Compliance „in Process“
Compliance is nothing new for companies, but its importance is steadily on the rise. This can be attributed primarily to more stringent environmental regulations; a greater need for security to protect consumers, patients, employees, etc. and globalization. Within this framework, additional or stricter standards are being issued to limit the risks associated with a plethora of products and suppliers.

The article discusses also what options companies have at their disposal for integrating their compliance requirements into their day-today business.
