Why RegWatch
Information-governance requirements cut across systems, formats and business functions.
Records obligations may arise from statutes, regulators, contracts, litigation, privacy rules and industry requirements. RegWatch organizes the selected sources your team follows into a consistent review process.
Multiple formats and systems
Email, chat, collaboration tools, databases, paper files and cloud platforms can each require different controls.
Retention versus preservation
Routine disposition may need to pause for litigation holds, investigations, audits or regulator requests.
Distributed record ownership
Legal, privacy, IT, security, HR, finance and business teams may each own records and related evidence.
Monitoring Coverage
Build a watchlist around your records, systems and operating obligations.
Select the federal, state, local, contractual and industry sources relevant to your information environment. Available coverage depends on the monitors selected.
Recordkeeping and retention
Selected requirements for creating, maintaining and retaining business, regulatory and operational records.
Disposition and destruction
Selected retention schedules, disposition authorities, deletion rules and secure-destruction requirements.
Legal holds and preservation
Selected preservation duties, litigation-hold guidance, investigation requirements and electronically stored information topics.
Electronic communications
Selected email, text, chat, social-media, collaboration and communications-record requirements.
Privacy and data minimization
Selected privacy, deletion, data-minimization, access and documentation requirements that intersect with retention.
Public and industry records
Selected public-records, sector-specific documentation, audit-trail and regulator-access requirements.
Monitor availability and applicability vary by source, jurisdiction and organization. Your team chooses the watchlist it wants RegWatch to follow.
