A wide range of regulations apply to employment and the workplace. These regulations concern the following aspects of your business:

- Discriminatory hiring or unfair employment practices
- Wages and hours
- Work environment
- Workplace safety

Regulations Governing Internal Requirements for Businesses
Governments — often state governments — require companies incorporated within a state to keep and provide records relating to the operation of business. Those requirements might apply to the following elements of a business:
- Information about annual directors’ meetings
- A company’s bylaws and updates of those bylaws
- A company’s provision of stock to shareholders
- All of a company’s stock transfers
- Company records on major business transactions
- Updates or important changes to the operations of a company
Standards That Help Guide Regulatory Compliance
- NIST Standards: These standards were set up by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a federal agency, to guide compliance with some regulations.
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and ISO 19600: The ISO is an international body that sets standards in a range of industrial, commercial, and other areas. Its ISO 19600 standard offers guidance on how organizations can set up and maintain a system of compliance management.
- ISO/IEC 27002: This is a standard that recommends best practices to ensure appropriate security for information technology systems.
- COBIT: This is a framework that recommends best practices for managing and governing information technology. The COBIT framework was created by an information technology professional association called the Information Systems Audit and Control Association — now known only by its acronym, ISACA.
