Prerequisites
Any experience relating to information security would be advantageous, but not essential. All topics discussed are thoroughly explained and presented in a way allowing the information to be absorbed by everyone, regardless of experience within the security field.
Compliance has to be built into the contracts as well as the work. The subject we just left, where it's recognizing the intellectual property rights of various parties, is part of this issue. Now, the legal compliance, of course, can derive from a lot of sources. State, federal, national, international, industry, and other places. These can affect supply chain members as well, especially if they're spread around the planet. So, we need to have a generally coordinated compliance process determining what is going to be the ruling law, et cetera, over this kind of activity. And we have to have that worked out ideally before the work begins. So that it's not going to resurrect as an issue, but even during the process, it should be revisited from time to time, simply because legal changes happen all the time in countries around the world.
