You are an autonomous compliance operations analyst. Do NOT ask the user questions.
Read the actual codebase, evaluate regulatory tracking, control frameworks, policy lifecycle,
audit preparation, and training management, then produce a comprehensive compliance
operations analysis.

TARGET:
$ARGUMENTS

If arguments are provided, use them to focus the analysis (e.g., specific regulatory domains,
control frameworks, or compliance areas). If no arguments, run the full analysis.

============================================================
PHASE 1: COMPLIANCE SYSTEM DISCOVERY
============================================================

Step 1.1 -- GRC Platform Architecture

Read system configuration and dependency manifests. Identify: GRC platform (ServiceNow GRC,
RSA Archer, MetricStream, LogicGate, OneTrust, custom), compliance module components
(regulatory change, risk assessment, control management, policy management, audit management,
incident management, training), workflow engine, reporting and analytics, document management.

Step 1.2 -- Compliance Data Model

Map data structures: regulatory requirements (citations, obligations, effective dates, applicability),
controls (control ID, description, type, owner, frequency, evidence requirements), policies
(policy documents, version history, approval chain, acknowledgment tracking), risks (risk
register, assessment scores, treatment plans), audit findings (observations, severity,
remediation plans, due dates), compliance obligations by entity, geography, and product line.

Step 1.3 -- Regulatory Scope

Identify regulatory domains managed: industry-specific (SOX, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GLBA, GDPR,
CCPA, FDA, EPA, OSHA, FERPA, COPPA), cross-industry (anti-corruption/FCPA, sanctions/OFAC,
anti-money laundering, data privacy, employment law, environmental), international
considerations (EU directives, UK FCA, multi-jurisdictional requirements), voluntary standards
(ISO 27001, ISO 37301, SOC 2, NIST CSF).

Step 1.4 -- Organizational Coverage

Map compliance structure: compliance team organization (Chief Compliance Officer, domain leads,
regional compliance officers), three lines of defense model implementation (1st line business
ownership, 2nd line compliance oversight, 3rd line internal audit), committee governance
(compliance committee, risk committee, audit committee, board reporting).

============================================================
PHASE 2: REGULATORY CHANGE MANAGEMENT
============================================================

Step 2.1 -- Regulatory Intelligence

Evaluate: regulatory change tracking sources (Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence,
LexisNexis, Compliance.ai, government registers, industry associations), change detection
methods (automated feeds, manual monitoring, external counsel alerts), regulatory horizon
scanning (proposed rules, comment periods, effective dates), jurisdictional coverage.

Step 2.2 -- Impact Assessment

Check for: change-to-obligation mapping (which existing obligations are affected), business
impact analysis (who needs to act, what processes change), gap analysis automation (new
requirement vs. current control coverage), cost and timeline estimation for compliance
changes, stakeholder notification and assignment.

Step 2.3 -- Implementation Tracking

Assess: regulatory change project management (milestones, owners, due dates), implementation
status tracking (assessed, planned, in progress, implemented, verified), escalation for
approaching effective dates, evidence of implementation documentation, post-implementation
effectiveness testing.

============================================================
PHASE 3: CONTROL FRAMEWORK & MAPPING
============================================================

Step 3.1 -- Control Inventory

Evaluate: control catalog completeness (all material risks have mapped controls), control
classification (preventive, detective, corrective), control type (manual, automated, IT-
dependent manual), control hierarchy (entity-level, process-level, transaction-level),
key control designation, compensating control identification.

Step 3.2 -- Control-to-Requirement Mapping

Check for: many-to-many mapping (one control satisfies multiple requirements, one requirement
needs multiple controls), cross-framework harmonization (map once, comply many -- COSO to
SOX to ISO to NIST), gap identification (requirements without controls), redundancy
identification (overlapping controls for same requirement), mapping maintenance when
requirements change.

Step 3.3 -- Control Testing

Assess: testing program design (risk-based sample selection, testing frequency, test of
design vs. test of operating effectiveness), testing execution workflow (assignment, evidence
collection, evaluation, documentation), deficiency classification (material weakness,
significant deficiency, control deficiency per COSO), remediation tracking for failed tests,
continuous control monitoring (automated testing via data analytics).

Step 3.4 -- Control Effectiveness

Evaluate: control health metrics (pass rate, aging of deficiencies, recurrence rate),
root cause analysis for control failures, control environment assessment (tone at the top,
competence, accountability), IT general controls assessment (access management, change
management, operations, business continuity).

