Company compliance software, judged by the record it keeps and the figures it works

Updated

Company compliance software is bought by a small company holding itself to the obligations its regulators, contracts and insurers impose the week the spreadsheet stops being enough: the obligations are in one tab, the evidence in a shared drive, the attestations in email, and the examiner is asking for all three at once. The software's job is to keep the obligations, the controls, the evidence, the incidents and the attestations as one record with a status, and, if it is any good, to work the figures the compliance officer otherwise estimates: how many evidence items a full attestation needs and how many reviewer hours that is, how many days an audit scope takes, how many gaps to expect and what they cost to close. This page says what company compliance software must keep, what it should compute, and where the free sheets on this site do that computation now, from the programme's own numbers, with no account.

Company compliance, the smallest programme

Company compliance is the programme a small company runs when no single regulator owns it: the obligations come from contracts, insurers, the state and a handful of federal rules, and nobody has written the list. The obligations register sheet on this site is where the list becomes a number, and the paid plan is where it becomes a record with owners and dates.

What company compliance software should compute

The evidence load a register puts on its reviewers and the months to a full attestation; the days an audit scope needs and the share the days available cover; the gaps an audit will find at the programme's own gap rate and what they cost to remediate; the incident hours and the case backlog's months to clear; the training seats outstanding. Each is a free sheet on this site, and for company compliance the one to start with is the obligations register sheet, which works the figure a small company holding itself to the obligations its regulators, contracts and insurers impose is measured on first. Software that computes those from the live record has understood the job; software that offers a report builder has not.

Judging company compliance software for a small business

Bring the sheets' figures to the demo: the register's items and hours, the audit's days, the expected gaps and their cost. Ask the vendor to show the same numbers from its demo data, ask what it costs to run for a programme of that size rather than to license, and ask how the record exports on the day the contract ends. The guide this page supports covers choosing among regulatory compliance consulting firms, which is the other half of the same decision. Attestvio Pro keeps the record at one flat price; the sheets stay free either way.

What company compliance software must keep

For a small company holding itself to the obligations its regulators, contracts and insurers impose, the record is the obligations, the controls, the evidence, the incidents and the attestations, each with an owner, a date and a status, and each linked to the obligation it satisfies. Software that keeps those as separate lists has a shared drive with a login; software that links them can answer the examiner's question about any one of them as a lookup. The test in a demo is one screen for one obligation with its controls, evidence and last attestation on it. Attestvio Pro keeps exactly that record for a regulated small business, and the free sheets on this site work its arithmetic without any record at all.

Questions people ask about company compliance software

What does company compliance software do?

It keeps the obligations, the controls, the evidence, the incidents and the attestations as one linked record with a status, and works the figures the programme runs on: evidence load, audit days, expected gaps, incident hours, case backlog, training seats. The free sheets on this site work the figures; the paid plan keeps the record.

Does a small business need company compliance software?

It needs the record and the arithmetic; whether it needs an enterprise product to get them depends on the programme's size. Work the obligations register sheet first; a programme whose reviewers can carry the load with a flat-price record does not need a platform.

What does company compliance software cost?

Enterprise products quote after a call and this site publishes no figure for them. Attestvio Pro is $29 a month for the whole programme, and every sheet on the site is free with no account.
