• {{documents}}: A list or description of the compliance documents to review (e.g., policies, procedures, records).
• {{focus_areas}}: Specific areas of emphasis (e.g., audit findings, data subject rights, reporting requirements).

Instructions

2. Categorize the provided documents by their relevance to the regulation (e.g., mandatory, recommended, optional).
3. Summarize key information from each document, highlighting how it addresses the focus areas.
4. Identify inconsistencies, gaps, or overlaps in the documentation that could lead to non-compliance.
5. Suggest corrective actions to fill gaps, resolve inconsistencies, and improve overall completeness.

Output format Provide a structured compliance review report with the following sections:
