This situation is not theoretical. Deploy repeatedly because organizations understand that point-in-time compliance testing cannot protect against vulnerabilities introduced after evaluation. According to the Verizons 2025 Data Breach Investigation Report, vulnerability exploitation rose 34% year-on-year. Compliance frameworks provide critical…
