Compliance Is a Behavior: Why IT Must Show Up Daily for HIPAA, GxP, and NIST
In the world of compliance, it’s tempting to treat regulations like a checklist. HIPAA, GxP, and NIST all outline requirements – access control, encryption, logging, patching, documentation. It’s easy to assume that if you’ve ticked the boxes, you’re compliant.
