Regulatory watch: track changes, decide, and leave a trail

Delegated acts, guidance, harmonised standards and national implementation — a change register on its own page: assess relevance, record the decision, and turn planned actions into scheduled reviews.

Updated Veritome documentation

Regulatory watch is the regulatory-change register, on a page of its own. It is not a rail entry: open it from the Dashboard's Regulatory watch panel (Open the watch →), or from a regulatory signal in Aria's Inbox. Tracking changes to the law is part of the law, not of the standards, so the page is there whether or not any standard is switched on.

The EU AI Act is not finished — delegated acts, Commission guidance, harmonised standards and national implementing laws keep arriving, and Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 has already moved its dates once — and an auditor will eventually ask not just "did you notice?" but "what did you decide, and when?".

The register

Three counts — Open changes, Signed off, Tracked total — sit above the Change register. Each entry is one regulatory development: what it is, its source, the date, and your assessment, with one of four statuses — Assess · Action planned · Signed off · Dismissed:

  • Relevance — does it touch your systems, your role, your sector?
  • Decision — no action, monitor, or action required, with the reasoning recorded.
  • Planned action — when action is required, name the system and a due date and press Schedule review; the action becomes a scheduled review with an owner, and its completion appends a dated entry to the dossier trail like any other review.

That last step is the point: a regulatory change that requires action leaves the register and enters the same tracked, audited machinery as the rest of your compliance work — it cannot quietly rot in a "we should look at this" list.

Feeding the register

Latest regulatory signals lists what the tracked EU feeds have published — the Official Journal, the AI Office, the Data Protection Commission, the EDPB — and one press promotes a signal into the register. Tracked sources shows which feeds are live. Add entries by hand as your team spots developments elsewhere. A signal can also arrive in Aria's Inbox as a proposal to bring affected due dates forward, or to file it here; either is applied only when you approve it. Aria can summarise a development against your portfolio, but the relevance decision is yours, and the register records that a human made it.

  • Dates and deadlines: the Obligations timeline — where the resulting dates surface.