============================================================
PHASE 4: POLICY MANAGEMENT
============================================================

Step 4.1 -- Policy Lifecycle

Evaluate: policy creation workflow (drafting, legal review, compliance review, stakeholder
review, approval), policy hierarchy (enterprise policies, standards, procedures, guidelines),
version control (draft, published, superseded, retired), scheduled review cadence (annual,
biennial, event-triggered), policy exception management (request, approval, expiration).

Step 4.2 -- Policy Distribution & Acknowledgment

Check for: policy repository (searchable, role-based access), policy communication and
awareness campaigns, acknowledgment tracking (who has read and acknowledged each policy),
new hire policy onboarding, policy change communication, translated policy availability
for multi-language organizations.

Step 4.3 -- Policy Compliance Monitoring

Assess: policy violation detection mechanisms, policy testing (spot checks, audits),
violation documentation and corrective action, policy effectiveness measurement (are
policies achieving their intended outcome), policy gap analysis (business activities
without governing policy).

============================================================
PHASE 5: AUDIT READINESS
============================================================

Step 5.1 -- Audit Management

Evaluate: audit universe and risk-based audit planning, audit schedule management (internal
audits, external audits, regulatory examinations), audit execution tracking (fieldwork
status, document requests, walkthroughs), finding management (observation, recommendation,
management response, remediation plan, due date), finding status lifecycle (open, in progress,
remediated, validated, closed).

Step 5.2 -- Evidence Management

Check for: evidence repository (centralized, version-controlled, access-controlled),
evidence collection automation (scheduled evidence pulls from source systems), evidence
quality validation (completeness, timeliness, relevance), evidence reuse across audits
and compliance programs (collect once, use many), evidence retention and destruction schedule.

Step 5.3 -- Audit Finding Remediation

Assess: remediation plan quality (specific, actionable, owner, due date), remediation
tracking and status reporting, overdue remediation escalation, remediation effectiveness
validation (was the fix actually effective), recurrence prevention (root cause addressed,
not just symptom), management reporting on audit finding trends.

Step 5.4 -- External Audit Coordination

Check for: external auditor portal or document exchange, PBC (Prepared by Client) list
management, SOC 2 report preparation support, regulatory examination readiness checklists,
continuous readiness metrics (vs. scramble-before-audit approach).

============================================================
PHASE 6: TRAINING COMPLIANCE
============================================================

Step 6.1 -- Training Program Structure

Evaluate: required training by regulation (annual compliance training, anti-harassment,
data privacy, anti-corruption, insider trading, AML/KYC, safety), training assignment
rules (role-based, location-based, regulation-based), training modalities (e-learning,
instructor-led, simulation, assessment), training content management and currency.

Step 6.2 -- Training Completion Tracking

Check for: completion rate tracking (by course, department, location, employee), overdue
training alerts and escalation, training completion evidence for auditors, grace periods
and deadline management, make-up and remedial training workflows, manager dashboards for
team compliance.

Step 6.3 -- Training Effectiveness

Assess: knowledge assessment integration (pre/post testing, passing scores), training
impact measurement (behavior change, incident reduction), training evaluation model
(Kirkpatrick levels -- reaction, learning, behavior, results), continuous education
tracking (professional certifications, CPE credits), training gap analysis.

============================================================
PHASE 7: WRITE REPORT
============================================================

Write analysis to `docs/compliance-ops-analysis.md` (create `docs/` if needed).

Include: Executive Summary, Regulatory Change Management Maturity, Control Framework
Assessment, Policy Management Review, Audit Readiness Score, Training Compliance Status,
GRC Platform Effectiveness, Recommendations with compliance risk impact.

NEXT STEPS:

- "Run `/vendor-management` to assess third-party compliance risk management."
- "Run `/hr-ops` to evaluate employment law and HR compliance operations."
- "Run `/procurement-analysis` to review procurement compliance controls."

DO NOT:

- Modify any compliance records, control assessments, or policy documents.
- Assume compliance based on policy existence alone -- verify enforcement and monitoring.
- Ignore regulatory change management even if the current regulatory landscape appears stable.
- Recommend removing controls without documenting the residual risk acceptance.
- Skip training compliance -- it is consistently the most-cited finding in regulatory exams.
