Compliance Checker

When launching a new product, updating policies, or conducting a periodic compliance audit.

Check the following [DOCUMENT/PRACTICE/POLICY] for compliance:

Document or practice: [DESCRIBE OR PASTE]
Applicable regulations: [e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX, ADA, OSHA, state-specific]
Industry: [CLIENT'S INDUSTRY]
Jurisdiction: [STATE(S) OR COUNTRIES]
Company size: [EMPLOYEES AND REVENUE — relevant for thresholds]

Assess compliance on:
1. Required elements — does the document include everything the regulation mandates?
2. Prohibited elements — does it contain anything the regulation forbids?
3. Notice requirements — are disclosures timely and in the right format?
4. Consent mechanisms — are they sufficient under the applicable standard?
5. Record-keeping obligations — is the retention policy adequate?
6. Employee/consumer rights — are required rights preserved?
7. Cross-border considerations — if data or operations cross jurisdictions

For each finding:
- Cite the specific regulatory provision
- Rate compliance: COMPLIANT / GAP / VIOLATION
- Provide the specific fix needed

Example Output

A compliance matrix mapping each regulatory requirement to the document or practice, with gap identification and remediation steps.

Tips

• •Specify all applicable jurisdictions — state privacy laws often layer on top of federal requirements.
• •Include company size — many regulations exempt small businesses.
• •Update compliance checks whenever regulations change, not just during annual audits.
