Use Case for Regulatory & Corporate Compliance Management

The Challenge
A robust risk and compliance program is essential for organizations to conduct business while
meeting regulatory compliance obligations. However, for many organizations, it is a constant
struggle to obtain accurate policy and compliance information. Scattered repositories of policies,standards and controls, along with ambiguities in how departments classify, implement andtrack policy and compliance data, make it nearly impossible to get a complete and accurate
view of the state of compliance across the organization.
Insufficient governance around operational procedures limits the ability of compliance managers
to connect controls to corporate policies. A common default approach for many organizations
is using basic desktop office tools not designed to perf orm this function. The lack of centralizedchange control results in ineffective, manual tracking of policies that fail to keep up to date withchanging business objectives.
The result of a limited policy and compliance framework is diminished understanding of policy
and compliance gaps within the business. This lack of visibility to critical policy and complianceissues often leads to inconsistent implementation of controls, lack of robust change control
processes, and duplicative policies and controls throughout the business. These critical gaps in
the ability to understand and meet regulatory obligations can lead to severe fines and penalties,
as well as damage to the organization’s brand and reputation.
