ISO 37301 Compliance Management Systems Certification

ISO 37301 Compliance Management Systems Certification

ISO 37301 sets out the requirements and provides guidelines for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining, and improving an effective compliance management system within an organization.

Leadership should promote a compliant behavior within the organization based on the organization’s core values and the implementation of the required measures to promote such behavior.

When jurisdictions have occurred in an organization, many courts have considered the organization’s commitment to compliance based on their Compliance Management System before they decided on the appropriate penalty to be imposed for contraventions of relevant laws. Thus, not only the organizations but also the regulatory and judicial bodies can benefit from this standard as a benchmark.

This standard is intended to be adaptable, and implementation can differ depending on the size and level of maturity of an organization’s compliance management system and on the context, nature and complexity of the organization’s activities and objectives.

Organizations want to work and collaborate with companies they can trust, and trust is built on a company culture of doing the right thing, where every employee contributes because they understand and believe in the importance of it. Central to this is good leadership and clear values, which have to come from the top.
