Context & Why It Matters
Compliance is not a project; it is an operating capability.
- Organisations that complete an ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS project frequently lose ground within 6–12 months as evidence ages, controls drift, people move and new regulations appear.
- Managed compliance — also called compliance-as-a-service or continuous compliance — retains a dedicated MAST team to run the day-to-day cycle so the programme never decays between audits.
