So much of modern life relies on trusting companies to manage their processes responsibly. As consumers, we expect that our interactions with commerce will include quality and safety measures for ourselves, our money, and our information. We eat at restaurants trusting that our health is safe, we put our money in banks trusting that our money is safe, and we conduct business on the internet trusting that our data is safe.
The commonality behind these examples (and many, many more) is compliance management. In other words, every business is trying to meet certain rules and maintain certain standards. Those rules may come from the government, industry standards, company brand standards, and even from consumers themselves. But whether the standard is low or high, there is virtually always a standard that a company is trying to meet.
Industry leaders are turning to quality management software (QMS) to gain better compliance management for several reasons. With a comprehensive QMS, virtually any company in any industry can manage all its operational and experiential data in one place, run reports in seconds, automate processes to save time, and gain a complete visibility into all channels.
When you use a robust QMS such as RizePoint, you also get a system that is flexible and customizable to your industry and your existing processes. It’s all about giving you the tools you need enhance your business, not forcing you to conform to a system that’s limited or too generalized to help.
As an example, PeopleMetrics recently posted about NIST 800-171 compliance, which is a system that helps the government and higher education manage and control “unclassified information in nonfederal information systems and organizations.” In other words, the government shares sensitive information with higher education institutions, and that information needs to be protected. The standards for NIST compliance has 14 categories and 109 separate controls, which is a lot of rules to track and assess across a large, multifaceted organization that deals with a constant influx of information.
PeopleMetrics suggested that RizePoint’s compliance management software solution is comprehensive enough to handle this complex and unique use case in ways that will help institutions stay compliant with ease while saving time and resources.
The article states, “Higher-education institutions can significantly reduce the cost and time associated with enforcing compliance by automating their own assessment of the NIST 800-171 controls. … Rizepoint’s platform automates the management of these controls, which significantly reduces resource requirements while improving the quality of the control.”
