National and local regulatory law can be hard to find, more often than not it is organized poorly, and it is always changing. This leaves Compliance managers open to risk.
The CleanChain Compliance Module, powered by LibryoTM, enables organizations to know, and understand the legal obligations they face for their unique business, and create a plan to be in compliance.

Step 1: How it Works
After you access the Compliance Module, you will complete a series of questions about your business called an Applicability Analysis. The Applicability Analysis effectively narrows down the national and local law so we can provide you with legal requirements that apply to your business.
You don't need to be a lawyer to understand your legal requirements. With the Compliance Module, your requirements have easy-to-read summaries, and are also available to read in their entirety. Best of all, as laws change, your legal requirements will stay up-to-date.
When you have the laws that are applicable for your business at your fingertips, it's time to create tasks to promote compliance. An effective plan starts with tasks. Libryo tasks are automatically created based on your applicable laws so you can spend less-time determining what it takes to be compliant, and more time planning for your success.
