Compliance

Spanish companies are subject to compliance with a wide range of regulations in different areas (industry regulations, data protection, information security, business continuity), the non-compliance with which can generate various risks (legal, economic, reputational) in their organizations.

The implementation of Risk & Compliance systems aims to minimize these risks and ensure regulatory compliance in all business processes.

A new category of corporate risk was added to this, carried out through the important reform of the Penal Code (Organic Law 5/2010, of June 22),  extending criminal liability to companies, regardless of their size, and obliging them to implement management and crime prevention systems that are effective in detecting and preventing criminal risks that may arise from their organization.
