Key Considerations for Implementing a Comprehensive Compliance Approach
Have I identified all constituents to be involved in compliance efforts?
Have I considered areas outside of the IT team and identified all lines of business that need to be involved in the data protection and compliance process (marketing, sales, operations, billing, customer support, etc.)?
Am I prepared to educate all departments regarding their compliance responsibilities?
Do I have a plan in place to ensure every business unit understands their compliance drivers and benchmarks? Will my compliance team be able to rely on line of business insights to identify hidden risk factors that could impact compliance success?
Do I have executive buy-in to move forward?
Are my higher-level executives on board with updating our risk management and compliance protocols? Are there additional approvals I need to secure or experts I need to engage with in order to build my case?
Am I ready to embrace a proactive stance?
Am I prepared to proactively address risk and regulatory compliance across the organization, rather than simply react to issues? Have I made it clear to all involved that security and compliance are not the same thing, but that the strategies must integrate?
Have I considered a plan for third-party vendors?
Will I be using third-party data centers, infrastructures or applications like SAS? If so, has my organization defined a solid third-party vendor management policy that incorporates least-privileged access?
