Regulatory change management software for law firms automates the tracking of agency websites, rulemaking pages, and published guidance for material changes — ensuring your practice groups stay current on regulatory developments without dedicating attorney time to manual monitoring cycles.
Manual compliance monitoring — assigning attorneys or paralegals to check specific URLs quarterly or monthly — has three fatal flaws. First, material changes frequently occur between review cycles. Second, the burden of comprehensive monitoring grows faster than attorney capacity. Third, there is no audit trail proving what was reviewed and when.
DriftPatrol solves all three: continuous automated monitoring of every URL in your watchlist, weekly delivery of only material changes (not noise), and a full timestamped change log that documents your monitoring program for audit or litigation purposes.

Effective change management requires continuous monitoring — not periodic reviews — because regulatory updates can occur without formal advance notice.
The answer depends on your practice areas. Common targets include: SEC, CFTC, CFPB, FTC, FDA, EPA, DOJ, OSHA, state attorneys general offices, and relevant industry-specific regulators. DriftPatrol can monitor any publicly accessible URL at any regulatory agency.
