MSO Compliance Frameworks: How the Top 10 Multi-State Operators Manage Regulatory Risk
Host: Eric SandySeptember 11, 202561 minflagship★ Featured
Episode Summary
Bob Hoban shares the compliance architecture he has built with leading MSOs — covering state-by-state SOP alignment, real-time regulatory monitoring, legal hold procedures, and how to build an internal compliance team that scales from 3 to 30 states.
Compliance at an MSO is not a department — it is a culture. The operators who treat compliance as a checkbox function will face enforcement. The ones who build it into hiring, training, and incentive structures will outcompete them in every market over a 5-year horizon.
