The Hidden Compliance Tax: Why Organizations Fail When They Treat Certifications as Projects Instead of Products (F12a)

This session examines how high-performing organizations adopt a product mindset for compliance, integrating security controls, evidence collection, automation, and continuous monitoring into everyday operations. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for transforming compliance from a periodic burden into a sustainable capability that supports long-term certification success.
