Regulatory review & compliance support in Adelaide
Rules change, obligations pile up and it's hard to know where your business actually stands. We review your compliance position (privacy, data handling, industry-specific requirements and new obligations like AED laws) and give you a plain-English report with clear steps to close any gaps.

The short answer
A regulatory review checks where your business stands on privacy, data handling, industry rules and South Australian obligations such as AED requirements. It is not a legal audit. WaTo Consulting reviews policies and IT setup for Adelaide businesses, ranks each gap by risk and can help close them.
What is a regulatory review?
A regulatory review is a practical check of where your business sits against the rules that apply to you: privacy laws, data handling requirements, workplace obligations, industry regulations and newer mandates like South Australia's AED requirements. It isn't a legal audit. We take an honest look at what you're doing well, what's slipped and what needs fixing before it becomes a problem. We translate the obligations into plain language and give you an action plan.
What we cover
Privacy & data handling
How you collect, store and share personal data, checked against the Australian Privacy Principles and current OAIC expectations.
Industry-specific obligations
Regulations particular to your sector (health, finance, aged care, retail or trades) identified and reviewed.
South Australian requirements
State-level obligations including AED compliance, work health and safety, and SA-specific licensing or reporting rules.
Technology compliance
Whether your IT setup meets the security and data-handling standards your regulations demand, such as encryption, access controls and retention.
Gap analysis
A clear list of where you fall short, ranked by risk, so you know what to fix first.
Action plan
Practical steps to close each gap, with timelines and priorities, rather than a shelf report that gathers dust.
Who it's for
- Businesses that haven't reviewed their compliance position in a while and aren't sure where they stand.
- Organisations in regulated industries like health, finance and aged care that need to stay on top of changing rules.
- Anyone who's had a near-miss, a complaint or a breach and wants to get ahead of the next one.
- Adelaide businesses preparing for new obligations like the SA AED mandate or updated privacy sweep requirements.
How it works
- Scoping conversation. We work out which regulations apply to your business, your industry and your location.
- Document and system review. We look at your policies, processes, data handling and IT setup against the relevant rules.
- Gap identification. We map out where you're compliant, where you're not and where the risk sits.
- Plain-English report. You get a clear summary with findings ranked by severity and a practical action plan.
- Help fixing it. We can help implement changes: updating policies, tightening IT controls or setting up new processes.
Why WaTo for regulatory review
- We speak plain English, not legalese, so you'll understand every finding and every recommendation.

- Adelaide owned since 2001, familiar with SA-specific requirements and local business realities.
- Along with the report, we help you fix what needs fixing.
- One team across IT, security and compliance, so you're not bouncing between consultants.
Regulatory review questions
Is this a legal audit?
No. We review your compliance position from a practical and technology perspective. If you need formal legal advice, we'll tell you, but most businesses need the practical gaps found and fixed first.
What regulations do you cover?
Privacy Act, Australian Privacy Principles, SA workplace health and safety, AED requirements, industry-specific rules and data-handling obligations. If something applies to your business, we'll include it.
How often should we do a review?
At least once a year, or whenever regulations change, your business grows significantly or you've had an incident. Things shift quickly, and an annual check keeps you ahead.
Can you help us fix what you find?
Yes. We can update policies, tighten IT controls, set up new processes and train staff, as well as writing the report.
