ISO Compliance Manager

As a company expands, there will be more information and people to be managed. Many firms of growing sizes may consider applying for international standards such as the ISO. However, successful application does not come easy as it involves a great deal of time and cost to comply with the given regulations. Adopting the ISO Compliance Manager is a fast and easy way to operate according the requirements of a particular ISO standard.  It contains document libraries for storing all different categories of regulatory documents and files to build the necessary background, and to facilitate the management and execution of projects, tasks and other issues that are used for ensuring processes required to meet regulatory requirements are met by the compliance events documented.

Situation

Sam works in the I.T. Department of a HR Agency which targets to achieve ISO standard by the end of the year.

Challenges

• There are plenty of rules and regulations to comply with, making execution at department and personal level very difficult.
• Compliance with ISO standard requires solid track record which can be hardly retrieved without a system.
• Sam has to report from time to time the project progress to ensure that the standard can be achieved within the time frame given.

Solutions

• The ISO Compliance Manager helps Sam figure out how the rules can be complied with some I.T. settings. For instance, access rights of different staff can be restricted by synchronizing access rights with the positions in the company’s active directory.
• All the activities done by Sam and the general system users are logged and stored in the database, so that track record and evidence can be provided upon request.
• The ISO Compliance Manager can project a timeline for the whole project and gives Sam an overview of the stages they are in, and time left before completion, etc.
