Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Clarify the scope and level of technical regulatory framework activities
- 1.1 Range of technical regulatory framework operational components and relevant business arrangements of the organisation are identified and reviewed.
- 1.2 Analysis of the technical regulatory framework operations and relevant business arrangements of the organisation is conducted and the functions, products and services that may be subject to compliance requirements are identified.
- 1.3 Plan for determining relevant compliance requirements is developed and documented.
- 1.4 Approval for the plan is obtained from the relevant internal authority.
2. Identify compliance requirements
- 2.1 Search is carried out of sources of information on internal and external compliance requirements using appropriate search resources.
- 2.2 Search of compliant requirements, scans across all relevant jurisdictional laws and regulations, and industry and organisational codes and standards are undertaken and related compliance requirements are identified.
- 2.3 Gathered information on relevant compliance requirements is progressively reviewed in terms of its relevance to organisational operations, services and products.
- 2.4 Ambiguities, uncertainties and problems experienced while interpreting identified compliance information are discussed and clarified with relevant internal or external stakeholders..
- 2.5 Relevant compliance requirements are identified, analysed and prioritised in terms of critical implications for the organisation, and the risks and consequences of possible breaches.
3. Document and communicate compliance requirements
- 3.1 Outcomes of the identification and interpretation activities are organised and documented in specified information management systems documentation.
- 3.2 Specified information management systems documentation is approved by appropriate internal authority.
- 3.3 Reports of relevant compliance requirements and assessed implications are prepared and communicated to relevant personnel performing specific compliance management functions.
4. Implement technical compliance management system
