Monitor regulatory changes, assess impact, assign actions, and track compliance implementation across your organization.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
Define your regulatory landscape
List the regulations that apply to your business: GDPR, SOX, PCI-DSS, ISO standards, sector-specific rules. Each regulation may need a different monitoring approach.
- 2
Describe the tracker to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a regulatory change tracker with regulations (name, jurisdiction, regulator, effective date), change entries (summary, regulatory reference, effective date, impact level, status), impact assessment per change (affected departments, required actions), and a dashboard showing changes by impact level and implementation status."
- 3
Set up your regulatory register
Enter each regulation you monitor with its name, regulator, and current version. This is your compliance universe.
- 4
Log regulatory changes as they are announced
When you identify a relevant regulatory change, log it with a plain-language summary, the effective date, and an initial impact level (low/medium/high).
- 5
Assign impact assessments
For each change, identify which departments are affected, what actions are required, and who is responsible. Link each action to an owner and due date.
- 6
Monitor implementation status
The dashboard shows outstanding regulatory changes and their implementation progress. Monthly reviews ensure nothing falls behind the effective date.
