ABOUT US
As compliance SMEs, we operationalize global trade regulations at our companies. The thing is, software has outpaced some regulations, which can happen easily. That's the nature of technology. It can take a creative and skilled compliance brain to apply old and newly emerging trade regulations to software, especially cloud computing software products and components (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS).
This club was started to bring those creative and skilled compliance brains together. It's also an excuse to get out of the office and eat lunch together with cloud compliance fam to share common interests, questions, and experiences.
If this makes sense to you so far... check out the rest of the site, join, and stop by for lunch sometime!
As compliance professionals, we operationalize global trade regulations at our organizations and companies. The thing is, various technologies have been known to outpace some regulations. This can happen easily. That's the nature of tech companies and government. It can take a creative and skilled compliance mindset to apply and influence trade regulations for cloud computing, information security, encryption, and other high tech products.
Why was this network started? To bring those creative and skilled compliance mindsets together. Everyone has valuable perspective and knowledge. Plus, this is an excuse to get out of the office to eat lunch with people who have common priorities, questions, and challenges.
