SAI360 Acquires Plural Policy to Strengthen AI-Driven Regulatory Change Management
SAI360 has acquired Plural Policy, an AI regulatory intelligence company built to analyze legislative and regulatory text at scale. The move adds AI-native depth to SAI360's Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) module and helps customers anticipate, interpret, and act on change with less manual effort.
The timing fits the market. The volume and speed of global rulemaking are up, and leaders need earlier signals and clearer impact analysis. As SAI360's CEO Peter Granat noted, regulatory change is "moving faster than ever," and this deal aims to give customers "clearer, earlier insight into what's coming."
What this means for management
- Earlier signals on pending legislation and emerging topics-so you can plan before deadlines hit.
- Faster obligation analysis that links updates to policies, procedures, and controls.
- Fewer manual hours spent tracking, comparing, and summarizing regulatory text.
- More consistent, auditable change logs and decision trails for internal and external reviews.
- One place to monitor changes and coordinate actions via SAI360's RCM workflows.
Why Plural matters inside SAI360
Plural specializes in applying and tuning large language models for legislative and regulatory language-identifying themes, comparing versions, and spotting meaningful changes quickly. That expertise inside SAI360 supports earlier detection, tighter obligation mapping, and better prioritization across compliance programs.
Plural's CEO, Damola Ogundipe, said they built the company to make policy and regulation intelligence "smarter, more accessible, and more impactful," powered by contextual AI models. Combined with SAI360's platform, the result is more proactive insight across risk and compliance workflows.
Practical steps to prepare your organization
- List top regulatory regimes that affect your business (by region and product) and assign clear owners.
- Define triggers for action (e.g., bill introduced, advanced to committee, final rule) and who decides next steps.
- Connect regulatory updates to downstream tasks: policy edits, control changes, training, attestations, and evidence.
- Track a few core metrics: time-to-assess, time-to-implement, percent of obligations mapped, and false-positive rate.
- Set a standing review cadence with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and key business leads for prioritization and trade-offs.
Analyst perspective
