Compliance control is particularly important in the areas of cybercrime and cybersecurity, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as digital transformation. The term describes all measures and systems that companies use to ensure that they comply with laws, rules and internal regulations. The aim of compliance control is to prevent risks such as fines, reputational damage or even criminal offences.
In everyday life, this means, for example, that a company installs software that constantly checks whether all employees are using secure passwords and that no confidential data is being leaked. Plans can also be developed on how to react in the event of an emergency, such as a hacker attack.
Compliance control therefore ensures that everyone in the company adheres to the rules of the game. This keeps the company securely positioned, saves costs and protects its good reputation. Particularly in highly regulated sectors such as industry or sensitive customer data, a well-functioning compliance control system is indispensable.
