Taxonomies #

Taxonomies play a foundational role in automated compliance by creating a clear, consistent structure for your documents and data. Think of it as building a robust filing system; by defining a controlled hierarchy of terms—such as categorizing documents by Regulation, Topic, and Control you eliminate ambiguity and ensure that everyone in the organization speaks the same language.

This simple act of organization is the first step toward automation. A well-defined taxonomy allows a compliance system to quickly and accurately identify all documents related to a specific topic or regulation, making it far easier to retrieve information, perform initial scoping, and lay the groundwork for more advanced analysis. It transforms a messy collection of documents into a navigable library of structured information.
