David I am not a developer nor have I worked in a Software Company
That said if your goal is to be compliant I would suggest your hire someone to review your current
company standards As a long time Pharmacist we were regulated by the State Board of Pharmacy who did
periodic inspections at the Retail Level it was not real serious but when I moved over to a Teaching
Hospital as a Director the review was a lot more rigorous Our HR did not understand anything about
the skills to work in a teaching environment let alone a Hospital If they had a Pharmacy License
that was all that was needed
Paying for a review could give you suggestions that would help in deciding on a outside company or
hiring a full or part time HR person
I have installed a couple of Hospital Systems and am amazed at how BIG Hospitals do not listen to
the talent they have When I suggested to one Hospital CEO they use a Pharmacist to manage the Pharmacy side of the system the IT people wanted my head in the end the CEO went with my recommendation
When I pointed out they lost half a million in billing over 6 months might have had something to do
with the acceptance of my recommendation
My BEST it is great that you reached out to the amazing talent that hangs out here

This depends on what you are thinking an HR person or group will do for your company.
Is this the payroll department, keeping track of hours and salaries and vacation days and benefits?
Is this the person/team responsible for hiring new team members, or at least dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's filing the necessary paperwork?
Is this the person/team that handles disputes between staff members or handling discipline issues when somebody crosses a line?
Knowing precisely what you need will direct you accordingly; just keep in mind that always, always, HR exists to protect the company from its employees.

Not needed here. We have a "take what you need" vacation policy that people use appropriately. We cover all health/vision/dental insurance that falls in our plans. Being generous means we don't have to waste time and resources tracking this, which IMO saves us money in the end.
Is this the person/team responsible for hiring new team members, or at least dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's filing the necessary paperwork?
Hiring is done by me right now - and most of the paperwork is clearly documented so my admin can get it done quickly.
Is this the person/team that handles disputes between staff members or handling discipline issues when somebody crosses a line?
I'm fine handling most disputes, but discipline issues are a concern, especially in our current age of litigious retribution.
Knowing precisely what you need will direct you accordingly; just keep in mind that always, always, HR exists to protect the company from its employees.
A major item for me personally is that if an employee does fall off the rails (has happened a couple times in 16 years), it is helpful to have someone other than the BOSS to talk that employee through their issues and to come to a resolution is just not THE BOSS SAYS SO.

I have a Huawei phone - a P30 Lite - and it's pretty damn good, especially for the price. But ... it's banned from Android updates, though it does have Google Play and all those apps.
But I just had a notification about "Petal Maps" which is the Huawei version of Google maps - so I tried it.
Good grief but it's quick! Much faster to plan a route, plans the route that I'd take (unlike Here WeGo and Google Maps which both recommend long, slower routes), it gives speed limit warnings (like Her WeGo but unlike Maps), it shows roadworks(unlike HereWeGo, but like Maps), and the display moves very smoothly.
I haven't tried it's actual voice instructions yet - I'll do that tomorrow - but so far it's looking like a prime contender to replace Here WeGo which I really like, but ... it's traffic isn't good.
It may report to Beijing every where I go (I dunno, but I'm sure somebody will tell me it does even if it doesn't), but do I care? Not a lot, no

Back in the day I paid for a lifetime subscription to a mapping/traffic service,  then Google maps exceeded their capabilities and was free and now you have found a better tool than maps (and all it does is monetize/politicize your movements) - progress.
As we have barely set foot outside the area in 2 years I see limited use for such an tool.

You should really be more careful! If you happen to go to church or some such, they can probably accuse you of being a drug user. After all, isn't religion the opiate of the masses?

I typically run multiple browser windows with multiple tabs, like a lot. I need therapy. Anyway, my customer has implemented some sort of weird firewall. About 90% of the websites I frequent - Microsoft, hardware stores, etc all report in flaming letters
Quote: Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.lowes.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
Now I'm fairly certain Lowes.com is fine. All of my browsers do this - Opera, Firefox, Chrome... is there some setting I missed? The common theme is that I only see this when I am inside my customer's network. If I fire up my VPN, there are no issues.
Ideas?

Just curious as to why you need access to Lowes.com while working for your customer on your customer's system? Perhaps I did not understand your post.
Perhaps your customer sees you surfing the internet a lot on their network and has restricted non technical sites? Not sure.

Haha, no. I work from home mostly, and Lowes is just an example.
This happens for many technical sites that I reference in my work. Let's say I need to order hardware - microcenter.com fails, newegg.com fails, newark.com fails. microsoft.com passes, but hilariously bing.com does not.

can you have those sites whitelisted?
not sure if black/white lists terms are politically correct these days. Perhaps the "do not block" list?
Every now and then I have to put in a request to have a certain site added to the "okay" list.

Perhaps because his wife called and asked "can you pick that up from Lowes?" and he orders it on the website so he can pick it up on his way home?
Or because something happened and he really needs that thing from Lowes asap.
Or perhaps because he has a five minute break and Lowes is his thing.
Or maybe he has a heated discussion with a coworker who is absolutely certain something is not available at Lowes while he is absolutely certain it is.
There are plenty of reasons why a human being would visit the Lowes website during the day when he's awake and behind a computer.
If you want 8 hours of uninterrupted work in which no personal Lowes matters come up, hire a robot instead.

Is there a proxy on the customer's network?
I have seen this when a proxy exists, and all browsers send their HTTP and HTTPS connections through - if you do this, you have to install a certificate on the proxy. If that certificate does not exist or it is self-signed, you get those kind of warnings.
Which means the "secure" connection is then from local browser to proxy, and the proxy establishes a new secure connection between itself and the actual site. Of course it allows eavesdropping ... anyone with access to the proxy can read all requests/responses in cleartext even if HTTPS. But some companies do this.
