The challenge
Compliance task management without the chaos
Managing tasks within compliance, information security, and data protection is challenging. Your time is spent assessing new software, conducting vendor audits, controls and risks assessments, planning awareness training, and solving both small and large issues across the organisation.
Many teams still rely on manual tools like spreadsheets, emails, and calendar reminders. The result? Missed tasks, lost documentation, and increased risk.
Wired Relations provides an integrated solution that connects tasks with systems, processes, and people – reducing the risk of errors and missed deadlines.
Typical everyday challenges faced by compliance professionals
Was that task in my calendar, email, or to-do list?
I delegate tasks – but I’ve lost track of who is doing what.
I prioritise – but usually by working on whatever just landed in my inbox.
We probably shouldn’t have scheduled supplier audits and risk assessment updates in the same month.
How do I get a clear overview of the whole year and avoid peak workload periods?
How to take control of compliance task management with Wired Relations
Centralise all compliance tasks in one place
All tasks – across teams – are shown in a single overview. Filter, check statuses, deadlines and owners, and use labels to organise your work. One system, complete overview.
Benefit: One platform for all compliance tasks reduces clutter and increases transparency.
Prioritise smarter and reduce stress
With due dates, task types, and statuses in one view, you can easily reallocate resources and adapt priorities to optimise your time.
Build annual cycles for tasks, audits, and controls
Set tasks as recurring at specific intervals to make them part of your annual compliance calendar. You’ll receive reminders when it’s time to complete them again.
Plan workload and avoid peak periods
Your annual task cycle gives you an overview of your workload, helping you plan resources and avoid bottlenecks.
Link tasks to systems, vendors, and data
Connect tasks to systems, vendors, processing activities, or controls. The task manager is accessible throughout the platform, giving you full control with less manual effort.
Delegate tasks and improve data quality
Engage system owners to contribute their specific knowledge about processes and systems – improving your data protection and compliance quality. Limit their access, monitor their input, and enhance your GRC programme.
Ensure task ownership and continuity
Every task needs an owner. If an owner leaves the organisation, you’ll be prompted to reassign the task – so nothing gets lost or overlooked.

Evaluate and document tasks as you go
Evaluate tasks as they are completed and add notes for future reference. This supports continuity, makes it easier for others to follow up, and improves your audit readiness for standards like ISO 27001.
Track task history automatically
Task history is registered automatically. You always know what was done, when, and by whom.
View tasks in KanBan or list format
Choose the view that suits your workflow. Use KanBan to move tasks visually or list view for faster updates and better task tracking.
Why invest in task management for compliance?
Reduce compliance risk
Automated reminders, clear deadlines, and centralised documentation help you avoid missed controls, legal violations, and incomplete audits.
Save time and eliminate manual errors
By replacing spreadsheets and emails with digital workflows, you free up time and reduce the risk of human error.
Improve your compliance rate
When tasks are clearly assigned and progress is visible, activities are more likely to be completed correctly and on time.
Gain full control of your compliance efforts
Real-time overviews, documented history, and transparency in execution support both day-to-day management and audit preparation.
Centralised compliance task management – create structure and visibility
A centralised platform for compliance task management gives you better control and coordination across the entire organisation:

- Comment threads and shared task fields support in-task collaboration
- History and logs track who did what – and when
- Structured collaboration across internal and external stakeholders strengthens data quality and compliance outcomes
