FireScope Comply Compliance Task Management
Compliance requires the support from other disciplines within IT, HR, Accounting and other departments. Unfortunately, these people have their own duties and are often over burdened. This tends to drive requests for information or verification from the compliance team to end up at the bottom of the stack. Additionally, we have a need to report effectively to leadership to increase executive sponsorship and buy in. Both of these lead us to the need to manage compliance at the tactical as well as strategic level.
Compliance professionals themselves have enough work to do, so the last thing they need to add to their plate is an extensive project management system to help them manage all of this work. As a result, FireScope has integrated the bare essentials of a project management system into an Audit Tasks feature. This feature enables users to create tasks related to specific compliance requirements, assign them to one or more users, and manage the progress of these tasks.
Creating an Audit Task is easy. Using the Audit Checklists described in the previous section, one or more related compliance controls are logically grouped together. Then, one or more of these audit checklists are assigned to an audit task and assigned to an active user account. The task itself is assigned a due date, and users receive email notifications of the tasks assigned to them and when it needs to be completed.
The creator of these tasks can review a dashboard of open tasks for an at-a-glance understanding of the status of each task, percent completed. Any past due items are highlighted in red to draw attention.
- Compliance requirements are communicated clearly, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of efforts.
- Tasks are distributed and managed more effectively, reducing the need for repeat requests.
- Results from these tasks are stored in an auditable log for easier access.
- Proactive management of compliance becomes achievable, lowering risk over the long-term.
