ISO 21448:2022 for Compliance Officers
What does ISO 21448:2022 require of a Compliance Officer?
Safety of the intended functionality for road vehicles: the activities to show that driver assistance and automated driving functions pose no unreasonable risk from performance limitations or foreseeable misuse, from specification and hazard evaluation through insufficiency analysis, measures, verification and validation strategy, release argument and field monitoring. Under ISO 21448:2022, which defines 32 controls, a Compliance Officer's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which ISO 21448:2022 controls land on the Compliance Officer
Compliance Officers ensure the organisation meets its regulatory obligations. They manage audit programmes, maintain evidence repositories, track regulatory changes, and coordinate across business units to sustain compliance posture.
ISO 21448:2022 defines 32 controls across 10 domains that directly affect the Compliance Officer role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
