Horizon: Regulatory Intelligence Engine

Legal and privacy teams spend hours manually tracking regulatory changes across multiple jurisdictions, then more hours working out what those changes mean for the business, then more hours drafting the response. Most of the time, something gets missed.

Horizon eliminates that entire workflow.

Horizon is an AI-powered regulatory intelligence engine built for in-house legal and privacy teams. It monitors regulatory sources across the US, EU, LATAM, and APAC on a scheduled basis — including EUR-Lex, the EDPB, FTC.gov, ANPD.gov.br, the ICO, and PDPC Singapore — and identifies new laws, amendments, enforcement actions, and guidance updates relevant to Sovos across privacy, AI regulation, commercial law, compliance, employment, and M&A.

But Horizon does not stop at flagging changes. For every regulatory update it identifies, it cross-references the entire business: open legal matters, compliance matters, open investigations and disputes, the product roadmap, M&A targets in the deal pipeline, and every policy in the policy library. It maps exactly what is affected and how.

It then drafts the response. For affected policies, Horizon produces a tracked-changes redline of the updated policy ready for attorney review. For affected matters, it drafts a flag with recommended next steps for the assigned attorney. For affected M&A targets, it drafts a due diligence flag for the deal lead. For the product team, it drafts a plain-language impact note. For the business generally, it drafts a horizon scanning newsletter covering all changes by region.

Everything Horizon has done sits on a single approval dashboard. Nothing is published, sent, or updated until a member of the legal or privacy team reviews and approves it. One click approves the action, pushes the updated policy to SharePoint, flags the matter, and notifies the relevant owner. Full audit trail throughout.

Horizon connects to SharePoint for policies, the product roadmap, M&A deal files, and the Lexi matter dashboard for open matters and compliance matters. Access is restricted to legal and privacy only via Microsoft SSO.
