Legislative and regulatory tracking software, explained
Legislative tracking software keeps you informed of new laws, amendments, and policy changes across the markets you operate in. Maiven does this for 1 million+ policy documents across 200+ jurisdictions, with real-time alerts, version tracking, and business-specific impact analysis on every change.
Most teams find out about a regulation that affects them in one of three ways: a colleague forwards a news article, an external counsel sends an alert, or an auditor raises a finding. None of these are early enough to plan a response. Legislative tracking software exists to give you the news first, in context, with enough detail to do something useful with it.
The platforms that work share four things. They monitor primary legislation and secondary rules, not just one or the other. They track amendments and versions over time, so you can answer audit questions about what was in force when. They filter alerts to your business so you are not drowning in noise. And they explain what each change means in language a non-lawyer can act on.
Maiven was designed around those four. We track legislation across global markets, keep version history on everything you save, filter alerts using the business profile you set up with us, and generate business-specific impact analysis for each change. All of it is reviewed by our policy experts before it reaches you.
How Maiven tracks regulation
Coverage that follows your business, not the other way round
Maiven monitors policy across 200+ jurisdictions, including the EU, UK, North America, APAC, LATAM, and emerging markets. Choose the markets that matter to you; we track 1 million+ policy documents in those markets daily.
Real-time alerts filtered to what matters
Every alert is filtered against your business profile. You see new statutes, amendments, draft bills, and consultations relevant to your sectors and topics, and we leave the rest out.
Version tracking so you know what changed
When a regulation you are following is updated, Maiven flags the new version and shows what is different. You see the substance of the change, not just that one occurred.
Business-specific impact analysis on every change
For each tracked rule, Maiven generates an analysis of the risks, costs, and opportunities for your business, written in plain language and grounded in your company context.
Ask questions and get fact-checked answers
The AI Policy Advisor answers questions about any tracked rule. Every quote is verified against the source legislation, so you can use the answer in a board paper.
A shared workspace for your team
Tracked policies, deadlines, decisions, and notes live in shared workspaces. Legal, compliance, and sustainability work from the same source of truth and keep institutional knowledge as people change roles.
Maiven and the rest of the market
FiscalNote and PolicyNote do US legislative tracking well, especially at the state and federal level. Maiven is global by default and built for compliance and sustainability teams as well as government affairs.
DeHavilland is strong on UK and EU public affairs and Westminster intelligence. Maiven is broader in scope, covering primary legislation and regulatory rulemaking globally, and translates each change into a business-specific impact analysis.
Compliance.ai and Regology focus on US financial services and life sciences. Maiven is sector-agnostic and global, with deeper coverage of sustainability and ESG-adjacent regulation that those platforms do not prioritise.
Common questions
What is legislative tracking software?
Legislative tracking software is a platform that watches lawmaking and rulemaking across the jurisdictions you choose, then notifies you when something changes that affects your business. The best platforms cover both primary legislation and secondary rules, track amendments and versions over time, and explain in plain language what each change means for you.
How is legislative tracking different from regulatory intelligence?
Legislative tracking is the input; regulatory intelligence is what you do with it. Tracking tells you a rule has changed; intelligence tells you what to do about it. Maiven does both. We track new laws and amendments globally, then translate each one into a business-specific impact analysis your team can act on.
Does Maiven cover both primary legislation and secondary rules?
Yes. Maiven monitors 1 million+ policy documents across 200+ jurisdictions, including primary statutes, secondary legislation, draft bills, and supporting policy material. Our coverage spans the EU, UK, North America, APAC, LATAM, and emerging markets.
Can Maiven track when a regulation is amended?
Yes. Maiven tracks the version history of every policy you save. When a rule you have been monitoring is amended or replaced, we send an alert that flags exactly what changed, so you do not have to re-read the whole document.
How accurate is the tracking?
Maiven is built on a curated database of primary source legislation, with daily updates and expert review. Every AI-generated answer is fact-checked against the source text, so when Maiven cites a clause you can be confident it is accurate.
Who is legislative tracking software for?
In-house legal teams, compliance teams, sustainability teams, government affairs functions, and risk teams in regulated industries. Energy, financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, and consumer goods are typical sectors because their operations span jurisdictions with different and changing rules.
