Website Change Detection for Compliance Teams
Compliance teams depend on pages they do not control: regulator guidance, sanctions and enforcement notices, vendor policies, and sometimes their own public disclosures. The risk is not that those pages change, but that they change unnoticed. RivalPeek.io watches the public pages you name and alerts the right channel when a change matches your rule, with links to review the change evidence.
What compliance teams usually watch
- Regulators: new guidance, circulars, consultation papers and enforcement notices, using new-entry rules on public lists.
- Vendors: privacy policies, subprocessor lists, terms of service and security pages.
- Your own site: fee pages, product disclosures and policy pages, to catch unapproved edits after a website release.
Rules you can type
- “Tell me about new circulars mentioning anti-money laundering.”
- “Tell me when a new enforcement notice is published.”
- “Tell me about any change to the fees and charges section.”
- “Alert me if the phrase ‘capital guaranteed’ appears on this page.”
How it works
- List your sources and import them with bulk import (pasted links or CSV).
- Give each a rule, check the preview, and file it in a folder such as “Regulators” or “Vendors”.
- Route each folder: urgent folders to Slack or a webhook, others to email or the daily digest.
- Open each alert, review the before-and-after evidence, and record your own assessment in your usual system.
Evidence and records
Every matching change is kept on the Changes page with what was there before, what is there now, and when the check saw it. Webhook alerts send signed JSON containing a change summary, watch details and links to the alert and source page; open the alert to review before-and-after evidence. Price watches also keep a price history. What is not kept: full-page snapshots, screenshots, or edits that did not match your rule.
Coverage you can explain
Before approval, the review shows what will be watched, what it reads now, and what it cannot cover, which is useful when you need to explain your monitoring scope. If a page later moves or cannot be read, the watch reports the problem instead of quietly expanding to the whole page, and you get an email once it has failed for several hours.
Limits to state plainly
- Public pages only: no portals, logins or results that need a submitted search form.
- Scheduled checks, not continuous monitoring; a change made and reverted between checks can be missed.
- One login per account, with no user roles or audit log of who reviewed an alert.
- No legal advice and no completeness guarantee across all regulators.
Which plan fits
Teams routing alerts to Slack or a webhook need Pro and Business. Pro covers 150 pages checked every 15 min, with email, Slack and webhook alerts. Business covers 500 pages checked every 15 min for larger watchlists.

Choose your monitoring capacity
Choose a plan for the pages you need to follow. Starter costs USD $19/month for 20 pages, with ordinary checks every hour. Annual billing is USD $190/year. Pro costs USD $39/month for 150 pages, with ordinary checks every 15 min. Annual billing is USD $390/year. Business costs USD $99/month for 500 pages, with ordinary checks every 15 min. Annual billing is USD $990/year. These are scheduled checks, not a live stream; availability and the check queue can affect when a result arrives.
Pages requiring protected checking use a separate allowance and a slower schedule. Access is not guaranteed, and some sites block automated visits. Start with a representative public URL and review the result before expanding your watchlist.
Frequently asked questions
Is the change history suitable as audit evidence?
It is a working record: each matching change stays on the Changes page with before-and-after evidence and the time it was seen. It is not a certified archive, a full-page snapshot or a legal record, so keep your own evidence where your policies require it.
Can several people on the team log in?
No. Each account has one login, without seats, roles or approval steps. Teams usually share alerts through a Slack channel or send them into their own case or ticketing tool with a webhook.
Can it tell us whether a change creates an obligation?
No. It reports what changed on the pages you chose. Assessing applicability and obligations stays with your compliance or legal team.
Can we watch pages that need a login, such as a regulator portal?
No. Only public pages can be watched. RivalPeek.io does not sign in to portals on your behalf.
