If you work in a highly regulated industry, you know the logistical headaches that come with regulatory change management.
But when it comes to monitoring state or federal legislative changes, or subsequent updates from the relevant regulatory body, the old adage “work smarter, not harder” rings true. That’s where regulatory change management software come in handy.
At the most basic level, these tools monitor key websites for regulatory updates, and alert you whenever there’s a change. Some, like Visualping, are remarkably easy to get started with, and allow you to customize your monitoring to the exact regulatory web pages and information you care about.
There are plenty of tools out there, each with its own unique digital infrastructure and benefits. But, with the below software tools, working smarter, not harder, is easier than ever.
Here are six of the best regulatory change management software solutions.
Visualping is used by 85% of Fortune 500 companies.
It offers powerful customization features, but you don’t need to be a tech whiz to use it. All you need to do is select the sites you need to monitor, decide how often you want the tool to check them, and provide an email address to receive alerts.
With Visualping, you can track any web page you want on the internet for the legal and regulatory updates you’re after – like updates to state and federal bills and debate, regulatory agency announcements and news articles. You can monitor an entire web page for changes, or select parts of the page you care about.
You set the frequency at which Visualping will check the web page. Get real-time change alerts, or monitor a page every 3 hours, 6 hours, daily – it’s really up to you.
With the keyword alerts feature, you can filter through the noise and only get notified when a certain word or phrase you’re interested in gets added to the page.
Regulatory updates are easy to understand with Visualping. Simply open your email alert to see what’s changed with before-and-after text snippets and screenshots. In your user dashboard, you can go back and review changes, to analyze updates over time.
You can even generate historical change reports across monitored pages, to view many updates in a glance.
One of Visualping’s major advantages is its affordability. Though it may not be as feature-rich or focused on change management as some other tools, it’s an ideal regulatory change management solution for small and midsize businesses.
Visualping for Business offers a free option that lets you monitor up to 100 pages, checking every 15 minutes.
For $600 per year or $50 per month, your business can monitor up to 200 pages every five minutes. You also can purchase monitoring for additional pages or upgrade to a custom plan.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive solution for monitoring compliance, risk, ESG (environmental, social, and global), and audit teams, AuditBoard is the integrated solution you need.
This platform connects your data to give you a comprehensive picture of your company’s risk. That way, your teams can focus on risk management rather than the tedium of regulatory review.
When using this platform, you can select which of the AuditBoard applications you need for regulatory change management. One popular AuditBoard app is RiskOversight, a risk management software that offers visual representations of data and helps you develop action plans as needed.
Visualping makes it easy to get notififcations when a government, legal, or other regulatory web page is updated.
Auditboard is a highly customized monitoring solution that can integrate into your company’s existing cloud structure.
Because it’s so modular and customizable, it doesn’t offer standard memberships, so you’ll need to contact the company for a pricing quote tailored to your particular needs.
Ncontracts is an integrated risk lifecycle solution designed specifically for businesses in the financial sector. It’s somewhat unusual in that it offers a mixture of software and human support — you get unlimited training and support from expert representatives who will answer your call 24-7.
Ncontracts helps you stay audit-ready while offering you a clear picture of potential risk.
Ncontracts is another fully customizable solution, so you’ll need to contact a representative for a pricing estimate.
LogicGate Risk Cloud is a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solution. In other words, it keeps your business secure and on track (in terms of regulatory compliance, finances, and the like). As with many other GRC solutions, it comprises a suite of applications that help you manage risk and communicate across departments.
It can be difficult to select the applications you need, integrate them, and get started, especially if you aren’t technologically inclined. LogicGate can help you get set up to hit the ground running.
LogicGate Risk Cloud uses an a la carte pricing model, meaning you only pay for specific applications and the licenses to run them. If you aren’t sure which applications your business needs, LogicGate’s experts can help you choose.
6clicks is primarily focused on risk and compliance. It’s an easily scalable solution, so it’s a good choice if you anticipate significant growth in your business.
One great benefit is the company’s content library, which lets you instantly import relevant standards, laws, and regulations. You can also download assessment templates and other regulatory change management tools to help you assess and manage risk.
Your entire team can use 6clicks with a single subscription fee. The company offers three different subscription levels: Starter, Growth, and Enterprise. However, you’ll need to request a quote and provide some information about your business to see specific pricing.
Protiviti is a business consulting firm that also offers comprehensive risk-management software.
The group’s regulatory change management solution really stands out when it comes to helping your company make informed decisions about opportunity and risk. It uses a proprietary methodology to discover risk information and compile it into reports for boards of directors and executives.
Because its solutions are highly customizable and are usually combined with business consulting, Protiviti is ideal for larger businesses with complex and ever-changing risk management needs.
Protiviti customizes regulatory change management solutions for your business, so there’s no one-size-fits-all pricing solution. After discussing your company and your objectives, a consultant will be able to offer you a quote.
As you can see, the world of regulatory change management tools is a wide one. Only you can decide which features are critically important for your business and which pricing plans fit your budget.
