How to organise compliance management in a small business
When different people manage obligations without a shared view, it becomes difficult to see what needs attention. ISO 37301 addresses compliance management systems.
A conversation to begin
To start the conversation, relate your team’s responsibilities to the matters it reviews and the information it needs. Make time to consider lessons from past incidents.
Original preparation questions
- Who maintains an overall view of obligations?
- What information does management need to decide?
- How does an incident lead to an improvement?
