Regulatory context

The frameworks your register has to answer to

We map each obligation to a risk, a control and an owner, so the register and the compliance universe are one document rather than two.

  • OHS ActMachinery, hazardous substances, incident reporting.
  • NEMAEmissions, waste and environmental duties.
  • Consumer Protection ActProduct safety, liability and recalls.
  • NRCS compulsory specificationsProduct standards for regulated goods.
  • Companies Act and King VRisk governance for boards.
  • POPIAPersonal information on employees and customers.
