As regulatory pressure accelerates, security and compliance leaders are being held to higher standards for proving control over privileged access—across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments. This infographic presents new research that exposes a growing compliance reality gap: while regulations demand least privilege and continuous oversight, many organizations still rely on standing access and manual audit processes that increase risk and slow audits. Designed for compliance, audit, security, and IT leaders, the findings highlight where privileged access practices break down, why audit readiness is at risk, and how modern privileged access controls built on Zero Standing Privilege and Just-in-Time access are helping organizations move from point-in-time compliance to a continuous, provable state
