What is Compliance?

Compliance is the requirement and ability for an organisation to act within a defined set of rules / specifications, whilst demanding alignment and evidence that your polices, procedures and subsequent activity meet the defined requirements. The standards for compliance will vary depending on sector / industry.

ISO9001
An international standard for quality management
ISO14001
An international standard for environmental management
TS16949
An international standard used in the Automotive Manufacturing sector
Federal Drugs Administration (FDA)
An international standard used in the manufacture of food, drugs and medicines
Care Quality Commission (CQC)
A standard used in the care and health sector
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
A standard used in the Financial Service sector

There are many more standards covering wider sectors and specific activities.

Compliance ensures a standard or specification is achieved at a consistent level, and requires proof/evidence that this is the case.

Organisations are regularly audited to ensure that they are operating to the defined standard, and have evidence and records to demonstrate this. Compliance provides assurance to the customer that you are able to meet the sector/industry standard consistently by operating within defined standard(s) for your chosen sector.
