Government compliance missteps have real-world impact
Every day, government agencies make vital decisions that affect communities. Compliance failures can waste taxpayer dollars, disrupt essential services and even put lives at risk. Here are just a few statistics on what these responsibilities impact.
-
+25.6%
increase in the yearly value of the cost of a data breach in the public sector industry.
-
16%
of the data breaches monitored in Public administration are due to collusion (multiple parties working in concert).
-
£29 M
out of £243 M only were recovered by the UK government from detected frauds in 2021.
Unraveling the challenges of government compliance
Government agencies face a unique set of obstacles when it comes to compliance. Even minor missteps can quickly escalate into major crises, damaging public trust, jeopardizing safety and disrupting vital services.

Protecting sensitive data in a hostile cyber landscape
Governments and government agencies hold classified information, citizen data and critical infrastructure access. These all make you a prime target for cyberattacks and data breaches.
- High-value target – Hackers and other malicious entities constantly seek to exploit government systems to steal data or cause disruption
- Legal ramifications – Failing to protect data can lead to legal action, serious damage to public trust and compromised national security
- Public scrutiny – Citizens are more aware than ever about data privacy risks, and they expect government agencies to do better
-
Make a launch
Federal, state, regional and agency-specific regulations change often. Working out your priorities can feel like trying to swim in quicksand.
- Frequent updates – You’re constantly bombarded by new laws, updates to existing regulations and complex interpretations
- Compliance penalties – Not keeping up means fines, public backlash and eroded trust
- Conflicting interpretations – Without clear documentation on requirements and policies, different departments may understand regulations differently
-
Gaining visibility into your extended network
Government agencies work with a wide network of contractors, often with variable compliance standards. This adds a whole new layer of risk.
- Due diligence complexities – You have limited resources to vet and monitor third parties operating across different regions, countries and operational areas
- Lack of visibility – You struggle to get a clear picture of how third parties are managing their own risk, hindering proactive compliance activities
- Inherited risk – If your vendors mess up, their compliance failures or ethical lapses could affect public trust and faith in government leadership
- Red tape – Government agencies must juggle additional layers of compliance within the procurement process itself, potentially slowing down operations
-
Finding the needle in a digital data haystack
Government collaboration and secure information sharing are crucial, but outdated government compliance tools and a ’need to know’ mindset slow everyone down.
- Compliance challenges – Silos and scattered data make it difficult to accurately identify critical assets and designate the right access limitations on sensitive info
- Inefficient coordination – Siloed operations lead to redundant work, piles of unnecessary paperwork and communication delays
- Security vulnerabilities – Inconsistent security across operations creates vulnerabilities, making it harder to protect your systems and data
- Lack of unity – Outdated systems make it impossible to sort out what’s important and what’s not, and to provide consistent info to auditors
