Monitoring
Verification is a point-in-time answer. Monitoring is the continuous infrastructure that keeps that answer correct. TrustRegistry re-checks each monitored entity against the authoritative registry on a recurring sweep and emits structured events whenever something material changes — so onboarding, underwriting, compliance, and risk systems can react in near real time.
Monitoring is available after a business has been verified through TrustRegistry.
TrustRegistry infrastructure includes:
- • 3.2M+ Texas business entities indexed
- • Business verification infrastructure
- • Trust scoring
- • Risk scoring
- • Confidence scoring
- • Continuous monitoring infrastructure
How it works
- You create a monitor for a
trustregistry_id. - A scheduled sweep re-fetches the registry record at a recurring interval.
- The sweep diffs the new snapshot against the previous one.
- Any meaningful change creates a monitoring event and updates
last_checked_at. - Events are available in the dashboard and via API for your pipeline to consume.
Common monitoring use cases
Keep every onboarded business in a known-good state. Detect dissolutions, status changes, and identity drift between verification events instead of waiting for the next annual review.
Payment processors and marketplaces use monitoring to watch active merchants in production. When a merchant becomes inactive or forfeited, downstream payout and disbursement systems can react immediately.
Procurement and vendor management teams continuously verify that suppliers remain in good standing with the issuing authority, surfacing risk before contract renewal.
Compliance teams subscribe to registration, status, and name changes to keep records of beneficial ownership and corporate identity aligned with the source of truth.
Track active / inactive / forfeited / reinstated transitions across a portfolio of entities and feed those signals into internal review queues.
Lenders and underwriters monitor borrowers and guarantors throughout the life of a loan, so material changes to the entity surface before they show up in repayment behavior.

Monitoring capacity
Each plan includes a monitoring capacity — the number of entities you can keep under continuous monitoring concurrently — and a sweep cadence. See the pricing page for current monitoring capacity by plan. Enterprise capacity is custom.
