Compliance: Complex or just smart choice?

Compliance: Complex or just smart choice?

Many organizations see compliance as a complicated puzzle. With standards such as ISO 27001, NEN 7510, BIO2, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 it sometimes seems like navigating through a forest of rules. But is it really that complex? Not if you're smart about it.

Why compliance doesn't have to be complex

Compliance is not about blindly following standards, but about making strategic choices that fit your organization. The secret? Focus on what is relevant and leave the rest (for now).

7 steps to make compliance easy

  • Start with your core business: What risks are associated with your activities?
  • Customer and market expectations: What demands are customers or partners already making now, or expecting soon?
  • Legal obligations: Are there any standards that are mandatory or highly recommended?
  • Risk profile: Which standard helps make your risks manageable?
  • Internal maturity: What policies, processes and documentation are already in place?
  • Capacity and budget: Sometimes it is wiser not to choose a standard (yet).
  • Vision for the future: Where does your organization want to go? Think ahead.
My tip: Not every standard delivers value. Wanting too much at once can lead to unnecessary complexity and cost. Focused choice is at least as important as compliance.
