# How to Research Regulatory Compliance with Copilot

Copilot puts deep research capabilities inside your IDE for the moments when building requires understanding something new. Research technical architectures, regulatory requirements, API ecosystems, or competitive landscapes without leaving your editor, then incorporate findings directly into architecture decision records, design documents, or technical specifications. This is especially valuable when you hit a knowledge gap mid-implementation and need comprehensive context fast rather than a shallow search result.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. Ask: "Research regulatory requirements for [industry/product] using deep-research"
3. Review the compliance analysis inline
4. Ask Copilot to identify technical compliance requirements you need to implement in code
5. Build compliance features (data retention, audit logging, consent management) into your application

## Example Prompt

```
Research data privacy regulations for our SaaS product. What technical requirements should we implement for GDPR and CCPA compliance?
```

## Tips

- Copilot can translate regulatory requirements into specific technical implementations
- Great for identifying compliance features needed in your application architecture
- Use to generate compliance audit trail code based on regulatory requirements
