Horizon Scanning, Gap Analysis and Evidence in One Place for Compliance Officers

Horizon scanning across too many sources

You are responsible for catching changes across EU, UK, US federal and state, and Australian regulators and legislative trackers, but manually checking dozens of sites and newsletters every week is unsustainable and things slip through.

Knowing which changes actually hit your policies

Spotting that a regulation moved is only half the job. Working out which of your published policies the change touches, and where the wording now needs to flex, is slow manual cross-referencing every time.

Policy gaps you cannot see until an auditor does

You have a stack of policies, but no quick, repeatable way to measure how well each one actually covers the underlying law, so gaps surface during an audit or regulator request rather than before.

Evidence and audit trail scattered everywhere

When a regulator, auditor or the board asks how a decision was reached and who approved it, the answer lives across email threads, shared drives and spreadsheets, and reconstructing it eats days you do not have.

Keeping registers current with a lean team

RoPA, the risk register, controls, incidents, DPIAs, cookies, assets and vendors all need to stay live and consistent, but maintaining them by hand across a small team means they drift out of date between reviews.

Turning the work into a board-ready story

Leadership wants a clear, defensible view of regulatory exposure and what you are doing about it, and assembling that picture from raw monitoring and register data by hand before every board meeting is a recurring scramble.

Watcher weekly-monitors the regulators and legislative trackers that touch you across EU, UK, US federal and priority states (CA, CO, IL, MA, NY, TX) and Australia, then drafts a source-linked digest of what changed. Every item carries its citation so you and your counsel can verify it rather than take it on trust.

When a monitored change hits a policy you have published, Watcher prepares a DOCX redline in track-changes showing the suggested wording, ready for your review. It never auto-applies anything to a regulator or your live policy; you and your counsel decide what to accept.

Assessor scores your uploaded policies against the law and corpus and shows each obligation as missing, partial or covered with an overall gap score, so you can find and prioritise weak spots before an auditor or regulator does, and re-run it as your policies evolve.

The GRC Workspace gives you the registers your programme runs on, including RoPA and processing activities, a risk register with a 5x5 matrix, a controls library, incidents, DPIAs, cookies, assets and vendors, all maintained together so a lean team can keep them consistent.

A review and approval workflow, tickets and dashboards capture who decided what and when, giving you the evidence trail a regulator, auditor or your board will ask for without reconstructing it after the fact.

The dashboards pull your monitoring, gap scores and register status into a current view of regulatory exposure and remediation progress, giving you a grounded starting point for the board pack instead of assembling it from scratch each cycle.

Profiler crawls your website and classifies your policies to draft your compliance profile for your counsel to review and edit, and the Privacy Inspector toolkit scores vendor and third-party risk and reconciles your privacy notice against your registers, surfacing mismatches across your vendors.
