ChangeGuard

Compliance officers, licensing teams and in-house counsel

Regulatory change monitoring: Know when a regulator changes a rule, a fee or a deadline.

Rules, guidance and fee schedules change on agency sites without notice, and the people who answer for them find out from a client.

One set per regulator, the changed wording quoted in the email, and past versions kept.

What a check caught

Office of Foreign Assets Control · Recent Actions (opens the page in a new tab)

A new sanctions action was posted.

OFAC's actions usually take effect the day they are posted, so a compliance team needs to know that day.

How ChangeGuard helped

  • Keywords. This set is watched for “Russia”, “Iran” and “general license”. The new action names two of them, so it was flagged; OFAC posts that mention none of them stay out of your inbox.
  • Comparison. Only the two new lines are marked. The older actions moving down a place is not counted as a change.
  • AI summary. Gives the action's full title and its date, so you know what OFAC issued before you open its site.
A new action was posted on September 18, 2026: “Expiration of Emergency With Respect to the Situation in Ethiopia; Ethiopia-related Designations Removals; Issuance of Amended Russia-related General License and Associated Frequently Asked Questions”. The rest of the list moved down one place. Drag the divider to see the previous version.

Office of the Federal Register · Microbiology Devices; Reclassification of Hepatitis B Virus Assay Devices (opens the page in a new tab)

Comment period extended by a month.

A month more to comment, and only the people who check the page know they have it.

How ChangeGuard helped

  • Comparison. The date changed in two places, the DATES section and the filing instructions further down, and both are marked, so you can check the page agrees with itself.
  • Category. Filed under “date deadline”, so a moved due date stands apart from a reworded paragraph.
  • Keywords. Watched for “comment” and “effective date”, the words a proposed rule's dates are written in. This change is about comments, so it was flagged.
  • AI summary. Says how long the extension is and gives both dates, so the comment letter can be planned from the email.
The comment period on this proposed order was extended by a month: comments are now due by November 25, 2024, instead of October 25. Drag the divider to see the previous version.

What ChangeGuard does

  • One set per regulator, checked daily or hourly, with a round-up in your inbox each morning.
  • Every change comes with a summary and a rating, so a new deadline outranks a reworded footer.
  • Keywords catch the terms you answer for: a fee, a form number, an effective date, a product name.
  • Every check spots the new PDFs, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets a page links to, with their titles and dates. A form or a guidance document re-issued under the same link is flagged when its date changes.
  • Past versions of the page are kept, so you can show what it said before the change.

Questions

Questions people ask

Which agencies can it watch?

Any public page you can open in a browser: federal and state agencies, regulators abroad, and the guidance, fee and notice pages they publish. Add the page's address and choose how often it is checked.

Does it read the PDFs an agency posts?

It lists each new PDF, Word document or Excel spreadsheet the page links to, with its title and the date it was first seen. Keywords match the page's text and the documents' names, not what is written inside a PDF.

How often does it check?

Once a day on the Free plan. From Starter up, a page can be checked as often as every hour.

Can it tell a real change from a reshuffle?

Text that only moved is shown as moved, and formatting changes, like spacing, punctuation or capital letters, are rated minor. Everything else gets a short summary and a rating: likely substantial or likely minor.

Is it regulatory change management software?

It does the watching, often called horizon scanning: it checks the pages of the regulators you follow, sums up each change and rates how much it matters, and your team works through the changes in one shared review queue. Deciding what a change means for your own policies stays with you.
