Session Description: Every organisation is subject to a variety of data privacy and other laws intended to protect the individuals you engage with. Software compliance – making sure the systems you use to run your advancement follow industry and security best practices – is a critical guide to ensuring that you are abiding by these laws and standards in a digitally driven world. Of course, if you’re actively working to keep your institution compliant, you already know this can be more complex than it sounds. Legislation grows increasingly rigorous each year, with a patchwork of national and international standards to follow, and your stakeholders’ expectations around privacy, payments, accessibility, security, and AI are rapidly evolving. Keeping up with and ensuring adherence is far from a small task. But there are big things at stake. As you navigate this environment, this session will address five key questions to help you have a conversation with your colleagues and vendors to assess how you’re doing on software compliance – with tips and tricks that propel your ability to meet changing needs as you focus to raise resources, deliver programmes, manage operations, and measure impact. The outcome? To embrace cloud software and compliance as strong partners – and take the lead through clear and transparent adoption.
