We’re in a regulated industry. Does ORM content need to go through legal review?

Quick answer

Yes. In regulated industries, content goes through legal and compliance review for accuracy and regulatory fit - FINRA, FDA, and the rest - with workflows built so the review does not strangle the publishing cadence.

In regulated industries, reputation content goes through legal and compliance review before publication, and that is a feature of doing the work correctly rather than an obstacle to route around. The review checks several things at once: factual accuracy, compliance with the specific regulatory regime (FINRA marketing rules for financial advice, FDA constraints for health claims, and others), and consistency with the company’s approved messaging and brand voice. Skipping it exposes the client to regulatory risk on top of any reputational problem, which is a worse outcome than a slower publishing schedule. We have run these workflows for financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and other regulated clients, and the durable version produces content that reads as authoritative to both readers and the AI engines while surviving a regulator’s review.
