Frequently Asked Questions
Should this be a custom build or a GRC platform?+
It depends on your regulatory complexity and team size. If you comply with 2-3 regulations and have a small team, a purpose-built dashboard may be simpler. If you manage 10+ regulations across business units, consider GRC platforms (Vanta, Drata, Anecdotes, AuditBoard) and use this template to spec your customization requirements.
How do I keep the obligation registry current as regulations change?+
Assign a regulation owner for each in-scope regulation. They monitor regulatory updates (via regulator newsletters, legal alerts, or compliance intelligence services) and propose obligation updates quarterly. Build a "regulatory change management" workflow into the dashboard.
What is the right control testing frequency?+
Match the testing frequency to the risk level and control type. Critical preventive controls (e.g., access management) should be tested quarterly. Lower-risk detective controls (e.g., log reviews) can be tested annually. Automated controls can be tested continuously.
How do I handle overlapping regulations?+
Many controls satisfy multiple regulations (e.g., encryption controls apply to GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2). Map each control to all applicable obligations. The dashboard should show this many-to-many relationship so testing one control updates the status of all linked obligations.
What retention period should I use for audit logs?+
Default to 7 years, which satisfies most financial regulations (SOX, BSA/AML). GDPR requires logs to be kept only as long as necessary. PCI-DSS requires 1 year of readily available logs. Configure retention per regulation and default to the longest applicable period.
