V. Compliance and Governance
Verify adherence to established guidelines, regulations, and organizational standards by assessing documentation, procedures, and system configuration for consistency and accuracy. This step involves reviewing policies, laws, and industry benchmarks relevant to the project or initiative, as well as evaluating compliance with internal governance frameworks. Considerations include risk assessment, data protection, intellectual property rights, and other relevant factors that impact the project's overall integrity. Analyze the current state of compliance and governance within the organization and assess potential gaps or areas for improvement. Develop a plan to address any identified non-compliance issues and implement measures to ensure ongoing adherence to established standards throughout the project lifecycle.
