Ethics & Compliance
Frames integrity as an operating system, not a checklist. The field links values, obligations, and controls so decisions are lawful, fair, and explainable. It weaves ethical judgment into product choices and day-to-day processes, turning rules into habits that scale across teams and vendors.
Core elements include privacy engineering, data classification and retention, consent and subject rights, and security practices that protect information. Compliance work establishes policies, mapping of requirements, risk assessments, controls, and evidence for audits. Business ethics adds codes of conduct, conflict-management procedures, speak-up mechanisms, and guidance for areas like AI transparency, bias mitigation, accessibility, and truthful communications.
The result is resilience and a durable license to operate. Organizations prevent incidents, respond faster when issues arise, win confidence from customers and regulators, and maintain clear accountability through records and metrics that show real compliance, not theater.
