The compliance intelligence layer
semiconductor teams were missing.
Export control compliance in the semiconductor industry has a monitoring problem. Six regulatory bodies. Dozens of updates per month. PDFs in legal notice format, published without warning, effective the same day. A single missed Entity List addition can trigger a $300,000 civil penalty per violation.
Embargo was built to solve that problem — not with another compliance checklist, but with an automated intelligence layer that watches every relevant source, structures what it finds, and delivers it to your team in plain English before your competitors find out.
What we monitor
How we think about the product
Trust is the product.
If the data is wrong, the product fails. We pull directly from primary government sources — the Federal Register API, the EU Official Journal, official government content APIs — not from third-party aggregators with unspecified lag times. Every alert includes a link to the original document.
Speed is the value proposition.
An alert four hours before your compliance team would have found it manually is worth more than a perfect summary delivered three days later. We optimise for latency first, then for clarity.
Clarity beats comprehensiveness.
One actionable insight is worth more than ten ambiguous ones. We use AI summarisation to translate dense regulatory language into plain-English action items — but we always show you the source text alongside the summary.
B2B-first, enterprise-grade.
This product is used by export control managers and trade compliance counsel at semiconductor companies with real regulatory accountability. Every design decision reflects that. No consumer shortcuts.
