Episode 81 — Align IT processes with legal and regulatory compliance objectives every time (Task 36)
This episode explains how to align IT processes with legal and regulatory compliance objectives so compliance is predictable and repeatable, not dependent on individual memory or last-minute reviews. You’ll learn how to translate obligations into process requirements by embedding controls and evidence expectations into the way work is requested, designed, approved, changed, and operated, including procurement, access management, change management, incident response, and data handling. We’ll cover how to prevent common breakdowns such as controls that exist only in policy, process steps that are skipped under urgency, and evidence that cannot be produced when auditors ask because it was never captured at the point of execution. Real-world scenarios include regulated data flowing through noncompliant integrations, vendors onboarded without required clauses, and changes implemented without the approvals and testing needed for defensible compliance. For CGEIT, you’ll practice selecting governance actions that standardize compliance alignment through clear criteria, accountable ownership, and monitoring that detects drift early.
