Regulatory Compliance

Definition

The process of ensuring an organization follows all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards.

Overview

Regulatory compliance involves understanding applicable regulations, implementing controls to meet requirements, and demonstrating compliance through documentation and audits. Key regulations include GDPR (data privacy), SOX (financial controls), HIPAA (healthcare data), and industry-specific requirements. Automation helps ensure consistent application of compliance controls and provides documentation for auditors. Compliance failures can result in significant fines and reputational damage.

Why It Matters

Compliance failures carry consequences ranging from multimillion-dollar fines to criminal liability for executives. Beyond penalties, non-compliance erodes customer trust, triggers costly remediation projects, and can result in loss of operating licenses in regulated industries.
