Actually, "watch dog" is a phrase commonly used in such instances. In the U.S we have "watch dog" agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Dr*g Administration which oversee the activities of businesses and organizations involved in matters that affect public interests.

P.S. I wonder why **** (d-r-u-g) is a bad word.
