Description

This IDC Perspective discusses best practices for implementing adherence to compliance standards and provides an overview of the types of tools that support these efforts. Compliance standards are regulations, guidelines, or policies that organizations must follow to ensure legal, ethical, and operational integrity. There is a range of compliance standards, from those established by governmental regulations to standards set by industry bodies to those that support cybersecurity, ethics, and sustainability. Effectively implementing adherence to compliance standards requires a combination of technology, process automation, and employee engagement. Implementing adherence to compliance standards effectively requires a structured approach that ensures alignment with legal, regulatory, and industry requirements. "The right tools can streamline compliance management, reduce risks, and support regulatory adherence," says Erik Werson, adjunct research advisor, IT Executive Programs (IEP), IDC.
