Anchor Advisory Can Help Businesses with Compliance Needs

Many San Francisco businesses are in the “compliance” area. For example, healthcare providers have many compliance requirements as do those in financial services. Many regulated businesses, or those doing business with the City and County of San Francisco, MUST have compliance audits and are subject to “compliance readiness” issues. Our experts can help.

A compliance readiness audit in San Francisco is a confirmation that an organization, meets the requirements of accepted practices, legislation, prescribed rules and regulations, specified standards, or the terms of a contract. In today’s world, it is becoming apparent that more and more businesses are realizing that they need to establish a formal compliance program so that they can be more confident that they are carrying out their legal and ethical responsibilities and that they are safeguarding their business, employees, customers, and shareholders against the risks and liabilities that can occur within their particular sector.

More And More Rules And Regulations

The problem is that it is becoming harder and harder to comply, because there are more and more rules and regulations. What you are doing today might have changed by tomorrow morning and whatever you were doing last year is probably no longer valid. The laws become ever more complex.

Furthermore, some of the terminology and jargon used is such that the average businessman’s eyes can glaze over before getting halfway down the first page of a regulation. It is very difficult to comply with something when you can’t even understand what it is that you are supposed to be doing or not doing. Here is just one example “US Federal agencies require NIST 800-171 compliance for protecting the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The CUI requirements within NIST 800-171 are directly linked to NIST 800-53 MODERATE baseline controls and are intended for use by federal agencies in contracts or other agreements established between those agencies and non-federal organizations”.

Or something. If you would like some light bedtime reading, you can download a pdf about it here: https://www.eventtracker.com/EventTracker/media/EventTracker/Files/Solution-Briefs/SolBrief-NIST-800-171.pdf. However, we quite understand if you would prefer not to.
