Compliance monitoring

Policies change. Catch them on the first run.

Spider crawls terms-of-service, privacy, and regulatory pages reliably, even behind bot protection, and returns clean content your pipeline can hash and compare against previous versions.

01 · How it works

Crawl, compare, react.

Schedule a job that calls Spider's crawl API on your target URLs. Spider returns clean content your pipeline can hash and compare against stored versions. When a hash changes, you know the page changed.

Step 1

Schedule

Call Spider's crawl API on a cron job. Daily, weekly, or any interval your scheduler supports.

Step 2

Compare

Hash the returned content and compare against your stored version. A different hash means the page changed.

Step 3

Alert

When a change is detected, trigger your notification pipeline. Spider can also deliver content via webhook on every crawl.

02 · What teams monitor

The pages worth watching.

Legal Vendor

Terms of service

Track changes to vendor agreements, SaaS terms, and data processing addendums. Know when a clause changes before it affects your obligations.

Privacy Data

Privacy policies

Monitor partner and vendor privacy policies for changes to data handling, retention periods, and third-party sharing clauses.

Regulatory Government

Regulatory guidance

Track updates from regulators, standards bodies, and industry groups. New guidance pages, updated compliance frameworks, and enforcement actions.

Competitor Market

Competitor policy pages

Watch competitor pricing pages, feature lists, and policy documents. Useful for competitive analysis and ensuring your own terms stay aligned.

Archive Records

Version snapshots

Store each crawl result with a timestamp on your side. Build a complete version history for audit trails, dispute resolution, or regulatory submissions.

Delivery Integration

Webhook delivery

Spider sends crawled content to your webhook endpoint on every crawl. Pipe it to Slack, email, or your compliance tool for downstream processing.
