      How to Manage Regulatory Change (RCM)

      A streamlined workflow for identifying, analyzing, and tracking regulatory triggers using AI-Copilot.

      The Regulatory Change Management (RCM) process in SGS Digicomply allows you to effectively identify and control regulatory triggers that may impact your business. By combining automated Data Feeds with AI-Copilot analysis, you can boost operational efficiency and maintain a complete audit log of your compliance decisions.

      The Workflow at a Glance

      The process operates in three integrated steps:

      1. Identify: Extract pertinent posts from your Data Feeds.

      2. Analyze: Engage with AI-Copilot to distill vital information (deadlines, pivotal terms, business implications).

      3. Action: Populate this data into a Regulatory Change Trigger (RCT) record to track its lifecycle.

      _____________________________________________________________________________

      1. Analysis with AI-Copilot

      Start from a Search result page or your dedicated Data Feed. Open a document you need to analyze.

      • Generate Abstracts: Use AI-Copilot to provide an instant abstract outlining the key relevant points of the document.

      • Ask Specific Questions: You can ask the AI questions relevant to your business logic,   such as:

        • "What is the deadline for implementing this regulation?"

        • "What is the impact for [specific product type]?"

      • Pin Insights: These AI-generated insights can be pinned directly into a Dossier to enrich your content.

       

      2. Creating a Regulatory Change Trigger (RCT)

      Once you identify a regulation that requires action, you create a Regulatory Change Trigger (RCT). This record serves as the central hub for that specific issue.

      • Classification: Classify the RCT according to Impact, Stage and Priority.

      • Customization: If the default fields do not match your workflow, you can customize properties using the Property Management page.

      Note: If this feature is not enabled on your account, please contact support.

      • Evolution: An RCT is not static. Within each record, you can add as many references as needed. For example, an RCT might start as an "Early Signal" when public authorities discuss a change, and evolve into a "Mainstream" stage when the regulation becomes effective.


      3. Collaboration & Task Management

      License Requirement:

      Collaborative sharing and task management features require a Team Edition license. Please contact support if you need to upgrade.

       

      Throughout the lifecycle of the RCT, you can involve various stakeholders to ensure nothing is missed.

      • Assign Tasks: specific users to the RCT to ensure ownership.

      • Set Deadlines: specific dates for assessments or implementation.

      • Comment: Communicate with peers directly inside the record.

      4. Visualizing Progress (Dashboards)

      Once your RCT library is established and maintained, you can manage the big picture using Dashboards.

      • Track Status: Use visual charts to monitor the volume of triggers by Stage, Impact, or Topic.

      • Geographic View: Visualize impacted markets on the map.

      • Export: Data feeds and records can be exported for offline usage or reporting.

      What is an RCT?

      A Regulatory Change Trigger is a data signal - such as a government announcement, legal verdict, or industry trend - that indicates a potential shift in the regulatory environment. RCTs act as an early warning system, enabling organizations to anticipate new requirements and take proactive measures to ensure compliance and minimize operational risk.
