Considerations in Selection of a Compliance Management Solutions

[tabs style=”default”] [tab title=”Overview”]

Compliance is pervasive throughout organisations. There are many departments that manage compliance with a variety of approaches, requirements, and views into compliance. Because of the reach and impact of compliance initiatives, the decision to purchase compliance solutions can quickly evolve into an extensive process, involving dozens of stakeholders and requiring various approval procedures. Compliance professionals often find themselves having to explain the necessity and value of new compliance solutions — as well as combatting pressure to “make it work” with existing systems. This is further complicated by the variety of technology solutions available to manage compliance. Some are broad enterprise compliance platforms, while other compliance solutions focus on specific departments or compliance issues/obligation.

Whether for a department compliance management need, or to manage enterprise compliance across the organization, compliance management solutions are in demand. Recent RFP and inquiry trends that GRC 20/20 is involved with show a growing demand for compliance management solutions. There are several hundred solutions available in compliance management with varying capabilities and approaches.  Organizations need to clearly understand the breadth and depth of their requirements, map these into compliance solution capabilities, and understand that there is no one size fits all solution for compliance management no matter what solution providers may say. It has become a complex segment of the GRC market to navigate, understand, and find the solution(s) that are the perfect fit for your organization.

In this Research Briefing GRC 20/20 provides a framework for organizations evaluating or considering compliance management platforms and more focused compliance solutions.
