STAYING ON TOP OF THE GAME

Audits
Audit once and attest multiple times. Compliance tasks and regulatory demands are often redundant across multiple requirements; with the CCH, you can eliminate duplicate efforts by asserting compliance across multiple Authority Documents simultaneously

Supply Chain Management

COMPARING IS CARING

Comparing authority documents

Create a gap overlap analysis to drastically reduce audit elements.

You can quickly and easily compare any Authority Documents or AD lists. This is very useful for gap/overlap analysis and can also be used to gauge the impact of new initiatives, geographies, laws, and more.
In order to reduce the burden (and cost) of compliance, you have to de-duplicate the mandates in the Authority Documents so they don’t overlap. When you compare Authority Documents or AD lists and find the overlaps between the regulations, you can eliminate redundant Common Controls that show up in multiple regulations. Just comply once with them all simultaneously, which saves you lots of time and energy! Here’s how: Select Authority Documents or an AD list for Column A. 

This could be your “baseline” set of requirements. Pick ADs or an AD list for column B. This could represent your risk, a new initiative, a new law, a third party’s compliance profile and more. To see the overlap of Common Controls that are in both List A and List B, click on the arrow next to Both AB (and check out the information icon on the Common Controls for Both AB). Once you have your A/B comparison, just click Export Compare List and then click the Download button to copy it to your computer. To determine how much time and money you are saving by comparing Authority Documents, click the green dollar sign in the middle column, next to Controls. For step-by-step directions on how to compare Authority Documents and screenshots.

MOVING FAST FORWARD

Track your progress

How does it relate to the Common Controls Hub?
One of the keys to a successful compliance campaign is tracking your compliance. This means gathering the necessary evidence that the multiple mandates your organization is required to follow are being completed. Instead of manually tracking Controls completion in spreadsheets, you can efficiently track it all online in the CCH. From the Workspace, just click the Tracking tab, select the
Authority Document or list that contains the Controls you are working to comply with, and check the ‘Done’ or ‘Not Applicable’ checkbox; otherwise, incomplete Controls will still be on your To-do list. Instead of waiting for an update status, you can conveniently check on your progress in your Dashboard Overview section.
As soon as a team member or a third-party service provider or vendor completes a task and complies with the Control, they click the checkbox, and that status update is reflected in your Dashboard; you will clearly see what percentage of Controls are complete.
