Strengthen Product Governance Across the Entire Lifecycle
Ensure every product remains compliant, well-designed, and consistently monitored throughout its lifecycle with structured governance, risk oversight, and actionable insights.
Product Governance
AI-powered product governance and lifecycle management. Product governance demands that firms design, distribute, and review products with customer outcomes at the centre — evidencing target market analysis, value assessments, and distribution oversight throughout the product lifecycle. Ruleguard provides an integrated platform to manage this end-to-end, with direct connections to your Consumer Duty framework.

The Challenge
Product governance shouldn't be disconnected from your compliance framework
Whether you're a manufacturer or distributor, product governance requires documenting target markets, conducting value assessments, monitoring distribution, and reviewing products periodically. Under Consumer Duty, these requirements are more demanding than ever. Most firms manage this through standalone product registers, manual review cycles, and disconnected reporting.

The Solution
Connected product lifecycle management
Ruleguard brings product governance into your compliance platform — connecting product data to the controls, risks, complaints, and customer outcomes it relates to. Value assessments are scheduled and evidenced through configurable workflows, target market monitoring is linked to file review findings, and Consumer Duty alignment is built in from the start.
Product register and lifecycle tracking
A central register of all products with their target markets, distribution channels, and governance status. Lifecycle events — launches, reviews, modifications, withdrawals — are tracked with full audit trails and version history.
Automated value assessments
Periodic value assessments are scheduled and orchestrated through configurable workflows, gathering data from across the business. Evidence of fair value is compiled automatically and linked to Consumer Duty outcomes.
Target market monitoring
Distribution patterns are tracked against intended target markets, with assurance data from file reviews, complaints, and MI feeding into your product oversight. Anomalies are flagged for investigation.
Consumer Duty integration
Product governance feeds directly into your Consumer Duty framework. Product data is linked to outcomes mapping, complaints, and promotions — giving you a unified view of whether each product is delivering good customer outcomes.
Governance
Human-in-the-loop governance
Product governance decisions — value assessments, target market changes, product withdrawals — require senior business and compliance judgement. Ruleguard provides the data and the workflow

Why Ruleguard
Built for firms that can't afford to get it wrong
One platform, not a point solution
Product governance is inherently cross-functional — touching Consumer Duty, complaints, promotions, file reviews, and supplier oversight. On Ruleguard, product data connects natively to all of these areas, giving you the integrated view that effective product governance requires.
Four layers of context
Product taxonomies, value assessment criteria, and review frequencies are configured to match your firm's product range, distribution model, and Consumer Duty proportionality assessment.
Certified and audited
ISO 27001 for information security. ISO 42001 for AI management systems. Multi-jurisdiction data residency. Built for the most demanding regulated environments.
Measurable impact
Centralise product governance in your compliance platform. Automate value assessment cycles. Connect product data to complaints, promotions, and file reviews — and evidence Consumer Duty compliance at the product level.
Built for Regulated Firms
Enterprise-grade compliance
Ruleguard is built to the standards financial regulators and auditors expect — not retrofitted to meet them.
