The part of the sentence before the comma is the dependant clause and cannot stand alone. The part of the sentence after the comma is the main clause and makes sense on its own. As given, with the dependent clause first, a comma a commonly used. If the main clause is first then a comma is not needed. Commas are tricky things. If you left that comma out in that sentence above it would not alter the meaning, or cause confusion. However, in some cases the comma is essential to clarify meaning.

Although I don't think the comma is necessary.
