Regulatory Sweep Support

AWO provides purpose-built technology for sector-wide privacy enforcement, giving regulators a faster and more complete way to review how organisations explain their use of personal data. Reviewing privacy notices across a whole sector by hand is slow, repetitive work. A manual sweep can take a team weeks, with reviewers finding the right pages, reading near-identical documents and logging findings one by one, often reaching different conclusions along the way. Because scale is limited by headcount, sweeps are restricted to a small number of organisations, and by the time results are in, conclusions may already be out of date.

Our sweep technology was built specifically to solve this problem. It’s a dedicated system, designed by data protection lawyers and technologists, that locates privacy notices across your target websites, extracts them and assesses them against defined legal criteria.

Interested in running a sweep? Register your interest and we’ll be in touch to discuss how our technology could support your work.

How we work with you

We agree the sectors, target organisations and specific legal requirements you want to test. Our lawyers help translate your enforcement priorities into clear, defensible assessment criteria.

Our system collects and analyses every privacy notice against those criteria, delivering results within hours. Every finding links back to the source text, so nothing is a black box.

You receive the full data, alongside a structured report showing where compliance is strong, where it falls short and which organisations warrant closer attention. We can then continue monitoring the sector, tracking changes and trends so you know when and where to act next. Your team stays in control of every enforcement decision throughout.

Some of the advantages using purpose-built regulatory suite support technology provides include:

  • Results in hours, not weeks — What takes a review team weeks, our technology completes in a matter of hours.
  • Scale that manual review could never reach — Because the system isn’t limited by headcount, you’re no longer restricted to sampling just a handful of organisations.
  • Continuous monitoring of change — Privacy notices don’t stand still, and neither does our system. It automatically captures changes to privacy notices over time, building a record of what each organisation said and when.

Why AWO?

We combine custom-built technology with deep expertise in data protection law and regulatory practice. The result is faster sweeps, far greater scale and ongoing insight into how sectors are changing, so your team can spend its time where it counts: on investigation and enforcement.
