Definition: On the REG Network, a Business Connection refers to an established, mutual link between two organisations, like a connection on LinkedIn. When one party sends a connection request and the other accepts, a business connection is formed.
This connection enables secure, permission-based access to sensitive regulatory and compliance information that is not publicly visible.
Why We Use the Term "Business Connection":
We use the term Business Connection to emphasise the professional and reciprocal nature of the relationship. It highlights that access to key documents, such as PII Certificates, self-certifications, and other compliance-related statements, is only granted once a formal business connection is in place, ensuring that sensitive information is shared responsibly and securely.
