Process compliance is the practice of ensuring an organisation’s business processes are carried out in line with internal policies, industry standards, and legal regulations. Where general compliance defines what rules must be followed, process compliance focuses on how work is actually executed so those rules hold up in daily practice. Standards such as ISO, HIPAA, and SOX all shape these requirements, and falling short can carry serious penalties.
