Abstract:
1. A processor-implemented method, comprising: generating, via a processor, a list of information sources from one or more information source devices, each information source selected as having information potentially political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to a topic; grouping, via the processor, the information sources from the list of information sources into a first type of information source and a second type of information source based on a likelihood that information from the information source will be political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic; prequalifying information received from an information source of the second type of information source as political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic; receiving, via the processor, first information from an information source of the first type of information source from the list of information sources; translating the received first information into a standardized format; determining, via the processor, whether the translated first information is political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the said topic based on one or more keywords; monitoring periodically according to an established information source update frequency, via the processor, the information source of the first type to identify a change in the first information; and retrieving, via the processor, updated information from the information source of the first type upon identifying the change.
