Risk & Compliance Layer | The LIA Development Framework

Risk & Compliance

How do we protect people and the organisation?

Risk & Compliance is the fifth and outer layer of the LIA Development Framework: the protective shell around everything else. It is about how organisations keep their people safe, act lawfully and uphold ethical standards. This layer brings together six programmes in data protection, conduct, ethics and cyber awareness that safeguard everything the inner layers build.

Why Risk & Compliance is the outer ring

Personal growth (Self), teamwork (Team), an inclusive Culture and strong Leadership can only flourish in an environment that is safe, lawful and ethical.

As the outermost ring, this layer guards both the people and the organisation, from data protection and conduct to ethics and cyber awareness, so everything inside it can thrive.
