Like most organisations, you’re most likely managing the compliance standards of the third-party contractors you hire via manual means. Whether you’re using spreadsheets, project management programs or a traditional filing system, ensuring that everyone on your books maintains industry best practice can be a challenge – to say the least!
In-house compliance management, often tasked to administrative staff, faces a number of specific challenges:
If an organisation develops its own compliance management framework, there will often be limited resources allocated for its ongoing development and maintenance. Besides the lack of maintenance, compliance management frameworks are often built with limited expert input from relevant third parties (such as regulatory bodies or independent consultants).
In addition, internally developed frameworks and assessment methods can contain hidden risks, not accounting for important details of the regulatory environment and contractor specific compliance requirements. With constantly-changing laws and regulations, it’s also easy for assessments – and the methods for doing so – to get out of date.
All of the aforementioned challenges have contributed to a new trend of organisations seeking compliance automation platforms and expert partners to help them manage those programs.
