securely and efficiently. 

This article will reveal how automation transforms compliance by reducing complexity, boosting efficiency, and cutting costs. Learn how TrustNet equips enterprises to meet compliance demands while maintaining a secure and agile network environment. 

The Real Cost of Manual Compliance and Security 

Manual compliance processes drain resources and expose organizations to significant vulnerabilities. These outdated approaches increase expenses, heighten risks, and potentially result in catastrophic consequences. 

Direct and Hidden Expenses 

    • Time wasted on repetitive tasks: Teams spend countless hours on manual data entry, audit preparation, and compliance reporting. 
    • Resource inefficiencies: Limited bandwidth forces staff to focus on administrative burdens instead of strategic priorities. 
    • Escalating costs: Delayed audits and reactive compliance measures inflate operational expenditures. 

Increased Risks 

    • Human errors: Manual data input and outdated workflows leave room for inaccuracies in compliance reporting. 
    • Regulatory gaps: Outdated systems can fail to detect evolving compliance requirements. 
    • Delayed detection: Threats such as financial crime or data breaches can escalate unnoticed, jeopardizing enterprise risk management frameworks. 

Real-World Example 

In October 2024, TD Bank agreed to a $3 billion settlement after pleading guilty to significant violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.  

Over nearly a decade, the bank ignored internal and regulatory warnings, leaving its AML programs stagnant and failing to detect over $670 million in illicit funds linked to criminal networks. A “flat cost paradigm” froze compliance budgets, limiting investments in monitoring tools and personnel, while some employees accepted bribes to facilitate money laundering. 

The consequences include federal monitoring, growth restrictions, and reputational damage. TD Bank has since committed to hiring 700 specialists and upgrading its AML systems, but the case highlights the severe risks of prioritizing profits over compliance. 

Why Automation Is Critical 

In a nutshell, automation eliminates manual errors, ensures continuous monitoring, and enhances regulatory oversight. Organizations can streamline processes, reduce costs, and proactively address compliance risk by investing in enterprise governance, risk, and compliance tools.
