What's a Compliance Officer? Why Do You Need One?

If your company has grown, you may find yourself facing regulatory challenges or attempting to secure your network on your own. It can be overwhelming, which is why compliance officers are essential to the businesses and organizations they support.

Chief compliance officers are executives (part of the C-suite) who oversee the regulatory issues that an organization faces. They may also be the company’s or organization’s chief counsel or legal compliance officer. In a large organization, the fractional CCO oversees and manages the entire compliance team, which may also include IT personnel.

Without a CCO, a company may assign unqualified employees to respond to requests for regulatory information. They may also be vulnerable to cyber-attacks and fail to plan for a cyber emergency. Some fields, like the healthcare industry, have a complex set of regulatory rules (like HIPAA and FDA regulations) that must be followed. Across all industries, maintaining ADA compliance and ensuring client/customer data is secure isn’t just important — it’s oftentimes federally mandated.

When you hire a virtual fractional compliance officer with DAP, you access:

Immediate insight.

Hiring a DAP VCCO (virtual chief compliance officer) means you can address regulatory issues immediately. A virtual compliance officer has the outside perspective that helps them respond to high-level concerns and triage compliance issues, promptly addressing regulatory issues. Then, you can handle these expeditiously and effectively.

Industry-specific experience.

DAP’s VCCOs are highly skilled and experienced, bringing expert-level knowledge of the regulatory affairs of your specific industry. If you need help with HIPAA compliance, the VCCO with which you are matched has a firm understanding of HIPAA compliance. 

Team training. 

A DAP VCCO can help train your existing compliance team and/or employees, empowering them with the skills and insights needed to avoid regulatory violations. Compliance is a forethought. A DAP VCCO is also helpful in finding and hiring qualified compliance personnel to add to your team.

A DAP VCCO maintains the same effectiveness as an on-staff CCO but in a virtual environment and for a cost within reach of a mid-sized business.

    Optimize your online presence.

A DAP outsourced compliance officer double-checks that your online presence is secure, effective, and compliant. They also review your site to see that it’s optimized as per SEO best practices to meet the specific needs of your clients and customers.

  • 5
    Improve regulatory-compliant automations.

    Automations can help your business operate more efficiently and provide your clients with a better experience. Like other aspects of your business’s technology, automations must also follow regulatory and compliance rules. Your virtual compliance officer ensures the automations follow necessary guidelines, adjusting outliers as needed.

  • 6
    Implement powerful search and media strategies.

    SEO is important, and the power of your online presence is essential to businesses. Your virtual compliance officer oversees ADA website compliance by checking color contrast, button accessibility, alt text, and more.

    Update branding, content marketing, and PR.

    Content marketing is a major part of lead generation strategies, bringing traffic to your site. Your virtual compliance officer keeps your website’s content powerful, visible, and on the right side of claims guidelines, from medical to legal marketing and beyond.

  • 8
    Hire top talent for critical departments.

    Many businesses find themselves in need of new team members to staff new departments, like compliance and marketing, but need the expertise of C-suite executives to search for and hire new candidates. A DAP virtual compliance officer can help find, interview, and train new compliance team members for your staff. Virtual compliance officers can also work with fractional chief marketing officers to find marketing employees who understand regulatory and compliance needs.

  • 9
    Monitor KPIs and marketing spend.

    KPIs can be a good reflection of marketing efforts and an indication of your business’s compliance health. Your virtual compliance officer monitors KPIs and works with your marketing team to meet ROI goals. They allocate the budget wisely so funds are used effectively.

    A DAP virtual compliance officer helps you meet all your compliance and regulatory goals without the cost of a full-time compliance officer, protecting you from regulatory violations and overspending.

A virtual compliance officer, also called an outsourced compliance officer, is an executive-level employee who handles a business’s or organization’s regulatory and compliance affairs from a virtual standpoint.

Most fractional compliance officers have an hourly rate between $250 and $500 per hour (far more affordable than a full-time chief compliance officer).

What are the three types of compliance?

The three main types of compliance are regulatory, corporate, and internal compliance.

  • Regulatory compliance: A business should adhere to laws, regulations, and standards set by government agencies or industry bodies.
  • Corporate compliance: A company’s internal policies and procedures operate ethically and in line with its own guidelines.
  • Internal compliance: Internal controls, such as data protection, cybersecurity measures, and employee conduct policies must be top-notch. 

DAP’s fractional remote virtual compliance officers excel at managing all these aspects, conducting audits, doing risk assessments, and following regulatory standards. They integrate high-level marketing knowledge to keep sales as robust as legal and ethical guidelines.

Can a compliance officer be outsourced?

Yes, a compliance officer can definitely be outsourced, and fractional virtual compliance officers are a fantastic solution for many organizations.
