Cook / Arthur compliance solutions have two principle objectives, organized under the banner, Ethical Computing™.  First, we help you bring your content management system into compliance with relevant statutes, regulations and accepted ethics practices.  Second, we help you bring various business processes, operations, and governance activities into compliance through the strategic deployment of content management software and services.

Records Management

We help you bring you electronic documents into compliance with your records management requirements, integrating retention and disposition schedules and records management practices into your content management system.   We also help you address the specific records requirements of compliance regimes that require documenting certain processes and integrating information into managerial decision making.

Privacy

Managing customer, client, and employee data and documents is increasingly risky.   Federal and state statutes, regulations and rulings place restrictions on how personal information can be managed and shared.   In addition, your various stakeholder groups are or will be growing more concerned about the uses and management of their personal and confidential information.  To be successful, organizations need to be able to manage personal information through its business lifecycle in a way that enhances efficiency and productivity while reducing risks to its stakeholders.  This requires more than balancing interests; it requires integrating interests through flexible, robust systems.  We help you match your system’s capabilities with your organizations personal information management requirements.

Conflict of Interest

Governmental organizations in states such as California are required to follow conflict of interest and ethics rules designed to prevent and manage conflicts of interest.   Professional organizations with fiduciary obligations and corporate governance bodies are also required to address conflict of interest, whether by law, professional codes, or voluntary commitments.  At the heart of these regimes and codes is transparency and disclosure.  We help organizations meet these requirements efficiently and comprehensive, thus increasing their transparence while reducing the costs and burdens of doing so.

Occupational Safety

Distributing OSHA and state mandated safety information and documentation is a minimal requirement for a safe and compliant workplace.  Nevertheless, it is burdensome to comply and compliance is sometimes less than perfect.  Our content management systems provide robust tools for ensuring that safety information is effectively published and distributed and that proper notification is documented.
