English translation:having to give rise to
Explanation:
Devant: a gerund translatable as having.

Donner lieu: to give rise to something.

I would probably change the structure of the sentence because the use of the gerund here is common in French but is a slightly forced construction in English (in my opinion).

You might like to say something like 'which have to give rise to' or 'which must give rise to' or something else according to the rest of the sentence. Without the full meaning I feel unable to suggest the best possibility.

may entail (require)


Explanation:
...may entail/require the signing of a new compliance report....

Phrases with "donner" and "mettre" are really tricky to translate (think of all those "mise en..."), however I believer "entail" is what you are looking for here:
