What Is Compliance awareness?

Recognize the rules, obligations, restrictions, and required controls that apply to a particular activity or environment.

Why Does Compliance awareness Matter?

Compliance awareness matters before a breach occurs. Knowing which requirements apply helps a person avoid treating legal, regulatory, contractual, or organizational rules as optional details.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying compliance awareness may:

  • checks which policy, regulation, or standard governs a task
  • recognizes when a normal workflow has crossed into a regulated or restricted area
  • asks for clarification when an obligation is unclear instead of guessing

How to Develop Compliance awareness

You can develop it by:

  • identify the key rules governing one task you perform
  • turn a policy document into a short list of actions and prohibited actions
  • review a previous compliance issue and identify the point at which the requirement should have been recognized
