Regulatory Readiness Assessment: Are You Actually Prepared for What’s Coming Next for Customer Support?
Jan 8, 2026
Most companies say they’re “ready” for future customer support regulations.
Almost none of them are.
With U.S. policymakers pushing toward mandatory human access in customer support, it’s only a matter of time before AI-only service flows become non-compliant. And while many organizations assume they’ll “adjust when the rules are finalized,” support leaders who’ve lived through past regulatory shifts know better:
The winners prepare early. The rest scramble.
This is exactly why Sirius Support—one of the industry’s most experienced hybrid AI + human support partners—created its complimentary Regulatory Readiness Assessment. It’s a no-pressure, high-value checkpoint that helps organizations understand how exposed (or prepared) they really are.
Here’s why it’s quickly becoming one of the smartest moves support leaders are making.
1. Regulations Are Moving Faster Than Expected
Draft bills already point toward required:
Direct access to a human
Disclosure of AI usage
Protections for sensitive and vulnerable customers
Rules for timely human response
A readiness assessment helps you see where your operation falls short before these become enforced.
2. Most Organizations Have Blind Spots They Don’t Realize
Even mature support teams miss key issues:
AI loops that violate escalation requirements
Missing audit trails
Unclear AI disclosures
Staffing models that break under human-access rights
Sirius brings 20 years of operational insight to uncover what internal teams often overlook.
3. Compliance Doesn’t Have to Mean Cost Explosion
One of the biggest surprises for leaders?
You don’t need to hire a large team to be compliant.
Sirius maps a modern, hybrid model that blends:
AI for routine
On-demand human support for the regulated 10–20%
A pay-per-ticket model to avoid overstaffing
Regulatory readiness doesn’t have to drain budgets—it just requires smarter design.
4. You Walk Away With a Clear, Actionable Roadmap
This isn’t a theoretical consultation.
You receive a straightforward breakdown:
Your readiness state
Where you’re compliant, at risk, or exposed
Needed workflow and AI adjustments
Required human-access updates
A future-proof operating model
It’s clarity, not guesswork.
5. Avoid the Day-One Surge No One Is Talking About
When mandates go live, customer volume will spike as people test their new rights.
The question isn’t if.
It’s whether your team can absorb it.
An assessment helps teams build elasticity now—with burst-capacity options for when that day comes.
A Simple Checkup Today Prevents a Crisis Tomorrow
Sirius Support created the Regulatory Readiness Assessment for one reason:
to help companies adapt with confidence not panic.
It’s objective. It’s practical. It’s free.
And for many leaders, it’s the first moment they finally see the full picture of how ready (or not ready) their support organization truly is.
