(Laws vary by location) 👥 What roles/departments need compliance training? (e.g., HR, sales, warehouse, engineers) 📋 Which regulations or standards must be met? (e.g., OSHA, HIPAA, ISO 27001, local labor laws) 🧠 Do you already use an LMS to track training? If so, which one? 📆 Are there upcoming audits, board reviews, or certification deadlines? 🚨 Have you faced any compliance breaches or near-misses in the past?
