A regulatory update lands. An auditor sends a questionnaire. A business team asks whether a policy is still current.
For many compliance teams, each request triggers the same scramble: searching across regulator websites, shared drives, email threads, spreadsheets, and disconnected policy repositories—then piecing together an answer that someone can stand behind.
The challenge is not simply keeping up with more regulations. It is being able to answer, quickly and confidently:
- Which requirements apply to us?
- What evidence demonstrates compliance?
- Where are the gaps, owners, and latest policy versions?
- Can we respond to an audit request without starting from scratch?
Watch the 5-minute demo to see how Diligence brings these workflows into one connected, evidence-based process.
The compliance bottleneck
Compliance obligations rarely stay neatly within one team or one system. Legal may monitor regulatory changes, Compliance may interpret them, operational teams may own procedures and evidence, Investor Relations may support disclosures, and Internal Audit may need a defensible view of controls and documentation.
When these activities are handled through separate tools and manual follow-ups, teams can face:
- Regulatory requirements that are difficult to translate into actionable obligations
- Policies and evidence stored across folders, systems, and business units
- Unclear ownership over remediation and review
- Time-consuming audit preparation built around document searches and email chasing
- Compliance assessments that are hard to substantiate with clear source references
- Limited visibility into what is fulfilled, partially fulfilled, or still outstanding
The result is often a compliance process that is reactive—especially when a regulator, auditor, board member, or business stakeholder needs an answer now.
See the workflow in action
In the demo, you will see how Diligence supports the journey from a regulation to a reviewable, evidence-backed compliance assessment.—from creating a framework and extracting requirements to reviewing evidence, identifying gaps, and preparing audit-ready responses.
Start with the requirements
Instead of interpreting long regulatory texts manually from the beginning, teams can select a structured framework covering areas such as capital markets, cybersecurity, banking, ESG reporting, ISO requirements, and international standards.
Where a framework is not already available, teams can also create one by uploading a regulation or adding a source link. Diligence helps turn complex source material into editable requirements that teams can work with—not just read.
Turn dense rules into practical checklists
Regulatory texts contain different types of statements: mandatory obligations, prohibitions, permissions, definitions, exemptions, and guidance. Treating them all the same makes scoping difficult and can distract teams from what is truly required.
Diligence classifies and structures these clauses so teams can identify the obligations that matter, assign ownership, and build a clearer compliance plan.
Assess policies and evidence—not just documents
Having a policy on file does not necessarily mean the relevant requirement has been addressed. The difficult work is determining whether a policy, procedure, or supporting document actually meets the obligation—and where it falls short.
Diligence reviews internal policies, procedures, and evidence against selected requirements, showing each item as Fulfilled, Partially Fulfilled, or Not Fulfilled. This gives teams a more practical way to prioritise remediation and focus review time where it is needed most.
Keep human judgment in control
Compliance decisions require professional judgment. AI can accelerate the review, but the final assessment must remain transparent, reviewable, and accountable.
For each assessment, Diligence surfaces the rationale, relevant source citations, page references, and identified gaps. Compliance professionals can review, edit, override, and approve findings before they are relied upon internally or shared with stakeholders.
Make audit preparation less disruptive
Audit questionnaires often create a high-pressure search exercise: identify the question, find the right evidence, coordinate with owners, draft an answer, and ensure it is consistent with the organisation’s records.
Diligence helps convert auditor questions into structured requests and generate evidence-backed draft responses from internal documentation. Teams can then review and refine answers, rather than repeatedly rebuilding their response process from scratch.
One connected compliance cycle
Diligence is built for teams managing reporting and regulatory compliance across Legal, Compliance, Investor Relations, Internal Audit, and operational functions.
Rather than introducing another isolated point solution, it connects the work already required across the compliance lifecycle:
- Monitor changing regulatory requirements
- Assess policies, procedures, and evidence against those requirements
- Govern documents, versions, gaps, and ownership
- Report on compliance posture and risk
- Respond with greater confidence when auditors or stakeholders ask questions
Whether you are tracking a single regulation, preparing a disclosure, strengthening policy governance, or coordinating a full audit exercise, the aim is the same: move from fragmented, manual compliance work to a more structured and evidence-based workflow.
