Where there are regulations, there must be compliance. Regulatory regimes exist for good reason, ensuring minimum standards and providing guidance on good operating practices. While some regulations have broad applicability – like the EU’s Generalised Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), others are narrower and apply to specific vertical industries, such as banking’s Sarbanes-Oxley or Anti Money Laundering provisions. Compliance is eased through an active software development industry providing tools that help organisations fulfil and report their obligations under the law.
