Compliance consulting and regtech workflows.
Used by professionals who need to understand the regulated market quickly — and turn that understanding into client work, product decisions, and timely conversations.

Prepare for client conversations, map regulated markets, and identify firms with changing compliance needs.
For regtech and compliance software teams
Find the firms most likely to need your product, then track changes that create timely reasons to engage.

Build clean, exportable lists of regulated firms using FCA, SEC, and company-level data.
For advisory and transaction teams
Understand a firm's regulatory footprint before diligence, outreach, or market analysis.
Public registers, made workable.
The FCA and SEC publish important data, but they don't make it easy to segment firms, compare regulatory footprints, or turn the results into usable lists. Hackford adds structure, classification, search, exports, and monitoring.
