New and Enhanced Features on Compliance.ai: August 2022
September 26, 2022
At our annual EITL Forum event in Sept 2022, we provided a sneak peek at our BYOC solution. Additionally, over the past month, we have added features that help you further research and evaluate regulatory changes collaboratively, including a recent innovation on our “Related Documents” capability and extending our Concepts capabilities.
We also continued enriching our regulatory coverage and our resource content (also known as law library), most notably new content and regulatory updates for banking, insurance, employment, privacy, taxation, and the securities industries from US state regulators. We have also expanded our coverage from international sources from Argentina, Australia, EU, British Virgin Islands, Germany, China, Hong Kong, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
Introducing Bring Your Own Content (BYOC): Bridging the gap between RCM and PCM
BYOC helps organizations automatically “associate/relate” regulatory changes to enterprise policies.
Compliance, Risk and Legal team members can now extend their RCM to Policy Change Management (PCM).
BYOC addresses the inefficiencies in processes including reviewing / assigning / mapping organizational policies to regulatory changes, and maintains the link between regulatory updates and policies on an ongoing basis. The status quo approaches have proven to be manual, costly, time-consuming and error-prone. With BYOC, you are not only alerted/notified of changing regulations that impact your business, but also notified of regulatory changes that impact your business policies. BYOC makes it easy to take action and report on such changes in short order, on a repeatable and scalable basis.

Speed up your Regulatory review using our dynamic “Related Documents” capability
We know that understanding the relation between newly published regulatory changes and pre-existing content requires collaboration and up-to-date context. With that in mind, we’ve enhanced our “Related Documents set by Organization” capability to enable you to relate documents dynamically by alerts. As soon as a new document that matches your alert criteria becomes available in the Compliance.ai platform, it’s automatically associated with key regulatory documents specified by you and your colleagues.
Once you’ve added related documents, additional context is just a click away for you and your colleagues. This dynamic capability removes the need to manually associate/relate new regulatory changes one by one. Saving you time and setting you up for scale.
Review our informational video to learn more about how you can leverage Related Documents including the new dynamic alert feature.
Improve your regulatory change review using our integrate Concepts
We not only continue to add new concepts (designed to help you research global regulatory trends along business and operational lines) to our concept library, but we have also made it easier to leverage concept information in search and regulatory change review.
Once you select the concepts of interest within the Topics Default Filter, they are automatically added to your search when you access the Timeline or conduct your own searches.
All concepts associated with regulatory changes are listed in the Details right panel, giving you higher visibility to assess the potential impact of a regulatory change before you review the entire document. For a list of all Concepts provided by Compliance.ai, please check out our Concept documentation on developer.compliance.ai.
