IT departments say they are being put under unreasonable
pressure by their companies when it comes to supporting regulatory
compliance, according to IT consultancy RussellJack
Technology.
A survey of 1,000 companies and found that most IT departments
are now being affected by compliance issues.
RussellJack Technology found that 43% of IT departments felt
they were “being put under unreasonable pressure by the business to
support compliance for compliance’s sake”.
They said IT performance was being sacrificed, and greater
pressure was being put on already stretched IT teams.
More than 50% of companies have had to invest in storage and
data management systems to solve compliance issues. The survey
found that the main complaint made was over the administrative
overheads and resources required by compliance.
In addition, 53% of respondents said advice and support on
compliance was lacking from IT suppliers, particularly when dealing
with industry specific needs.
