Datamaran Launches AI-Powered Applicability Assessment to Show Companies Which Regulations Apply to Them

New Regulatory Monitoring feature combines AI with expert validation to deliver continuous, entity-level assessments of active and proposed mandatory regulations.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Datamaran announced the general availability of Applicability Assessment, a new feature of its Regulatory Monitoring platform.

For organizations operating across multiple countries, knowing which regulations apply is still largely a manual process of checking hundreds of rules against thresholds one entity at a time, repeating that exercise whenever something changes. The process doesn't scale, and cutting corners risks missing obligations that matter.

Applicability Assessment turns this exercise into a continuous, AI-assisted and expert-validated capability. With one click, companies can assess every entity in a group against active and proposed mandatory regulations. Each entity and regulation pairing is rated Likely, Unlikely, or Uncertain to apply, with the reasoning behind every determination laid out.

"'We just need to know what applies to us' is something we hear often from legal, compliance, and sustainability teams. Applicability Assessment provides that information quickly and reliably at the entity level at scale."

– Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder, Datamaran

Companies that piloted Applicability Assessment ahead of launch highlighted the transparency of its logic and its ease of use:

"Datamaran's Applicability Assessment made the same determinations we would make, and I liked the logic. Being able to look at the assessment criteria and have that logic really laid out gives me confidence. And because we have a lot of different discrete organizations, being able to start from a dashboard is very valuable."

– Pilot user, global industrial manufacturer

"The Applicability Assessment is really user-friendly and very straightforward to use. It calls out pretty clearly which data fields are missing, so we know exactly what's needed to get to an answer."
