Responsiv Overview
Responsiv is a regulatory change management platform that tells you when your regulatory posture is out of date. Responsiv analyzes new regulations and notifies you when there’s been an important new rule that you should be aware of. It then takes that regulation and performs a gap analysis on your existing controls, policies, and procedures, suggesting necessary changes. Responsiv addresses the challenge of staying compliant in an increasingly complex and fast-evolving regulatory landscape allowing you to:
- Track your regulatory obligations: Continuously monitor which laws and regulations apply to your organization, ensuring you remain compliant with every requirement.
- Ensure your controls and policies are always up to date: with ongoing gap analyses
- Update your controls and policies with new regulations immediately: by automatically drafting compliance updates based on the latest regulatory guidelines
- Get back to the business faster: by understanding the regulatory context behind a specific situation that may not be covered in existing policies
