A program begins with an assessment of current obligations, gaps, and risk areas. We then draft policies, assign owners, and set up records management and training. The goal is to have a repeatable cycle of monitoring, updating, and reporting. Next, implement controls, conduct training, and establish a cadence for audits and updates. With ongoing leadership involvement and clear metrics, a program remains effective despite changing laws and shifting business needs.
