PLATFORM FOR AUTOMATED SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MONITORING

1 . A system for automated social media regulatory compliance monitoring, comprising:

a compliance data service comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

provide an interface for an administrative user to define at least a compliance rule; and

store the compliance rule in a compliance database;

a social media collection service comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

monitor and collect data from a plurality of web sources comprising at least a social source including at least a social media feed associated with a monitored user; and

store the collected data in a social media data storage; and

a compliance monitoring engine comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

retrieve the collected data from the social media data storage;

retrieve the compliance rule from the compliance database; and

process and analyze the collected data to determine whether the collected data contains noncompliant content based at least on the compliance rule;

wherein noncompliant content is determined from processing at least two web sources, from the plurality of web sources, in context.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein after determining the collected data contains noncompliant content the system notifies the monitored user of the noncompliant content to take corrective action.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a record of compliance is kept and maintained.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the record of compliance is recorded using a blockchain.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of web sources is continuously monitored for suspicious activity for the purposes of preventing identify theft, and cyberattacks.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of users are periodically trained and tested for compliance.

7 . (canceled)

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein user-provided samples are also used by the compliance monitoring engine in determining noncompliant content.

9 . A method for automated social media regulatory compliance monitoring, comprising the steps of:

(a) provide an interface for an administrative user to define at least a compliance rule using a compliance data service;

(b) store the compliance rule in a compliance database using the compliance data service;

(c) monitor and collect data from a plurality of web sources comprising at least a social source including at least a social media feed associated with a monitored user using a social media collection service;

(d) store the collected data in a social media data storage using the social media collection service;

(e) retrieve the collected data from the social media data storage using a compliance monitoring engine;

(f) retrieve the compliance rule from the compliance database using the compliance monitoring engine; and

(g) process and analyze the collected data to determine whether the collected data contains noncompliant content based at least on the compliance rule using the compliance monitoring engine;

wherein noncompliant content is determined from processing at least two web sources, of the plurality of web source, in context.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein after finding noncompliant content the system notifies an originator of the content to take corrective action.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein a record of compliance is kept and maintained.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the record is recorded using a blockchain.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of web sources is continuously monitored for suspicious activity for the purposes of preventing identify theft, and cyberattacks.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein compliance training and testing is periodically administered to a plurality of users.

15 . (canceled)

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein user-provided samples are also used by the compliance monitoring engine in determining noncompliant content.
