The 3 types of compliance management approach

Explore three common approaches to compliance management, from fully manual processes to disconnected COTS tools and an integrated ERP-style GRC platform.

Most organisations I’ve worked with in my 20+ years in the field fall into one of three categories when it comes to their compliance management approach. Take a look at the types below and see which one feels familiar.

Manual Compliance Management

This is the “old school” way. You’re handling 100% manual tasks. As you likely know, it is slow, prone to human error, and reporting is very time-consuming and lags by days or weeks.

Multiple commercial off-the-shelf compliance tools

You’ve invested in software, but because the different tools don’t talk to each other, you’re still stuck doing 50% of the work manually, especially reporting. It’s an improvement, but you’re still working for the software instead of the software working for you.

The ERP compliance management approach (ISOPro Software)

This is where the magic happens. With this approach, you integrate all your compliance needs — WHS, Quality, Environment, Risk, Training, suppliers and more — into a single, unified platform and drop manual tasks to just 1%.

No organisation would manage its finances on a pocket calculator or Excel: it’s too complex and too time-consuming. Compliance is the same. When your global compliance framework is spread across disconnected systems, manual administration increases, costs rise and information gets to stakeholders late.
