Every entity, every market, one record of what applies.
Multi-jurisdiction regulatory change management: RegWatch reads each entity’s regulators in their own languages, says which entity a change reaches, and keeps local owners on one record.
What a group compliance team sees
Pennaris, a fictional group headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, runs RegWatch on its regulators. This is the alert it received for the Banco Central do Brasil’s regulation of 30 Apr 2026.

How group compliance teams run it
One profile, many entities
The company profile lists every legal entity with its licenses, products and markets. A Brazilian resolution reaches the Brazilian entity with its own reason, and a Mexican circular reaches the Mexican one.
Local language, one working language
Resolutions of the Banco Central do Brasil are read in Portuguese and Banxico circulars in Spanish. Excerpts stay verbatim, and the reasoning is written in English, so group and local teams read the same record.
Local owners, group view
An organization hierarchy mirrors the group: each organization has its own watchlists, owners and dashboard, and owners at the top can work in every organization below.
Group policies and intra-group agreements
RegWatch Legal answers questions across group policies with citations and reviews intra-group and outsourcing agreements across governing laws in one table. Outputs are drafts for professional review.
Questions
Can local teams work in their own space?
Yes. Set up the group as an organization hierarchy: each organization keeps its own watchlists, alerts and owners, and owners at the top carry their access into every organization below them.
Which languages can RegWatch read?
Sources are read in the language they publish in: the Banco Central do Brasil in Portuguese, Banxico in Spanish, China’s MIIT in Chinese. Excerpts stay verbatim, and the reasoning is written in English.
Do we have to replace our GRC platform?
No. RegWatch works alongside it. RegWatch finds the changes that apply to you and explains why; your team assigns owners and records decisions, and RegWatch keeps the evidence and the audit trail. Your GRC platform stays the home of risks, controls and testing, and your decisions reach it by export: the Inbox exports to Excel, and alerts and management reports export as PDFs.
