It just seems to me that that would facilitate compliance.

If we do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, that is the definition of insanity, as Albert Einstein said.

Should we not fundamentally rethink the model of voluntary compliance? Should security assessments be binding?

If I scored 30 percent on an exam, I would receive an F, a failing grade. Am I right to see a compliance rate of 30 percent as a failure?

The Federal Government must not only preach but also practice cybersecurity, it must lead by example.
