Most compliance solutions today are a patchwork of disparate policies, procedures and technologies. Establishing a framework that enables you to evaluate your level of compliance in a real-time fashion with robust auditing capabilities is extremely difficult. Our emphasis is on understanding how regulatory issues affect an organization, based on the organization’s unique business and operating environment. We call this “Compliance in Context”.
