System and method for verified compliance implementation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for a first entity to receive, from a second entity, an update to a compliance rule referenced in a compliance document containing confidential information of the first entity, the method comprising:
- analyzing the compliance document of the first entity using one or more processors in order to identify a reference to the compliance rule in the compliance document of the first entity and a section of the compliance document in which the compliance rule is referenced;
creating metadata identifying the reference to the compliance rule and the section of the compliance document in which the compliance rule is referenced;
creating an electronic transmission object by the one or more processors by incorporating the metadata identifying the reference to the compliance rule and the section of the compliance document in which the compliance rule is referenced without incorporating the confidential information of the compliance document into the electronic transmission object;
sending the electronic transmission object by the one or more processors to the second entity that uses the metadata identifying the reference to the compliance rule in the compliance document to identify an update to the compliance rule and that compiles the update to the compliance rule into a notification along with the metadata from the electronic transmission object identifying the section of the compliance document in which the compliance rule is referenced; and
receiving, from the second entity in response to the step of sending the electronic transmission object, the notification identifying the update to the compliance rule and the section of the compliance rule in which the compliance rule is referenced.

Abstract
A compliance computer creates compliance documents referencing one or more rules with which an entity must comply and/or a jurisdiction and topic related to rules with which the company must comply. For example, the compliance documents may identify one or more jurisdictions in which the company operates, one or more topics associated with the company, and/or specific provisions set by specific rules. A transmission object is created based on the compliance documents. The transmission object includes general information pertinent to the rules and/or the entity (e.g., jurisdictional or topical information). An operator server receives one or more transmission objects from one or more compliance computers. The operator server identifies rules pertinent to each transmission object and conducts a search to determine whether any of those rules have been modified. The operator server sends a signal that is associated with the one or more compliance rules to the compliance computer.

8. A computer-based system for receiving updates to a compliance rule referenced in a company compliance manual while preserving privacy with respect to company-specific compliance policies in the compliance manual, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; an incorporation module containing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; parse a citation to a compliance rule in the company compliance manual from company-specific compliance policies regarding the compliance rule in the company compliance manual; and create an electronic transmission object that include the citation to the compliance rule in the company compliance manual without including the company-specific compliance policies regarding the compliance rule from the company compliance manual; a review module configured to use the one or more processors to present the citation to the compliance rule in the electronic transmission object to a user for approval; a communications module configured to send the electronic transmission object to an entity responsible for receiving the electronic transmission object, using the citation to identify updates to the compliance rule, and compiling the updates to the compliance rule into a notification; an update module configured to use the one or more processors to receive the notification from the entity in response to sending the electronic transmission object, the notification conveying an update to the compliance rule in the company compliance manual; a compliance manual search module configured to search the company compliance manual for references to the compliance rule; and a compliance manual tagging module configured to create metadata associated with the references identified by the compliance manual search module, wherein the only data that are incorporated into the electronic transmission object are the created metadata associated with the compliance rule.

9. A computer-implemented method for updating a compliance document with respect to regulatory changes without exposing confidential information in the compliance document, the method comprising:
-
analyzing a compliance document of a first entity by one or more processors within a computer system of the first entity, wherein the compliance document includes a citation to at least one compliance rule at a specific location in the compliance document and at least one policy specific to the first entity regarding its compliance with the compliance rule, and wherein analyzing the compliance document includes; parsing the confidential information in the compliance document, including parsing at least one policy specific to the first entity in the compliance document from the citation to the compliance rule in the compliance document; and identifying the specific location of the citation in the compliance document; creating an electronic transmission object by the one or more processors within the computer system of the first entity by compiling metadata comprising the citation to the compliance rule from the compliance document and the specific location of the citation in the compliance document into the electronic transmission object in place of the confidential information of the at least one policy specific to the first entity from the compliance document; sending the electronic transmission object by the one or more processors within the computer system of the first entity to an operator server of a second entity, wherein the operator server of the second entity is configured to analyze the electronic transmission object to extract the compliance rule in the electronic transmission object, search an operator server database to identity an update to the compliance rule, analyze the electronic transmission object to extract the specific location of the citation in the compliance document, and compile the update and the specific location of the citation in the compliance document into a notification; receiving the notification from the operator server of the second entity by the one or more processors within the computer system of the first entity in response to sending the electronic transmission object to the operator server of the second entity, the notification including the update to the compliance rule from the operator server of the second entity and the specific location of the citation in the compliance document; and updating the compliance document of the first entity by the one or more processors within the computer system of the first entity using the update to the at least one compliance rule and the specific location of the citation in the notification from the operator server of the second entity. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
