Compliance Monitoring is the ongoing process of checking whether an organization, system, or business activity follows required laws, regulations, policies, standards, and internal controls. It can involve collecting evidence, tracking control status, reviewing transactions or system activity, and identifying deviations that may require investigation or corrective action.
Modern compliance monitoring often combines automated rules, audit logs, risk assessments, alerts, and dashboards to provide continuous visibility rather than relying only on periodic reviews. It is used in areas such as data protection, financial services, cybersecurity, healthcare, and corporate governance to detect potential violations, maintain evidence, and support timely remediation.
