What began as a shift in enforcement priorities when President Donald Trump took office for the second time in January 2025 has cascaded into a systemic realignment, touching everything from foreign bribery to compliance with export controls to sustainability disclosures and human rights obligations. The new landscape presents some challenges for compliance teams, but also a needed nudge to update rapidly aging risk assessments performed during the pandemic in the early 2020s and recalibrate their compliance priorities. This second article in a four-part series unpacks the specific areas on which companies should focus when reassessing their risk. The first article laid out how the basics of risk assessments have changed in recent years. Future articles will explore when companies should undertake a risk assessment, who should be involved and how to incorporate technology into the mix.
