Planning and communication are key to sustaining compliance program efforts.

Create a compliance roadmap Start with the end goals in mind and plan backwards to create an overall strategy and detailed plan for the organization to follow. Make compliance a priority Place it on the strategic agenda in leadership and departmental meetings and give it the focus and time it deserves. Foster compliance champions Create a committee of employees across the organization who understand and embrace the compliance strategy and will promote the cause to their peers.

It is a critical part of our business to ensure data security and it is something we strongly believe in and readily adopt. We have seen an overwhelmingly positive response to our network security strategies, which ensure the data of our clients and assignees is properly protected. —Suzanne King, UK

Compliance programs require planning and associate involvement.
