The author then outlines four key strategies to ease the compliance process, allowing companies to focus on core business processes. Organizations should leverage compliance technology, including automation, and provide appropriate training. They should also move from a reactive approach to a proactive strategy, prioritizing common compliance requirements.
“Everyone dreads the compliance process, but achieving compliance does not have to be agonizing,” explained Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. “By taking a proactive approach and using technology effectively, businesses roll compliance into regular business practices.”
Embrace Automation and Leverage Compliance Technology
“Compliance technology has come a long way in recent years, particularly in the areas of analytics and automation. For example, AI-enhanced tools can analyze huge, diverse data sets that include privacy laws, industry regulations, and internal policies. These tools ease the process of identifying relevant regulations and mapping internal processes accordingly.”

Invest in Training
“Compliance training should go hand in hand with security awareness training. For instance, employees need to understand how to safeguard sensitive information, including appropriate sharing and retention. They should also understand how to recognize and report potential cyber security threats such as phishing.”
Shift Modes from Reactive to Proactive
“To truly remove the pain from compliance efforts, organizations must move away from reactive mode and checkbox compliance. This will involve strengthening information governance and cyber security practices throughout the organization.”
Prioritize Common Compliance Requirements
“Facing a growing pile of compliance regulations can be overwhelming. But most regulations share several common elements. By building those common elements into information governance and security efforts, businesses stay ahead of the compliance game.”
Partner with Compliance Experts
To ease the process even more, many organizations choose to partner with compliance experts. Messaging Architects consultants deliver the tools and expertise to strengthen information governance and data security, automate many compliance tasks, and implement continuous compliance monitoring.
