AscentHorizon? provides a streamlined, consolidated view of all regulatory changes from around the world that directly impact your business, saving your compliance and risk teams countless hours of manual effort.
AscentFocus?

Identify and analyze regulatory obligations
Ascent RLM extracts individual obligations from oceans of regulatory text, and turns those obligations into relevant, accurate current-state regulatory requirements.
Automate change management
Take immediate action on new and updated obligations—without spending hours sifting through regulatory PDFs. Side-by-side views of old versus new rules allow users to pinpoint applicable changes quickly, evaluate the potential impact, and pass relevant changes to policy owners.
Establish digitized linkage to policies and controls
Automate your internal response to regulatory changes by connecting your obligations to your organization’s compliance environment or GRC tool. Drive regulatory change management to policy owners with a complete audit trail.
