A Resilient Notification Strategy for Regulated Industries
Blog post from Courier
In the regulated industries of fintech, healthcare, insurance, and legal services, notifications are not merely messages but regulatory events that require robust infrastructure to ensure compliance. Companies excelling in these fields treat compliance as an infrastructure challenge, designing systems to handle regulatory complexities and enabling product teams to focus on innovation. Key engineering constraints imposed by regulations, such as Reg E, HIPAA, and TCPA, dictate system requirements like latency, data schema, and channel selection, with the need for high availability and redundancy to meet statutory deadlines. A resilient notification strategy involves choosing the right channels to mitigate compliance risk, employing smart escalation workflows, and ensuring proof of delivery through centralized logging. As regulations continue to evolve, such as the anticipated TCPA Revoke-All rule and increased AI content scrutiny, a flexible, infrastructure-based approach to notifications will allow organizations to adapt smoothly to future changes.
