every 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, TACO delivers alerts to inform you of any red flags in the compliance process and is a game-changer for South African organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Another significant advantage of the Obsidian TACO tool is that it automatically creates a report of everything that happened on the system to empower your security consultants with the knowledge they need to optimise your compliance and auditing.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it the obvious solution for your organisation\u2019s compliance needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/obsidian.co.za\/campaign\/taco\/?utm_source=MyBroadband&amp;utm_campaign=Obsidian_Systems&amp;utm_term=December_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Register now to use the TACO demo.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TACO elevates CIS Benchmarks by providing your organisation with a clear way to drive compliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341030,"featured_media":378602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28937],"tags":[27543,67878],"class_list":["post-378598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrynews","tag-amazon-web-services-aws","tag-obsidian-systems"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378598"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341030"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
