The compliance architecture:

Section 1: Why ICG built compliance into the workflow (not as a final check).

Section 2: The 12-point pre-publication checklist (as specified in Article 47 — referenced, not duplicated).

Section 3: The compliance frameworks ICG maintains:

• NMC Section 6 (all content, all clients)
• DCI (all dental clients)
• ART Act 2021 (all IVF/fertility clients)
• Schedule J (cardiac, oncology, diabetes, fertility, psychiatric, dermatological, and other listed condition clients)
• UCPMP 2024 (all pharma clients — pharma practice)
• FSSAI Advertising Regulations (all D2C health, supplement, and nutraceutical clients)
• DMRA Act (all D2C health clients)
• ASCI Code (all influencer marketing engagements)
• DPDP Act 2023 (all clients — data processing and testimonial consent)
• Google Healthcare and Medicines Policy (all paid search and YouTube clients)
• Meta Health and Wellness Advertising Policy (all paid social clients)
• DHA (Dubai) advertising standards (Gulf-active clients)
• AHPRA (Australia-directed content)
• GMC guidance (UK-directed content)

Section 4: The zero-complaint record — what it means and what it doesn't. It means ICG's compliance architecture has prevented formal regulatory action against any ICG client's marketing content. It does not mean no complaints have been considered or threatened — some competitor-filed complaints have been evaluated by relevant authorities and closed without action. The zero formal complaint record reflects the quality of the compliance infrastructure, not the absence of scrutiny.

Section 5: ICG's position on regulatory evolution. The NMC 2026 revision, the DPDP Act implementation, and the progressive UCPMP enforcement are all moving the regulatory bar upward. ICG updates its compliance frameworks in response to regulatory changes, typically within 30 days of a revision being published. Clients are notified of relevant changes that affect their content.
