One record per rule, from horizon to in force.
Regulatory intelligence for regulatory affairs: RegWatch reads agencies, standards bodies and legislators in their own language, places each change on its lifecycle, and puts consultation closes and effective dates on one calendar.
Trackers go stale the day after they are updated.
Regulatory affairs teams keep trackers of consultations, draft standards and effective dates by hand, market by market. The tracker is out of date the moment an agency publishes, and the reasoning behind each status lives in someone’s head.
- Agencies, standards bodies and official journals each publish differently.
- Consultation windows close while the tracker waits for an update.
- Native-language publications are read late, or in someone else’s summary.
- Status changes leave no reasoning behind them.
Read on schedule
The monitor agent reads each source on your watchlist on schedule, keeps the verbatim excerpt, and sets aside what doesn’t apply, with the reason.
See where each rule stands
Each alert carries its lifecycle stage, from Horizon and Consultation to In force and Repealed, with the effective date, deadline or consultation close as a dated badge.
Work to the calendar
Consultation closes, effective dates, filings and reviews sit on one calendar, so no comment window closes unseen.
What you get
Standards bodies and agencies
Follow ICH, UNECE WP.29, FATF or the Basel Committee beside national agencies and official journals, in one watchlist.
Original-language reading
Chinese national standards, Portuguese resolutions and Spanish circulars are read as published. Excerpts stay verbatim, and the reasoning is written in English.
Lifecycle stages
Every alert is placed on the rule’s lifecycle: Horizon, Proposal, Consultation, Adopted, In force, Amended, Sunset, Repealed.
Consultation tracking
Consultation papers arrive with the close date as a deadline, so the team can decide in time whether to respond.
Reasoned relevance
Each alert explains why it applies to your products, entities or markets, and publications that do not apply are set aside with a reason.
Digests for stakeholders
Send each watchlist’s alerts to the people who need them, filtered by minimum urgency, as an email body or a PDF attachment.
Compliance Assistant
Ask what changed in a market this quarter, and get an answer that cites the alerts behind it.
Questions
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.
Can we follow consultations before they become rules?
Yes. Consultation papers, proposals and discussion papers are tracked like final rules, with the close date on the calendar and the lifecycle stage on the alert.
How is this different from ChatGPT or a news feed?
ChatGPT answers a question when you ask one, and a news feed lists what was published. RegWatch is a system of record for regulatory change. It reads the sources you choose on a schedule and keeps every finding with its source, its dates and the original text. It explains which changes apply to your business and why, and records what your team did about each: the owner, the obligation, the evidence and every decision. When an auditor asks what you knew and when, the answer is already on file.
How fast can we start?
After the demo, the onboarding agent drafts your company profile from your website and a short brief, then suggests jurisdictions, topics and sources. Your team confirms them, invites colleagues and sets each watchlist’s schedule. The first alerts arrive after the first run, which you can start on demand.
