Make compliance and InfoSec a company-wide responsibility

The 2018 compliance playbook is dead

Back in 2018, compliance was all about getting GDPR-ready—fast. Many organisations took a centralised, checklist-driven approach, focusing on policies and documentation to meet regulatory deadlines.

But today’s threat landscape and compliance demands have changed. Cyberattacks, data breaches, and evolving regulations (like NIS2) mean compliance is no longer just about privacy—it’s about security too.

You can’t approach InfoSec and compliance like it’s 2018. Protecting your organisation requires an integrated, company-wide approach where privacy, security, and business operations work together to mitigate risks.

It’s time to move from a one-time compliance effort to an ongoing security and compliance culture. Here’s how to do it:

‍

Involve your co-workers for stronger security & compliance

When we start making information security and compliance a company-wide effort, we can also place a lot of the work in the hands of the people it actually belongs to.

Who knows best which systems are critical, where vulnerabilities exist, and what security measures are in place? The teams who work with these systems daily. Whether it’s personal data flows or infrastructure risks, your colleagues hold key insights into both compliance and security.

We need to start activating them, with security and compliance pro’s managing it.

Moving away from a centralised authority towards company-wide collaboration.

‍

Make good use of colleagues throughout the organisation

Marketing, HR, Sales—and IT security teams—hold critical insights into system usage, access control, and potential vulnerabilities. By involving them in compliance and security workflows, you gain:

— More accurate risk assessments and data security insights.

— Reduced admin work by distributing responsibility across teams.

— Stronger defenses against both compliance failures and cyber threats.

Built for teams beyond Compliance & Security

We went to lengths to create the most usable GRC software possible. Anyone can use it even as a first-time non-pro-user. In fact, it’s so easy to use we score 4.7 out of 5 on usability from our customers.

Reduce admin work by 25% and strengthen compliance & InfoSec

In most customer cases we reduce up to 25% of the time spent on admin work, when the organisation starts getting involved. By reducing admin work, your team has more time to focus on strengthening security defenses, responding to risks, and improving compliance readiness.

And by using Wired Relations data core, you can release even more time to do real work. What would 40% less time on admin work mean for your company's ability to protect data?
