DRI Webinar -- Beyond Compliance: Getting Real About Regulations -- Thursday, November 16, 2 PM ET
As more and more organizations have faced disruption from cyber, nature, supply chain, and other causes, there is an enhanced effort to uncover weaknesses that affect our ability to understand how we can prevent — or at least lessen the impacts of — these events. Combine this with the growing number of industry regulatory bodies and international regulations, and the task of maintaining compliance becomes even more daunting.
Organizations are becoming more proactive in assessing their programs and doing so in a more robust manner. This not only leads to them being more resilient but also reduces the effort associated with simply preparing for an audit. This webinar will examine how organizations are addressing regulatory compliance, which regulations they face, and how a pre-assessment program will help them be more resilient and improve their compliance.
Registration is now open for DRI’s next free webinar, “Beyond Compliance: Getting Real about Regulations” — Nov. 16 at 2:00 p.m. ET!
