Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Business and financial integrity, privacy, information security, business continuity, and homeland security all place significant regulatory demands on organizations. Faced with the challenge of meeting multiple sets of requirements from regulators and business partners, organizations are confused about how to approach compliance management. To succeed in compliance management, organizations need to have a defined strategy about how to integrate compliance into the organization. Successful compliance management involves: 1) accountability — understanding that executive management and the board are ultimately accountable for compliance; 2) governance — establishing a culture of compliance in the organization; 3) responsibility — appointing someone to be in charge of compliance management; 4) understanding — identifying what the regulators are looking for; 5) architecture — developing a compliance control architecture; and 6) validation — verification that controls are in place and functioning properly.
