14-day free trial. No credit card required. By submitting, you agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms.
BoardEx, Equilar, and ISS charge $11,000+/yr and require a sales conversation. Board Scan delivers the same underlying EDGAR filings with self-serve signup at $99/mo.
Every board vacancy begins as a nomination or departure disclosed in a DEF 14A proxy statement. Board Scan surfaces those filings the day they hit EDGAR, so you can source placement opportunities before the news cycle picks them up.
Client advisory work depends on current data: independence ratios, committee compositions, director tenure, and peer benchmarks. Board Scan tracks every proxy filing across your client universe and delivers structured alerts as they file — without the $11,000 enterprise license.
Board quality is an investment signal most managers evaluate too slowly. Board Scan delivers proxy filing alerts across your portfolio and watchlist the same day they are disclosed, letting your research team evaluate governance changes before they are widely covered.
Board Scan polls the SEC EDGAR full-text search index twice daily for DEF 14A proxy filings, extracts the structured filing record, enriches it via AI, and delivers a formatted alert through your preferred channel.
Twice daily, Board Scan queries the EDGAR EFTS index for DEF 14A proxy statements filed in the past seven days. Every US public company that holds an annual meeting files one — nominations, committee changes, director departures, and shareholder proposals all land here first.
For each new filing, the system extracts company name, ticker symbol, CIK number, SIC sector code, accession number, and filing date from the EDGAR search index. A direct link to the full proxy document on EDGAR Archives is included in every alert.
Alerts are enriched with an AI-generated summary of the filing context, then delivered via your chosen channel. Email delivers each alert individually. Webhooks push structured JSON to your systems. RSS aggregates into a 20-item feed updated with each scan cycle.
Each alert contains the structured filing record extracted from the EDGAR search index: company, ticker, sector, filing date, and a direct link to the proxy document. Below is a sample of recent filings from a single scan cycle.

DEF 14A proxy statements are filed by every US public company that holds an annual shareholder meeting. Board Scan monitors the full EDGAR filing universe — no sampling, no coverage tiers.
Full platform access on both plans. Annual billing saves $198 per year.
Both plans include a 14-day free trial with full access. No credit card required to start.
Board Scan draws from the SEC EDGAR full-text search index — the same authoritative public source that enterprise governance platforms monitor. No third-party data licensing required, no coverage gaps.
Every alert traces to a DEF 14A proxy statement filed with and published by the SEC. EDGAR is the authoritative, public record for corporate governance disclosures — not a licensed database subject to coverage decisions or vendor delays.
March through May is proxy season, when the majority of US public companies file their annual DEF 14A statements. Board Scan scans the full EDGAR index twice daily year-round, with no seasonal gaps or volume caps during peak filing periods.
All proxy filing alerts are retained for 90 days in your account dashboard, with full CSV export. Review any filing alert, re-send to a webhook, or pull historical data for a specific company or sector — all included on both plans.
Data sourced from SEC EDGAR public filing index. Alerts encrypted in transit. TLS 1.3. No cookies. JWT authentication. 90-day retention.
Hear from the recruiters, consultants, and investors who rely on Board Scan for proxy filing intelligence.
"We were checking EDGAR manually during proxy season, which meant we were always a day or two behind. Board Scan alerts us the same day a DEF 14A files. That window matters when you are trying to get to a placement conversation first."
"Our advisory practice tracks board compositions across 40 client companies and their peer sets. Doing that manually in EDGAR is not sustainable. Board Scan gives us a structured alert when any of those companies file a proxy, which is exactly the trigger we need to update our analysis."
"We evaluate governance as part of our investment process, and proxy filings are the primary disclosure vehicle. Board Scan eliminates the manual monitoring step. At $99 a month, it costs less than one hour of analyst time per week and returns far more coverage."
Every DEF 14A proxy statement filed with the SEC, delivered to your inbox the same day — at $99/mo instead of $11,000+/yr. Full platform access for 14 days, no credit card required.
