Every guide is organized by obligation — what the regulation requires, what a compliant program contains, where companies slip, and the record each obligation has to produce.
Pick the guide that matches your work. It tells you — in plain language — which written programs you're required to have, what each one has to contain, the common ways companies fall out of compliance, and the records that prove you've done it. If your trade isn't listed, the free assessment builds a gap list from your answers in about ten minutes.

Six questions. At each step you see the controlling CFR section, so you know the rule before you answer. At the end you get a determination you can defend.
This doesn't decide for you. It walks the tree, shows the rule, and records the answers you gave.
