There are internal compliance obligations and external compliance obligations. Let’s look at internal. First, we take time to write policies. In fact, 87% of companies have really strong records and information management policies. But we have to stop and understand if our employees are actually in compliance with those policies. They could be around email, privacy, secure destruction, it could be managing electronic content. We need to make sure that our employees are in fact managing that information according to the policies that we’ve written.

The second aspect of compliance are the external expectations that we are being given by regulatory bodies, by other authorities, by our shareholders, citizens, customers, the list goes on. And these are the kinds of compliance requirements that can carry pretty substantial fines or sanctions if we are out of compliance.
