Expanding ISV Market Reach in Regulated Industries: Tap Into Embedded Compliance

Blog Expanding ISV Market Reach in Regulated Industries Tap Into Embedded Compliance

For ISVs, compliance isn’t just a technical hurdle—it’s often a roadblock to market expansion. Regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and the public sector operate under strict Digital Communications Governance and Archiving (DCGA) requirements, ensuring that digital interactions are captured, archived, and supervised to meet legal and regulatory standards. Financial firms must adhere to SEC and FINRA regulations, while healthcare organizations face HIPAA mandates, and state and local agencies must comply with public records requests—all requiring secure and governed communication workflows to protect sensitive data.

Without DCGA-ready compliance baked into their UCC tools and platforms, ISVs face significant challenges:

  • Regulatory concerns slow down sales cycles – Buyers in regulated industries need proof that any communication tool meets compliance standards before adoption, leading to extended procurement timelines.
  • Legacy compliance solutions weren’t built for modern communications platforms – Most compliance technology was designed for email and legacy voice, not the UCC platforms, messaging apps, and real-time collaboration tools that businesses rely on today.
  • Customer hesitation leads to lost deals – Enterprises in regulated industries won’t take risks on non-compliant platforms, opting instead for legacy providers or forcing workarounds with third-party compliance tools—a deal-breaker for many buyers.

For ISVs looking to expand into these lucrative markets, compliance can’t be an afterthought. DCGA must be embedded from the start, ensuring compliance isn’t just supported—but seamlessly integrated at the infrastructure level.
