It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong.

Compliance with internal and external requirements is an elementary component of planning and implementing change projects in a way that is fair to one's interests and risks. Of course, this also applies to digitalisation and IT transformation projects such as the introduction of apps and changes to the IT architecture.

The inclusion of the compliance perspective in the design of the company's services, but also in the contracts with involved service providers (for example, in the design of software and licence agreements) protects the company from penalties and reputational damage and creates the basis for effective control of important requirements. Consideration of regulations, including data protection, but also of market-specific requirements such as those of MaRisk and the EBA guidelines, thus establishes a secure design of projects and contracts.

This ensures that unnecessary costs are avoided, and risks mitigated, and that a service and product design and contract structure is created that is in line with their  interests and practical approach.
