#1

Regulatory Fragmentation

Regulatory Compliance RED URGENT
77
ROI Score

Current State

Legal Asymmetry: Global regulations (like GDPR or APPI) are geographically fixed, while digital services are borderless, creating perpetual misalignment

Ideal State

Enables smooth international deployment, reduces legal exposure, accelerates go-live dates

Recommended Action

Implement automated solution for regulatory fragmentation

#2

Specialized Talent Gap

Talent Management RED HIGH
91
ROI Score

Current State

Skillset Silos: Traditional education separates software engineering from cybersecurity, leaving a gap in 'Security-by-Design' thinking at the foundational level

Ideal State

Increases dependency on external consultants, slows innovation cycles, creates knowledge bottlenecks

Recommended Action

Implement automated solution for specialized talent gap

Timeline
60 days
Effort Level
HIGH
Expected ROI
91/100
Resources Needed
#3

Legacy Infrastructure

Infrastructure RED HIGH
82
ROI Score

Current State

Fragmented Tech Stacks: Integrating unified security protocols across diverse client environments (Cloud vs. On-premise) creates technical silos that resist automation

Ideal State

Prevents scalable automation, reduces maintenance costs, limits standardization

Recommended Action

Implement automated solution for legacy infrastructure

Timeline
60 days
Effort Level

#4

Cultural Speed Gaps

Process Efficiency YELLOW MEDIUM
74
ROI Score

Current State

Development teams prioritize 'Time-to-Market' metrics, whereas compliance teams prioritize 'Risk Mitigation,' leading to divergent operational KPIs

Ideal State

Creates organizational friction, accelerates decision-making, reduces team morale

Recommended Action

Implement automated solution for cultural speed gaps

Timeline
90 days
Effort Level
MEDIUM
Expected ROI
74/100
Resources Needed
#5

Information Lag

Information Management RED HIGH
87
ROI Score

Current State

The speed at which global cyber threats and laws evolve often outpaces the update cycle of internal security policies

Ideal State

Exposes organization to compliance violations, reduces audit failures, damages client trust

Recommended Action

Implement automated solution for information lag

Timeline
60 days
Effort Level
HIGH
Expected ROI
