Resource and budget planning

Effective resource and budget planning is critical to meeting compliance objectives and ensuring that your organisation remains resilient and aligned with its strategic goals.

1. Assign key responsibilities for accountability and strategic alignment

Building a capable team begins with selecting the right expertise for the right roles.

Assigning specific responsibilities to team members with relevant skills—and securing buy-in from executive leadership - ensures the project receives high-level guidance and accountability throughout its lifecycle.

2. Allocate adequate resources to meet compliance and mitigate risks

You resource plan should include costs to cover additional personnel and administration, legal, and IT (eg for data governance, technical documentation, record-keeping and cyber security).

3. Ensure seamless system integration with existing compliance frameworks

Existing approaches to consider include:

Information security and risk management

Outsourcing and vendor management

GDPR compliance and other data governance management

A company’s code of conduct and ethics compliance
