Small compliance teams face the same problem as large ones with a fraction of the capacity: deciding quickly whether a development matters to them.
A four-question triage
Applied consistently, four questions resolve most items in minutes.
- Does it apply to our entity category?
- Does it change an obligation we already have, or create a new one?
- Is there a date by which something must change?
- Who owns the resulting action internally?
Turning triage into record
The output should be written down even when the answer is 'no action'. A documented assessment is what turns a reading exercise into a defensible compliance process.
