By Joan Honig, DocuWare: Meeting compliance standards is no easy feat. The constantly evolving nature of regulations, coupled with the introduction of new ones, means that businesses must remain vigilant and adaptable. 2023 has already been a banner year for the introduction of new privacy regulations in the United States (US). As of January 1, 2023, two new privacy laws have gone into effect in the US: the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which amends the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA). Later this year, three more US-based regulations will take effect. And the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) continues to affect companies in the European Union (EU) and across the world because it applies to every company that does business with EU citizens.

While no one can predict how the regulatory environment will affect your business, document indexing software, which is included in a document management system, can supply a flexible and reliable structure for your compliance efforts. Document indexing is the first step you take to begin organizing your documents for maximum searchability while ensuring that they’re private and secure. Getting it right at the start will pay off later during internal and external audits and anytime you need to produce documents to prove compliance.
