Wolters Kluwer NILS™ Feed ASL is an Authoritative Source Library (ASL) data feed designed primarily for U.S. insurance regulatory compliance programs. Its core purpose is to maintain a continuously updated library of statutory and regulatory citations and enable insurers to map internal compliance activities, controls, and workflows to those authoritative sources inside a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) system. The vendor describes the product as supporting a connected compliance view where a single regulatory citation can be linked to multiple processes, lines of business, change events, complaints, risks, and similar artifacts (vendor claim).
Key vendor-described capabilities include:
- Linking enacted bills and adopted/issued regulatory documents to affected citations (change traceability).
- Supporting complaint, exam, and risk assessment workflows by tying operational artifacts back to citations.
- Making citations assignable to owners and linkable across an insurer’s compliance program.
- Integration with Wolters Kluwer and third-party GRC/regulatory-change tooling, including OneSumX and IBM OpenPages.
Important terminology note: “ASL” here refers to Authoritative Source Library (not American Sign Language). Wolters Kluwer uses “NILS Feed ASL” in the insurance-compliance context.
