An RSI Understanding Risk method

Regulatory framework mapping

Regulatory framework mapping is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.

Broadly

Regulatory framework mapping inventories and analyzes the legal and institutional structures governing a particular risk domain. It includes identifying applicable statutes, agencies, jurisdictions, and enforcement mechanisms. This method supports compliance assessments, harmonization efforts, and strategic planning. The main challenge is keeping information current and reconciling overlapping or conflicting mandates.

More specifically

RSI maps regulatory frameworks to help clients understand the policy landscape around emerging risks or interventions. Its team synthesizes statutory texts, regulatory databases, and institutional roles into accessible formats. RSI’s mapping supports coordinated responses, identifies gaps, and frames technical work within the constraints and opportunities of the regulatory environment.
