How do you work with regulatory risks in a product?

Regulatory risks in a product are risks associated with non-compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. To effectively manage them, you should:

• Conduct regular monitoring of legislation in your industry to identify changes in a timely manner.
• Engage legal teams or consultants early in the product development process.
• Integrate compliance processes into the product lifecycle: verify compliance at each stage.
• Assess risks and their impact on the business to make decisions about priorities and resources.
• Document all decisions and processes related to regulatory requirements.
• Train the team on the basics of regulatory requirements to increase awareness.

For example, if you are developing a financial product, it is important to consider requirements related to data protection (GDPR) and licensing. Include audit and testing stages in the development plan to ensure compliance with these requirements.
