- {{regulations}}: Specific regulations that apply (e.g., HIPAA, SEC/FINRA, FDA/USDA, GDPR/CCPA).
- {{processes}}: Any specific processes or areas to include (e.g., data handling, reporting, safety).
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
- Research the specified regulations and industry requirements to identify all necessary compliance steps.
- Create a structured checklist with categories (e.g., documentation, training, monitoring, reporting) and sub-items.
- For each item, include a brief description of the requirement and any relevant regulatory reference.
