Regulatory compliance and auditing skills

May acts and laws have been passed to govern cyberspaces in different regions of the world. At times, it is hard for organizations to determine whether they are compliant with all of them. For instance, there is a COPTA act in the US that bars organizations from collecting information of users under the age of 13. There are GDPR regulations being passed by the EU governing how organizations inform users about the ways they collect, process, share, and store personal data. Alongside these are many other regulations. Each comes with a set of consequences if not adhered to. The cybersecurity industry has therefore been welcoming to auditors that are more conversant with the rules of compliance to ensure that organizations are found to be fully compliant with all applicable regulations. Regulatory compliance and auditing training is normally focused on existing professionals in auditing. It may also appeal to beginners in cybersecurity, provided that they have taken a course in auditing.
