Compliance policies are vital. They are the settings in which you define some essential rules and requirements for compliance. You can specify policies for documents and descriptors that must be present for full compliance. These policies can be categorized and tailored for contacts, entities, or relationships. They can also be further customized for specific types of criteria. The compliance status of your contacts, entities, and relationships is interconnected, directly affecting your overall compliance level. Our approach allows for precision and strategy.

Documents and compliance
You can establish document compliance policies for Relationships, Contacts, and Entities. When accessing a contact, for instance, within the Docs section, you’ll see that a specific document type is mandated by the policy. Upon submission, this contributes to elevating the compliance level.
- When you specify certain types or risk levels, the document requirement will only be enforced if the relationship (contact or entity) possesses that particular type or risk level. Naturally, if the risk level changes, for instance, the policy will no longer apply.
Descriptors and compliance
If any descriptors in Settings > Descriptors are marked as associated with compliance, they will be displayed here in the Compliance settings, categorized accordingly under their categories (contact, relationship, entity or organization). That will make the descriptor part of the calculation of the compliance level of one.
- While adding descriptors, you can assign conditions (weights) to them. Here in the Organization section, you will have the capability to adjust the values. If the descriptor is linked to compliance, this adjustment will impact the cyber security compliance level of your organization.
- When you open a contact, entity or relationship you will see what descriptors are needed for it. Additionally, it will be evident which descriptors, when added, will lead to an increase in the compliance level. And in the event that they are not filled, the compliance level will decrease.
Good to know
- Modifying a descriptor in the compliance policy settings will automatically result in its change in descriptors settings
- You can establish document policies exclusively for a single contact, entity, or relationship. This can be accomplished by opening one and navigating to the Dates section
