Regulatory watch for insurance brokers and brokerage firms
IDD, supervisory recommendations, duty to advise, continuous-training obligations, distribution rules: a brokerage firm’s compliance is a permanent building site, often carried by one person on top of their real job.
In your day-to-day
- 01
Alerts on supervisory recommendations and sanctions concerning insurance distribution, with what concretely changes for your sales processes.
- 02
Tracking of the firm’s IDD obligations: product governance, information documents to hand over, traceability of the duty to advise.
- 03
Reminders of the team’s continuous-training deadlines and registry renewal dates.
A typical scenario
In this typical firm, IDD compliance rests on the managing director — between two client meetings, with a binder of supervisory recommendations dating from the last internal audit.
- 01
A supervisory recommendation on distance selling is published: the alert arrives with what it concretely changes for the firm’s phone-sales script, not an abstract legal digest.
- 02
Two employees approach the deadline of their 15 annual hours of mandatory training: a reminder lands two months ahead, with each person’s remaining-hours count.
- 03
The product information documents change across a line: the list of affected products the firm distributes comes out by itself, with the update deadline.
What changes
Compliance stops being a “someday” pile on the director’s desk, and the firm faces a possible inspection with dated evidence rather than recollections.
Order of magnitude
Working assumptions
- →3 hours of weekly watch to seriously cover the supervisor, the registry and distribution rules
- →46 weeks a year
In the region of 140 hours a year returned to advising and selling — with training and registration deadlines tracking themselves, no spreadsheet and no last-quarter cold sweat. An estimate for a single-office firm.
Indicative estimate built on average sector assumptions — it gets recalibrated on your actual volumes during scoping.
What eats your days
- →
Quote requests arrive at all hours, and the prospect signs with the broker who answers first with a credible comparison of covers.
- →
Unpaid premiums slide towards formal notice and suspension of cover — and the broker carries the relationship when the policyholder discovers they are no longer covered.
- →
A claim with no news from the insurer for three weeks means a policyholder calling the firm — not the insurer.
How it works
- 1
Official sources under watch
Official journals, sector authorities, tax bulletins: the agent reads the sources that count for your business, every day, without fatigue.
- 2
Filtered by your context
The agent knows your sector, your thresholds, your activities. A text about e-invoicing for large companies does not alert you if you are a small business — unless the timeline catches up with you.
- 3
Actionable alert, not a raw link
Each alert says what changes, from when, what it implies for you, and cites the source text. The decision is yours; the reading is the agent’s.

Frequently asked questions
Does the watch cover our own broker obligations, not just general texts?+
Yes, that is the principle: the scope is built on your situation — registration categories, product lines distributed, retail or commercial clientele. A change on life insurance does not alert you if you only write property and casualty.
Can it help us document the duty to advise?+
It alerts on the requirements and their evolution; the documentation itself belongs to your sales processes. However, combined with the portal and the qualification agents, the written trace of needs assessment builds naturally through the exchanges.
