A corrective order is an official instruction from a regulator or other authorized body requiring an organization to remedy a compliance problem. It may require changes to a system, process, or control, along with evidence that the fix was completed.
In cybersecurity and AI governance, such an order can follow an inspection or review that identifies inadequate safeguards, documentation, or oversight. For example, an organization might be directed to strengthen access controls, correct a risk-management process, or improve monitoring. Keeping clear records of changes, testing, and responsible owners helps demonstrate that the organization has complied.
