Simplifying Compliance: How Regology Integrates with GRC Platforms like Archer

One of the core issues that many organizations face is the disconnect between external regulatory changes and internal compliance actions. Suppose compliance teams don’t have a centralized way to track, interpret, and act on regulatory updates within their GRC workflows. In that case, they have to track and log updates manually, cross-checking compliance obligations and documenting their decisions across multiple platforms. The outcome? Time-consuming processes, duplicated efforts, and reactive decision making that puts the organization at risk of non-compliance.

The key to solving this challenge is integration—bringing regulatory change updates directly into the GRC framework. With the right integration, every time there is a new regulation or policy update, you don’t have to jump between different screens, manually entering data and checking for conflicts. Instead, you have one interface where data flows seamlessly and updates automatically.  

This is why integrating Regology into GRC platforms like Archer helps solve a common business challenge: connecting external regulatory updates directly to your internal governance, risk, and compliance workflows. This empowers compliance teams to:

  • Stay informed with real-time regulatory updates tailored to their business needs.
  • Receive targeted alerts for changes that require immediate attention.
  • Manage regulatory changes and workflows seamlessly on one interface.
  • Ensure compliance with less manual work and more consistent documentation.

Let’s break down why integrations are so helpful and look at real-life examples.

Why Integrations Matter

They Bring Everything into One Place
With integrations, different tools “talk” to each other, which means all your critical compliance data and alerts can flow into one central system. Instead of juggling several dashboards or constantly switching tabs, compliance professionals get one comprehensive view. This keeps the workflow smooth, reduces the chances of overlooking something important, and saves a ton of time.

They Reduce Manual Work and Human Error
Manual data entry is not only time-consuming, but it’s also a big source of errors. Compliance involves a lot of rules, deadlines, and details that can quickly pile up, and mistakes can be costly. Integrations automate a lot of the repetitive work, pulling data from one system into another accurately. This minimizes the chances of human error and lets teams focus on higher-value work like assessing risks and advising the business on policy changes.

They Help with the Latest Updates
In compliance, staying up-to-date is crucial. New regulations can be introduced overnight, and companies need to act fast to avoid penalties or reputational damage. With integrated systems, teams can receive real-time alerts and updates automatically, ensuring that they’re always working with the latest information. This proactive approach keeps companies ahead of regulatory changes, rather than playing catch-up.

By uniting Regology’s automated regulatory change tracking with Archer’s GRC capabilities, compliance teams can access everything they need in one place. This powerful combination helps organizations save time, ensure accuracy, and respond to changes faster. 

How Regology + Archer Work Together

  • Regology: AI-driven regulatory change management platform with up-to-date, structured content across jurisdictions globally.
  • Archer: Comprehensive risk and compliance management platform, supporting internal controls and risk assessments.

The integration between Regology and Archer offers several transformative features for compliance teams. First, Regology scans government agencies, regulatory bodies, and legislative sources daily to track relevant updates. These updates are then delivered in real time to Archer’s GRC platform, where they are mapped to the organization’s compliance obligations and workflows.

Tailored alerts ensure that only high-impact changes reach the right teams, cutting through the noise and enabling faster, more focused decision making. Regology also includes a horizon-scanning feature, which tracks proposed regulations and legislative trends. This allows teams to anticipate changes before they are finalized, offering a proactive advantage in planning and resource allocation.

Once updates are received, Archer’s platform helps teams document actions, assess risks, and update policies or controls accordingly. The system maintains a comprehensive, audit-ready trail of every decision and change, ensuring organizations are prepared for regulatory inspections without the scramble for last-minute documentation.

Real-life Examples of Integration Benefits

Top 20 U.S. Bank Manages Regulatory Exemptions 

Managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions is a monumental task for any organization, but it becomes even more challenging when resources are limited. For one of the largest banks in the U.S., a lean compliance team was tasked with navigating thousands of regulatory requirements across evolving landscapes. Identifying exemptions was particularly burdensome, requiring extensive analysis and meticulous documentation to avoid missteps.

By integrating Regology and Archer, the bank transformed its approach. Regology’s AI-powered platform and its generative assistant, Reggi, conducted a detailed analysis of the bank’s regulatory obligations, identifying valid exemptions quickly and efficiently. These insights flowed directly into Archer, where the team could map exemptions to their compliance framework, creating a centralized and auditable system for decision-making. The integration didn’t just save time; it reduced manual workloads, improved resource allocation, and provided the team with a unified platform to ensure compliance and accountability.

Leading Cryptocurrency Exchange Stays Agile in a Rapidly Changing Market

The cryptocurrency industry operates in a regulatory environment that changes as quickly as the market itself. For a leading global exchange, keeping up with these changes across multiple jurisdictions was a critical but overwhelming task.

With the Regology-Archer integration, the crypto exchange gained the tools to tackle this complexity head-on. Regology’s automated tracking delivered real-time updates on regulatory changes, while its tailored alerts ensured the right teams within the organization were notified of high-impact updates. Archer acted as the centralized system for managing these changes, streamlining workflows and enabling a quick, coordinated response.

The exchange also leveraged Regology’s horizon scanning feature, which provided early visibility into proposed regulations, giving the team time to anticipate and plan. The integration eliminated the need for manual tracking, maintained detailed, audit-ready records, and freed up resources that the organization redirected toward growth and innovation. 

What Compliance Teams Can Learn

The Regology-Archer integration isn’t just about technology—it’s about solving the real challenges compliance professionals face every day. By centralizing regulatory updates and automating manual processes, this partnership gives teams the tools they need to work smarter, not harder.

Even if your organization isn’t using Regology or Archer, there are key takeaways to consider:

  • Automation is Essential: Seamless integration automates regulatory updates by routing them directly into compliance workflows, reducing manual tasks and the risk of errors. This frees your team to focus on strategic compliance efforts instead of administrative work.

  • Innovation is a Byproduct: When teams are freed from time-intensive manual work, they have more bandwidth to focus on higher-value activities like improving processes or helping drive market innovation. This shifts compliance from being a cost center to an enabler of growth.

  • Proactive Compliance Wins: Staying ahead of regulatory changes through horizon scanning minimizes risk and improves decision making. Horizon scanning offers early insights into proposed regulations, giving the team time to strategize and adapt before changes are finalized.
