Requirements and policies live apart
Regulatory sources, policies, procedures and control documents are often maintained in separate systems and formats.
RegWatch for Policy Gap Assessment
Turn regulatory change into a focused policy gap assessment workflow.
Compare changing requirements from the monitors your organization selects with existing policies and procedures. RegWatch helps identify areas that may need review, clarification or revision—while keeping ownership, next steps and evidence organized.

Why RegWatch
Policies can fall out of alignment even when monitoring is working.
A change alert is only the beginning. Teams still need to identify affected documents, review potential gaps, assign owners and preserve evidence of follow-through.
Affected documents are hard to identify
Teams may spend significant time deciding which policies or procedures should be reviewed after a change.
Ownership can be unclear
Legal, compliance, security, privacy and business teams may each own part of the analysis or remediation.
Evidence is fragmented
Review notes, approvals, revisions and supporting records can become difficult to reconstruct later.
Monitoring Coverage
Connect selected regulatory change to the documents your organization relies on.
Upload and assign policies when useful. RegWatch helps assess potential gaps against selected monitors; your organization decides applicability and the appropriate response.
Monitor-to-policy mapping
Associate uploaded policies, procedures and related documents with the selected monitors they are intended to support.
Organized change summaries
Review what changed, source links, relevant dates, affected topics and suggested areas for attention.
Potential gap identification
Compare assigned documents with selected changes to identify language, controls or procedures that may require review.
Policy review workflows
Route findings to policy owners, subject-matter experts, legal reviewers and business stakeholders.
Ownership and remediation
Assign next steps, document decisions, track revisions and organize follow-up activity.
Evidence and review history
Keep source materials, assessments, comments, approvals and supporting evidence connected to the change.
Monitor availability and applicability vary by source, jurisdiction and organization. Your team chooses the watchlist it wants RegWatch to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Policy gap assessment connected to the sources your organization selects.
Policy uploads are optional. Add them when your team is ready to connect monitoring with document review.
Request a DemoHow does RegWatch policy gap assessment work?
Your team selects monitors and optionally uploads and assigns policies or procedures. When a selected source changes, RegWatch can compare the assigned documents and identify areas that may require review, clarification or remediation.
Are policy uploads required?
No. Policy uploads are optional. RegWatch can be used for regulatory monitoring and organized change review without uploading documents.
Does RegWatch automatically determine legal compliance?
No. RegWatch identifies potential gaps and review areas based on selected sources and assigned documents. Your organization determines applicability, interpretation and the appropriate response.
What kinds of documents can be reviewed?
Organizations may assign policies, procedures, standards, plans, playbooks and related governance documents when useful. Suitability depends on the document and selected monitor.
Can policy gap assessment support different compliance domains?
Yes. The workflow can be used across the regulatory, standards, licensing and guidance sources your organization selects, subject to available monitor coverage.
Does RegWatch replace legal or subject-matter review?
No. RegWatch provides regulatory intelligence and workflow support. It does not provide legal advice or replace qualified professional judgment.
