Frequently asked questions

Ethics compliance software is a type of software or SaaS program that helps organisations ensure that they are adhering to ethical standards and regulations. It typically includes tools for monitoring and managing compliance-related activities, such as policy development, training, incident reporting, and auditing. Ethics compliance software is important because it helps organisations avoid legal and reputational risks, promotes ethical behaviour among employees and stakeholders, and demonstrates their commitment to ethical standards.

Choosing the right ethics compliance software for your organisation depends on a variety of factors, such as your industry, size, budget, and specific compliance needs. Some key features to look for when evaluating ethics compliance software include automated policy management and distribution, customisable compliance workflows, integrated training and awareness tools, real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities, and the ability to integrate with other systems and data sources. It's also important to consider factors such as vendor reputation, customer support, and data security when selecting an ethics compliance software provider.

Ethics compliance software can help organisations manage risks related to data privacy and cybersecurity in several ways. For example, it can provide tools for tracking and reporting on data privacy compliance activities, such as data inventory and classification, data access and sharing controls, and incident response planning. It can also help organisations stay up to date with evolving cybersecurity threats and regulations, by providing automated risk assessments, vulnerability scans, and threat intelligence feeds. Additionally, many ethics compliance software providers offer built-in data security features, such as encryption, access controls, and secure data storage, to help organisations protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorised access or breaches.
