Automated regulatory compliance: Stay ahead of change, effortlessly
At a glance
Automated regulatory compliance reduces manual effort by managing monitoring, routing, and reminders while preserving human oversight for key decisions.
Centralizing updates, assigning ownership, and maintaining audit-ready evidence trails help organizations stay compliant amid constant change.
A hybrid model (automation plus human oversight) balances scalability, trust, and accuracy better than manual or fully automated approaches.
Moxo enables this balance with AI review agents, automated workflows, audit trails, and secure, compliance-ready controls.
Why organizations are shifting to automated regulatory compliance
Regulatory change is accelerating across industries. Financial services firms must adapt to evolving know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) standards. Healthcare organizations adjust to new HIPAA interpretations and data-sharing rules. Accountants face strict filing deadlines and audit preparation requirements.
Relying on manual oversight in this environment creates unnecessary risk and inefficiency. Emails are missed, spreadsheets become outdated, and documents get scattered across systems. By adopting automated compliance workflows, organizations can capture regulatory changes, route them to the right owners, and maintain audit-ready evidence without drowning in manual work.
Why regulatory compliance is harder than ever
In an era of constant change, staying on top of regulatory compliance has become a critical challenge for businesses. The landscape is more complex than ever, and failing to keep up can have serious consequences. Here's why navigating regulatory compliance is harder than ever:
Rising volume and complexity: organizations are swamped with overlapping requirements from regulators, industry bodies, and internal governance teams. The sheer volume and intricacy of these rules make manual tracking a significant burden.
Global regulatory divergence: for companies operating internationally, navigating different and sometimes conflicting regulations across various jurisdictions adds another layer of complexity. What's compliant in one country might not be in another.
Limitations of manual processes: manual systems are prone to human error and create dangerous blind spots. Missed deadlines, lost reminders, incomplete attestations, and fragmented files can easily undermine your compliance efforts and confidence.
Lack of centralized visibility: without a unified system, it's difficult to get a clear, real-time overview of your organization's compliance status, making it nearly impossible to proactively manage risk.
The high stakes of failure: the risks go far beyond financial penalties. Regulatory fines can be severe, but the reputational harm from a compliance breach can be even more difficult to repair.
Operational inefficiency: non-compliance isn't just a legal risk; it's a drain on resources. It wastes valuable staff hours on remediation, creates internal bottlenecks, and can delay customer service, impacting the bottom line.
Different approaches to regulatory compliance management
Navigating regulatory compliance can be complex, and how you manage it directly impacts efficiency and accuracy. Let's explore the different approaches to regulatory compliance management:
Manual oversight only
Relies solely on human diligence. While flexible, it's not scalable, leading to teams spending excessive hours on document tracking and approval verification.
Automation without human judgment
Creates efficiency, but automation alone struggles with interpreting nuanced regulations that require human context.
Hybrid approach (automation with human oversight)
Combines automation for tasks like intake, routing, and reminders with human reviewers making critical decisions. This model ensures efficiency without compromising trust or accuracy.

Automating sources of regulatory change intake
Regulatory updates arrive from regulators, associations, or internal policies. Centralizing these updates ensures none are overlooked.
With automation, each new regulation triggers a workflow for review. Instead of managing changes across emails and spreadsheets, businesses get a structured process.
Example: A financial institution uploads a new compliance guideline. A workflow automatically routes it to the compliance team for review and action.

Routing and assigning compliance ownership
Assigning responsibility ensures accountability. Each regulation must have a clear owner, whether a compliance officer, legal counsel, or department lead.
Automation routes tasks directly to the right individual with deadlines and escalations. This eliminates delays caused by unclear responsibility.
Example: A healthcare update is assigned automatically to the compliance officer, with reminders until completion.

Automating attestations and training acknowledgments
With automation, each new regulation or policy update automatically triggers a predefined workflow for review and action. This eliminates the manual, error-prone process of tracking changes across disparate emails, spreadsheets, and shared drives. Instead, businesses gain a structured, auditable process that enhances efficiency and accountability.
Key benefits of automating this intake process include:
Real-time visibility: Instantly know when new regulations or changes are published.
Reduced manual effort: Free up compliance teams from tedious data entry and tracking.
Improved accuracy: Minimize human error associated with manual aggregation and categorization.
Consistent triage: Ensure every update is routed to the correct subject matter experts for review and impact assessment.
Audit trail: Maintain a clear, chronological record of all incoming changes and their initial handling.
Example: When a financial institution receives a new compliance guideline, the automated system immediately captures and categorizes it. It then routes the guideline to the relevant compliance team members and legal department for review, impact assessment, and the initiation of any necessary policy or procedural changes, all while logging every step of the process. This proactive approach ensures timely adaptation to regulatory shifts.
