New software makes in-house regulatory expertise accessible
Summary
‘Warning Letter Wednesday’ author Asa Waldstein has just debuted Apex Compliance, a software that identifies risky terms and phrases and suggests lower-risk alternatives on websites, YouTube videos, and any uploaded content. Apex Compliance also reviews uploaded blogs and social content before posting, and streamlines the process by flagging keywords and simplifies swapping high-risk phrases for lower-risk alternatives. According to Waldstein, Apex Compliance uses a proprietary advanced scanning algorithm that features intuitive navigation and understandable analytics reports, making it accessible for users at all levels of technical proficiency. Over the past 20 years, Waldstein, a certified clinical herbalist, developed a list of top trigger words common in warning letters and lawsuits with potential lower-risk alternatives. Apex Compliance comes preloaded with a list of 50 common trigger words, but it is customizable, meaning a user can add any phrase important to their business, such as "All Natural" or "No Artificial Flavors," and then attribute their own risk rating, suggested alternatives, and notes.
