Enhancing Cybersecurity Through Compliance and Auditing: A Strategic Approach to Resilience

The paper will try to discuss how compliance forms an essential tool that helps organizations become more resilient in front of the growing number of cyber threats. The study also outlines some important compliance tasks: setting and following cybersecurity standards, frameworks, and regulations to defend digital assets and confidential information. It also details other methods in which compliance has extended its reach in the operations security, contract management, incident response, and internal cyber threat prevention areas, away from the traditional boundary. It also provides for the review of effectiveness in audit and ensuring adherence to the different compliance frameworks through systematic literature review, identification of gaps in current practices, and driving continuous improvement. It calls for a proactive and integrated approach towards compliance, emphasizing the required continuous adaptability in technologies and evolving threat landscapes. Finally, it concludes by emphasizing that these efforts can help develop a culture of awareness and preparedness for cyber security risks; hence, it points out the identified areas that can be worked upon by the researchers to further enhance cyber resilience.
