What does 'Compliance Management' mean?

Managers plan, coordinate, regulate, and lead operations that assure compliance with laws and standards through compliance management. It is the process of continuously monitoring and evaluating systems to verify that they meet industry and security standards and corporate and regulatory policies and mandates. This entails assessing infrastructure to detect noncompliant systems due to regulatory, policy, or standard changes, misconfiguration, or other factors. Noncompliance can lead to penalties, security breaches, certification revocation, and other company consequences. Staying on top of compliance changes and updates keeps your business processes running smoothly and saves you money.
