Compliance & Regulatory

Regulatory change, caught before it catches you.

Healthcare regulation never stops moving. We stand up the monitoring, impact assessment and routing that turns a flood of regulatory updates into a short list of things your team actually needs to do.

The watchlist

Everything we keep an eye on, so you don't have to

Regulatory signal comes from dozens of sources, each on its own clock. We monitor them continuously and surface only what actually touches you.

HHS / OCR

HIPAA enforcement actions, guidance and rule changes.

CMS

Reimbursement, conditions of participation, quality programs.

FDA

SaMD, digital health and medical-device regulation.

ONC

Interoperability, information blocking and certification.

State privacy & health

50-state tracking of privacy and health-data law.

Standards bodies

HITRUST, SOC 2 and NIST framework updates.

Payer policy

Coverage and billing changes that move revenue.

International

GDPR, UAE DHA/NABIDH and other cross-border rules.

Why AST

We already read these rules — for our own builds

Regulatory monitoring from a team that engineers regulated healthcare software, so the impact assessment is grounded in how systems really work.

17+
years close to healthcare regulation

We read these rules for our own builds — monitoring them for you is an extension, not a stretch.

8
source categories watched

Federal, state, standards, payer and international — each on its own clock, all in one place.

24/7
continuous monitoring

Not a quarterly scramble through the Federal Register the week before a board meeting.

1
prioritized worklist

The output isn't more alerts — it's the short list of things that actually need a decision.

The setup

How we stand it up

From mapping the sources that apply to you to a routed, tracked worklist wired into your tools — we build the loop and tune it.

01Source mapping

We map the regulatory sources that actually apply to your products, markets and the data you hold — so monitoring is scoped to you, not the whole world.

  • Applicability analysis
  • Source inventory
  • Jurisdiction scoping
  • Baseline assessment
02Monitoring setup

We stand up continuous monitoring across those sources, tuned to your risk profile so the relevant signal rises and the noise falls away.

  • Continuous feeds
  • Change detection
  • Relevance filtering
  • Alert thresholds
03Impact & routing

Each relevant change is assessed for impact and urgency, then routed to the right owner with a clear action and a due date — not just a notification.

  • Impact assessment
  • Owner assignment
  • Task creation
  • Due dates & tracking
04Workflow integration

We wire the whole loop into the tools your team already lives in — ticketing, GRC, dashboards — so nothing depends on someone remembering to check.

  • Ticketing integration
  • GRC / compliance tools
  • Audit trail
  • Reporting & dashboards
What it does

From firehose to a short, owned worklist

Continuous monitoring

Always-on watching across every source that applies to you.

  • Federal & state feeds
  • Standards & payer
  • International rules
  • No manual checking

Change detection

We catch what changed, and ignore the noise that didn't.

  • Diff & detection
  • De-duplication
  • Relevance filtering
  • Severity tagging

Impact assessment

Every relevant change scored for what it means to you.

  • Applicability check
  • Impact rating
  • Urgency & deadline
  • Affected systems

Routing & ownership

Changes land on a person with an action, not in a void.

  • Owner assignment
  • Task creation
  • Escalation
  • Reminders

Audit trail

A defensible record of who knew what, when, and what they did.

  • Change log
  • Decision record
  • Closure evidence
  • Retention

Dashboards & reporting

A live view for the team and a roll-up for the board.

  • Status dashboard
  • Open obligations
  • Leadership roll-up
  • Audit reports
Who it's for

When the regulatory surface outgrows the team

A lean compliance function, a footprint across many markets, or a product team shipping fast — the common thread is more regulation than people to watch it.

A compliance team in discussion

One or two people covering everything

A small compliance team can't read every Federal Register notice and 50 state legislatures on top of the day job. We do the watching so their judgment goes where it matters.

  • Manual scanning removed
  • Coverage that scales
  • Focus on decisions
  • Fewer blind spots

Across states or borders

Every state and country you operate in multiplies your regulatory surface. We track all of it in one place and tell you which changes touch which market.

  • 50-state tracking
  • Cross-border rules
  • Per-market routing
  • Unified worklist

Shipping faster than the rules

Moving fast means regulation can blindside a release. We give product and compliance a shared early-warning system so change is a heads-up, not a fire drill.

  • Early warning
  • Product + compliance shared
  • Release-time checks
  • Roadmap awareness
The difference

What changes when monitoring stops being manual

The sources are the same. What's different is whether anything reliably happens when one of them moves.

The status quo
Manual monitoring
Someone checks when they remember

A few sources, scanned periodically by whoever has time. It works until the one change you missed shows up in an audit or a customer escalation.

  • Periodic, manual checks
  • Easy to miss a change
  • No impact assessment
  • Lives in one person's head
With AST
Regulatory Intelligence
Continuous, assessed, routed, tracked

Always-on monitoring across every relevant source, with each change assessed, assigned to an owner and tracked to closure — on an auditable record.

  • 24/7 across all sources
  • Nothing slips through
  • Impact + owner + due date
  • Auditable end to end
How a change moves

From a bulletin to a closed task

01
Detect

A change appears in a monitored source.

02
Filter

Is it relevant to you? Most updates aren't.

03
Assess

What's the impact, and how urgent is it?

04
Route

To the owner who can act, with a task.

05
Resolve

Tracked to closure, with evidence captured.

06
Report

Rolled up for leadership and the next audit.

How we run it

Intelligence principles we run by

The convictions that keep this from becoming another inbox nobody reads — and make it the early-warning system it's supposed to be.

A global view of monitored signals

Signal over noise

The goal isn't more alerts — it's the few that matter, with everything else filtered out before it reaches you.

Relevance is everything

We tune to your products, markets and data, so what lands on your desk actually applies to you.

Every change has an owner

An alert with no owner is just anxiety. We route each one to a person, an action and a due date.

Auditable by default

Who knew what, when, and what they did about it — captured on the record, ready for the next audit.

Built into the workflow

Intelligence that lives in the tools your team already uses, not yet another tab nobody opens.

Early, not after

Lead time is the whole point. We surface change while you can still respond calmly instead of reacting late.

Questions

Regulatory Intelligence FAQ

Is this a tool or a service?

Both. We stand up the monitoring, tune it to what applies to you, and run the impact-and-routing loop — integrating software where it earns its place. You get the capability without having to build and babysit it.

How is this different from a regulatory news feed?

A feed gives you everything and leaves the work to you. We add the three things that actually matter: relevance (is this yours?), impact (what does it mean?), and routing (who owns it, by when?) — so you get a short worklist, not a firehose.

Which regulations do you cover?

HIPAA/OCR, CMS, FDA, ONC, state privacy and health law, standards bodies (HITRUST, SOC 2, NIST), payer policy and international rules such as GDPR and UAE DHA — scoped to the ones that apply to your business.

Does this replace our compliance team?

No — it multiplies them. We remove the manual scanning and triage so your people spend their time on judgment and action instead of reading bulletins all day.

Can it feed our GRC or ticketing tool?

Yes. We integrate with the ticketing and GRC platforms you already use, push tasks with owners and due dates, and keep an audit trail of the whole lifecycle.
