Stay Ahead of Regulatory and Geopolitical Change
The Horizon Agent scans the sources you already rely on, reads and labels each development by type, and keeps an immutable record of every decision your team makes. Regulatory monitoring becomes a governed, auditable programme — not an inbox to wade through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What decisions does the Horizon Agent make?
None. It scans, reads and labels. Your analysts triage and decide; every decision is logged.
Does it score or prioritise risk automatically?
No. It labels each item by type. Escalation is human-led, to the Notification Tracker.
Is everything auditable?
Yes. Every stage and every human decision is timestamped and immutable, and original articles are preserved even when a notice is withdrawn.
What sources does it cover?
The ones you already monitor — your subscriptions, jurisdictions and watchlists. Adding a source follows a maker-checker approval.
Does it change our policies or controls?
No. The Horizon Agent finds, labels and logs relevant change; assessing impact on your policies stays with your team.
How is it deployed?
Silent Eight AWS Cloud or your own cloud, with email and SSO.
