established by
governmental
authorities and
regulatory bodies. |
|

Non-compliance: A Disaster in the Making
There's no denying it. Non-compliance comes with a high price.
| • |
Organizations lose $4 million in revenue due to one
non-compliance event. |
|
|
| • |
Non-compliance fines can range from $5000-$100000 per
month until resolved. |
|
|
| • |
In India, more than 400k companies got shut down due to
non-compliance. |
These numbers don’t lie. If they teach us anything, it’s that:
