Regulators publish guidance, enforcement notices and consultations on their own websites, often without a feed that covers the specific page you care about. WebsiteChange gives compliance teams regulatory change monitoring at the page level: you choose the regulator and agency pages that apply to your business, and every real change arrives as a short summary in a digest, with a dated screenshot kept for the record.
A compliance analyst with twenty bookmarks can keep up for a while. Then a guidance page gets a new paragraph in the middle of a long document, a comment deadline is extended in a sidebar, or an enforcement list gains three entries during a holiday week. Nobody notices until a peer mentions it. The issue is not effort, it is that a human cannot compare long pages against yesterday's version reliably.
Every industry has its own set of authorities, at national, state and sometimes city level. The page types are similar across them.
Take a simple case. An agency adds a new question to its guidance FAQ explaining how an existing rule applies to a new product type. A monitor on that FAQ catches it the next morning and summarizes it as "New question 14 added on treatment of subscription renewals; clarifies notice timing", scored high importance.
Regulator pages are long and often heavy with navigation, so a few settings make a large difference.
The full set of options is described on the website change detection page.
After noise is filtered, an AI model writes a short summary of each real change and scores it low, medium or high. A fixed link or a reformatted heading scores low. A new requirement, a changed deadline or a new enforcement entry scores higher. Your digest can include everything, with high importance items first, or only medium and high.
Most teams receive a daily email digest and review it as part of the morning routine. On Business and Enterprise, digests can be set per team, so financial compliance, privacy and product compliance each see only their own regulators. Urgent items can also go instantly to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel. See notify when website changes for routing ideas.
Every version is stored with its capture date, the page text, the HTML structure and a full-page screenshot. You can search past versions, compare any two dates, export the history as CSV, and on Growth and up produce a PDF change report for a quarterly compliance review. History is kept 6 months on Starter, 2 years on Growth, 5 years on Business and without a limit on Enterprise. This pairs well with monitor terms of service changes, which covers the vendor side.
WebsiteChange reads publicly reachable pages only, follows robots.txt, and does not log in, solve CAPTCHAs, or get past paywalls and access controls. Pages behind a registered portal are outside what WebsiteChange monitors. Requests are spaced per host, which matters on government sites. WebsiteChange records what a page showed and when; it does not tell you what a change requires of your business and is not legal advice.
No. It watches the exact pages you choose and reports what changed. Analysts and counsel still decide what each change means.
Yes. Any publicly reachable page can be monitored, wherever the regulator is based.
As fast as your schedule. Daily checks suit most regulator pages; Growth plans check as often as every 15 minutes when timing matters.
Yes. On Business and Enterprise, give them a seat with a limited role, or export CSV on any plan and a PDF change report from Growth up.
Paste one regulator page into the demo to see the first snapshot, then add the rest of your list on a plan.
