What is ISO 37301?

The international standard ISO 37301 provides guidelines for effective compliance management systems. Based on the principles of good governance, proportionality, transparency and sustainability, it describes the key components and processes of an effective Compliance Management System (CMS). The standard is a useful tool for organizations that wish to implement a compliance management system or are looking to standardize their system.

Similar to other ISO principles for management systems, the ISO 37301 draws on the established ISO principle of “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) which requires that certified companies operate within a continuous improvement process cycle.

The standard is applicable to all types of organizations, irrespective of their size, industry, risk exposure or global footprint. Including the following:

• Private organisations, including separate business units and subsidiaries.
• Public organisations, including administrations and political parties.
• Non-profit organisations, including NGOs and charitie
