How do we make compliance efficient?

Ops & Automation
Written By Shayne Adler

Efficiency comes from focus and automation. Start with a risk register. Standardize templates for policies, vendor reviews, and marketing approvals. Automate evidence capture from systems of record. Bake checks into code reviews and CI/CD. Keep one source of truth for controls, owners, and cadence.

Checklist

  1. Build a simple risk register.

  2. Template policies and approvals.

  3. Automate logs/training/backup proofs.

  4. Add pre-commit/CI checks.

  5. Track time-to-evidence.
