Data transparency and information are becoming increasingly important and are a key component in achieving corporate goals. At the same time, the increase in legal and regulatory requirements as well as dynamic technological and innovation developments are challenging organisations and companies more than ever.
IT is a key success factor for compliance with all requirements. It ensures the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information and the underlying IT systems.
Digital Process Compliance's auditing and consulting services make the use of information technologies more manageable, efficient and effective and can significantly reduce risks.
The technological auditing and consulting approach helps to ensure high quality in projects, minimise costs and generate the associated added value.
With customised digital process compliance solutions, our experts examine and advise on the growing regulatory requirements, the management and control of IT, including potential savings, ERP system transformations and the appropriate design of IT-supported processes.
The entire IT compliance and information security is taken into account - starting with the strategy and the corresponding guidelines, through the resulting processes and organisational structures, to the employees and technical IT components. This ensures that not only individual components, but also their interaction as a whole, function in compliance with regulatory requirements.

We support you in the further development of digital governance and compliance structures. The focus is on whether processes, data flows and controls are designed in such a way that regulatory requirements can be reliably integrated into day-to-day operations.
In doing so, we examine the entire workflow, from the triggering business transaction through to the documented decision. This reveals where process deviations arise, what the underlying causes are, and at which points organisations should adapt their controls, responsibilities or system logic.
Our experts combine regulatory advisory experience with an understanding of technology and a clear eye for practical feasibility. Where appropriate, we use data-driven analytical approaches to systematically identify patterns, control weaknesses and process deviations and to derive and establish future-oriented structures.
We support companies in translating regulatory requirements into specific process, control and documentation requirements. In doing so, we do not consider individual sets of regulations in isolation, but think strategically about how requirements can be embedded in systems, workflows, interfaces and responsibilities.
Digitalisation generates a great deal of process information directly within systems. We help to make target and actual processes comparable, identify anomalies and assess process deviations from a technical perspective. This enables companies to better understand whether deviations represent isolated operational incidents, systematic weaknesses or risks relevant to regulatory compliance.
We analyse whether existing controls are appropriate for a company’s digital processes. This involves manual and automated controls, authorisations, approvals, interfaces and monitoring mechanisms. The aim is to create a control environment that addresses risks whilst remaining practicable.
Digital compliance consulting requires robust data. We assess whether information is available in a sufficient, consistent and traceable manner. Of particular relevance are data provenance, change logs, system transitions and the documentation of automated process steps.
Digital process compliance only works if roles, responsibilities and escalation procedures are clearly defined. We support organisations in clearly defining responsibilities between business units, compliance, IT and management, and embedding these within existing governance structures.
We derive specific areas for action from the analysis results. We prioritise measures according to risk, feasibility and regulatory relevance, and support companies throughout the implementation process. This results in a structured roadmap for greater security within digital process landscapes.
KPMG Digital Compliance combines regulatory expertise with an understanding of processes and technological know-how. We support companies not only in implementing digitalisation from a technical perspective, but also in ensuring it is compliant.
This provides management with a robust basis for decision-making. They can identify where processes are running smoothly, where process deviations occur, and which measures will strengthen the compliance structure in the long term.

Digital compliance describes a company’s ability to design digital processes, data flows and controls in a way that is compliant with regulations, traceable and manageable. It is crucial that regulatory requirements are effectively reflected in operational workflows.
Process deviations highlight where actual processes deviate from the defined target process. This is important for companies because such deviations can indicate weaknesses in controls, system errors or regulatory risks.
Digital compliance consultancy is advisable when companies are digitising processes, introducing new systems, further developing control structures or need to incorporate regulatory requirements into digital workflows.
Digital process compliance covers, amongst other things, digital processes, data flows, ERP transformation, licences, authorisations, interfaces, approvals, documentation, monitoring, AI governance and internal control systems.
