Compliance Operations
Compliance works better when someone runs it.
Most compliance programs are not badly designed. They are unattended.
22 takes ownership of the recurring operational work so the program you built still exists next quarter.
The hardest part of compliance isn't creating the first version. It's making sure the program still exists six months later.
The cadence
Recurring work with dates and owners.
Compliance calendar
An annual view of what is due, when, and who is responsible. Nothing depends on someone remembering.
Policy review cycles
Policies reviewed on a schedule, updated when the business changes, and approved with a record of it.
Risk reviews
The risk register revisited on a cadence, with treatment decisions documented as they are made.
Vendor reviews
A repeatable process for material vendors, so third-party risk is a routine rather than a scramble.
Control and access reviews
Periodic reviews where applicable, with evidence captured as the review happens.
Training coordination
Security and policy training scheduled, tracked, and evidenced without chasing people individually.
Remediation tracking
Open items with owners and dates, escalated when they stall rather than discovered during an audit.
Customer requirements
Contractual and customer-driven obligations tracked alongside framework requirements.
Executive reporting
A concise recurring view of status, priorities, risks, and blockers for leadership.
Common questions
What does compliance program management actually include?
We already have policies. Is that enough?
Who is accountable if something slips?
How much internal time does this take?
Put it on a cadence.
If your compliance program only moves when a customer pushes it, the schedule is being set by someone else.
