Compliance – Legal Resources
Compliance issues for U.S. businesses continue to move to the forefront and show no signs of slowing down.
Unresolved compliance issues can cause financial and reputational consequences that are often not covered by insurance. Think about how time-consuming the following would be in addition to wasting valuable internal resources:
- An unexpected OSHA penalty
- A messy DOT record
- A lower score from a third-party verification company
- A HIPAA security breach
