A compliance program is a structured set of policies, procedures, and controls designed to ensure a company follows applicable laws and internal standards. It typically covers areas such as data privacy, financial controls, and workplace conduct. The goal is to prevent violations before they occur and to provide a roadmap for consistent decision-making. Implementing a robust program helps build trust with regulators, customers, and partners.
