Frequently Asked Questions

Security validation reduces cyber risk by verifying that an organization’s cyber security program is effective at defending its critical assets against the latest threats. 

Without consistent validation, security teams can never be confident that security controls and processes are working as expected.

Due to the ever-changing threat landscape and IT infrastructure drift, security validation is a process that must be performed frequently.

Only by performing automated security validation can organizations obtain the insights they need to stay on top of their security posture and proactively identify and respond to risks sooner.

By continuously testing and helping to improve the effectiveness of security controls, the Picus Security Validation Platform helps organizations comply with a wide range of regulations and standards. 

Laws such as The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) state that organizations should have a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures. ISO-27001 and the PCI DSS and frameworks such as NIST 800-53 also have similar requirements.
