Compliance is a Program, Not a Project

The Golden Gate Bridge consists of 83,000 tonnes of steelwork, with main cables made up if 80,000 miles of spun galvanized steel wire. Currently there are 40 ironworkers and painters who battle wind, sea air and fog to repair corroding steel. Just as you finish one task, another one starts, or the task you just finished needs redoing again. The thing is though, if the maintenance program isn’t continued, and managed, the results could be catastrophic. Likewise, if we treat compliance programs as individual projects, or one-off tasks, corrosion of our overall security posture and our compliance status could easily occur. So, what we will consider as part of this presentation is:
  • Why compliance should be viewed as a program.
  • World view on regulatory compliance.
  • Synergies between compliance programs.
  • Developing a mature compliance program.
  • Impediments to success.
