Navigator: regulatory change management for compliance teams

A full compliance bench for a team of any size.

Navigator watches the rules, tells you which changes matter to your business, and starts the work to update your policies and controls. Run your whole program in Navigator, or connect it to the GRC system you already use. AI does the reading and the first draft. Your people make the decisions, and every one is on the record.

The problem

More rules every year, and someone has to decide what each one means.

01

Too much to read.

Rules, proposals, notices and guidance arrive from dozens of regulators. Finding the few that matter takes most of the week.

02

Hard to judge.

Deciding what applies needs the rule, your business and your policies in view at once, judged the same way every time.

03

Hard to prove.

When an examiner asks who decided what, and why, the trail is rebuilt by hand from email and spreadsheets.

How it works

Map it. Watch it. Prove it.

Map it

Your program, in one place.

  • Your obligations, policies and controls, with version history from draft to approved.
  • Each obligation linked to the controls and policies that cover it.
  • A profile of your business (entity types, jurisdictions, products, frameworks) so Navigator knows what applies.

Watch it

Every change, read for you.

  • A live feed from 150+ regulators, kept as published.
  • Alerts filtered and scored for how much they matter to your business.
  • Applicability judged against your profile, with a plain-language reason.
  • Each change that applies becomes assigned work in one inbox.

Prove it

The answer is ready when someone asks.

  • Every draft cites the rule text it answers.
  • Evidence linked to the tasks and controls it supports.
  • A record of who decided what, and why, that you can export.
  • Audit-ready reports and packages built from the work itself.

A standard Navigator implementation takes about two weeks. Loading more or custom datasets (contracts, controls, policies) extends that.

Automation

Always on

Navigator does the reading, the first read on applicability, and the first draft, so a small team can keep pace without adding analysts.

Collected

New rules, proposals and notices from 150+ regulators, every day.

Scored

Each alert is scored for how much it matters to your business.

Assessed

Facts are pulled, applicability is judged and the impact is mapped.

Drafted

New or updated controls, policies and procedures are drafted and saved for review.

Reminded

Owners get reminders as due dates approach, so work does not sit unnoticed.

Synced

Approved records stay in step with your GRC system, if you use one.

You choose what runs on its own. It stops where you want a person to decide.

Flagship workflow

From regulatory alert to action plan

A regulatory alert lands. Navigator reads it, extracts the facts, decides whether it applies to your business, maps the impact on business areas, processes, controls and policies, and drafts the controls, policies, and procedures to respond. Then your team reviews and approves.

Every decision comes with a plain-language rationale and source citations. Low-confidence calls go to a person.

01

Fact Extraction

Issuer, jurisdiction, dates, rule type and status, pulled automatically from the alert.

02

Applicability Decision

Does it apply to your business? Judged against your organizational profile and obligations.

03

Impact Mapping

Business areas, processes, controls and policies: what's affected and how.

04

Controls, Policies & Procedures

Navigator drafts the new or updated control, policy, and procedure language, each tied to the obligation and its citation, ready for your team to edit and approve.

05

Action Plan

Prioritized recommendations (Critical / High / Medium / Low) with owner role and due-date guidance.

Grounded in the rule text

Why not a general-purpose AI chatbot?

General-purpose AI tools are fast. For regulatory work they invent citations and section numbers, and your team spends more time checking the output than it would take to write it.

Every Navigator answer is read from, and cited to, the actual rule text. Your team reviews a grounded draft and makes the call, starting from a complete page instead of a blank one.

Cited to the source

Every regulatory claim traces back to the section, paragraph and source document, and you can click through to check it.

Reviewed, then decided

With a chatbot, a person has to verify every citation and rebuild what is wrong. With Navigator, the person reviews a sourced draft and decides.

Works with your GRC system, or on its own

Use Navigator as your program of record, or connect it to the GRC system you already run. Approved records flow both ways, so neither side drifts. Either way, you keep one trail of who decided what, and why.

On its own

Hold your obligations, policies, controls and evidence in Navigator. No other system needed.

With your GRC system

Navigator reads, creates and updates records in the GRC system you use, and tracks what is in sync. More systems are added by request.

Trust and security

Trust and security in Navigator

When an auditor asks who decided this and why, the answer is already on the record.

People decide

You choose what runs on its own. It stops where you want a person to decide, and anything going into force needs a person's approval.

Signed records

Every decision is kept as a signed, verifiable record with its rationale and sources. The audit trail is categorized and exportable.

Your data, isolated

Each customer's data is isolated and access is role-based. Evidence files are content-hashed and kept in immutable storage.

Your choice of AI

Use the standard engine, your own AI provider key, or a private deployment.

Proof

Built by people who have run the program.

SureStep has delivered GRC programs for more than a hundred clients since 2009. Navigator is what we built after doing the reading, judging and proving by hand, too many times.

These are SureStep consulting engagements, not Navigator results. Navigator was built from what that work taught us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Navigator

What does Navigator actually do?

Navigator watches 150+ regulatory bodies, every day. It reads each change, says whether it applies to your business, maps the impact on business areas, processes, controls and policies, drafts the new or updated controls, policies, and procedures, and builds a prioritized plan. You choose what runs on its own. It always stops where you want a person to decide, and anything going into force needs a person's approval.

How does Navigator decide if a regulation applies to us?

Navigator reads the regulatory alert, extracts the key facts, and checks applicability against your organizational profile: your entity types, jurisdictions, products, and frameworks. Each decision comes with a plain-language rationale. Low-confidence calls go to a person.

Does Navigator write our controls, policies, and procedures?

Yes. That is the core of the application. When a change applies to you, Navigator drafts the new or updated control, policy, and procedure language, ties each one to the obligation and its citation, and routes it to your team to edit and approve. Nothing is adopted without a sign-off.

Can I use Navigator with my existing GRC system?

Yes. Navigator connects to the GRC system you use, and more systems are added by request. Approved records flow both ways, so neither side drifts.

Do we need a GRC system to use Navigator?

No. Navigator can hold your program on its own, or connect to the one you have.

Is Navigator safe to use in regulated environments?

Every decision in Navigator is reviewable and explainable. You choose what runs on its own, low-confidence calls go to a person, and anything going into force needs a person's approval. The audit trail captures every decision, approval, and change, and you can export it.

How is my data protected in Navigator?

Each customer's data is isolated in a multi-tenant platform. Access is role-based, a complete audit log records every decision, approval, and change, and decisions are kept as signed records. More detail is on our security page.

Can we bring our own AI provider?

Yes. Use the standard engine, your own AI provider key, or a private deployment.

Where does the regulatory content come from?

A verified library built into Navigator. Every answer cites the rule text it came from.

What stops Navigator inventing a citation?

Answers are read from the source and cited to it. Where a citation cannot be matched to the library, the record is flagged as a gap for a person to resolve.

How long does setup take?

A standard implementation takes about two weeks; more or custom datasets extend that. Request a demo and we will talk through yours.
