MetaCompliance: Effectively Managing & Communicating Policies

$0.00

Policies are critical to the organization as they establish boundaries of behavior for individuals, processes, relationships, and transactions providing a critical foundation for governance, risk management, and compliance. Policies are critical in establishing expected behavior so the organization can reliably achieve objectives, manage uncertainty, and act with integrity. Policies, properly communicated and enforced, are a critical foundation for defining and shaping corporate culture. With today’s complex business operations, global expansion, and the ever changing legal, regulatory, and compliance environments, a well-defined policy management and awareness program is vital to enable an organization to effectively develop, communicate, and maintain the wide gamut of policies it needs to govern with integrity. Haphazard department and document centric approaches for policy and training management of the past compound the problem and do not solve it.  It is time for organizations to provide a solid technology architecture to drive consistency and harmony across policy management, communication, training, and awareness. MetaCompliance is a GRC offering that GRC 20/20 has researched, evaluated, and reviewed with organizations that are using it in dynamic and distributed environments. MetaCompliance is an integrated policy management, awareness, and training platform which ensures that policies are understood and employees are engaged through a cloud-based portal that addresses the intersection of policy management and employee awareness. The solution facilitates employee engagement and access to policies and corresponding awareness training from any device (e.g., workstation, tablet, mobile). GRC 20/20 has interviewed and engaged several MetaCompliance clients and finds that the MetaCompliance offering has helped them keep up with policy management and awareness in a way that is efficient, effective, and agile.
