Materiality assessment

Evaluate the organization's activities and initiatives undertaken during the reporting period to ensure compliance. This includes assessing whether policies and procedures were followed, monitoring systems were effective, and any incidents or breaches were appropriately addressed.
Submit the report
Submit the compliance report within the designated timeframe to the appropriate stakeholders, regulatory bodies, or internal departments, as required. Ensure adherence to any specific submission processes or platforms.
Communicate results
Share the report's findings with relevant internal and external stakeholders, as appropriate. This may involve conducting presentations, organizing meetings, or publishing the report on the organization's website or in relevant publications.
Monitor and follow-up
