Summary
Regulatory requirements refer to the rules, guidelines, and standards set by regulatory bodies or government authorities that organizations and individuals must comply with to operate within a particular industry or jurisdiction. These requirements ensure the safety, legality, and fairness of activities, products, services, and processes. These standards are enforced by regulatory bodies to maintain industry integrity.
Regology offers an efficient approach to handling these requirements:
Automated Requirement Extraction: Pull requirements directly from authoritative documents.
Manual Requirement Creation: Customize requirements based on document content.
You can incorporate established requirements into your compliance program with appropriate controls and policies to manage them.
