Compliance programs must keep up with changing technology
Compliance is a moving target, especially when it comes to Sarbanes-Oxley and personal data protection. Technologies change, companies grow, systems evolve and compliance programs must take these changes into account to remain effective. It is important to remember that it is not the design of the compliance program that counts, but its ability to meet its overall goal, whether it's accuracy in financial reporting or protection of customers' personal information.
