Regulatory Compliance Consulting & EU Regulation Advisory
The EU regulatory landscape is expanding rapidly — GDPR, NIS2, AI Act, DORA, DSA, and more. Each regulation has different deadlines, supervisory authorities, and requirements. We help you understand which obligations apply to your business, develop a prioritized compliance roadmap, and prepare for regulatory inspections.

Gap analysis & compliance roadmap
Assessment of your current compliance posture, identification of gaps, and development of a prioritized plan with timelines, resource estimates, and clear milestones for achieving full compliance.
Supervisory authority engagement

Regulatory change monitoring
Continuous tracking of new regulations, amendments, EDPB guidelines, and CJEU decisions relevant to your industry. Quarterly reports summarizing changes and recommended actions for your organization.
Audit & inspection readiness
Mock inspections, documentation review, employee preparation, and readiness assessments — ensuring your organization is fully prepared for inspections by any supervisory authority.
Strategic compliance planning
Development of long-term compliance strategy aligned with business objectives. Integration of regulatory requirements into business processes rather than treating compliance as a separate project.
What happens without regulatory compliance consulting?
EU regulations are increasingly complex and overlapping. Organizations without expert guidance face concrete risks:
Fines from multiple regulators simultaneously
The same incident can trigger proceedings under GDPR (DPA), NIS2 (CERT), and sector regulations (financial authority). Each regulator imposes separate fines — cumulative amounts add up quickly.
Missed compliance deadlines
NIS2 took effect in 2024, DORA in 2025, AI Act has staggered deadlines through 2027. Organizations that don't track changes miss deadlines and face penalties for non-compliance.
Failed regulatory inspections
Supervisory authorities conduct regular and ad-hoc inspections. Without preparation, organizations cannot demonstrate compliance — resulting in corrective actions and increased scrutiny.
Lost business opportunities
Increasing numbers of public tenders and corporate partners require demonstrated compliance with GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, and sector regulations. Without certification, organizations lose contracts and partnerships.

How we deliver regulatory compliance consulting
Regulatory mapping
We identify all EU and national regulations applicable to your business, industry, and size. Deliverable: an obligation matrix with deadlines, competent authorities, and priorities.
Gap analysis of current state
We assess how compliant you are with each identified regulation. For every requirement, we document current status, gaps, and actions needed to achieve compliance.
Compliance roadmap development
We create a prioritized plan with clear milestones, timelines, and resource estimates. The roadmap considers your business objectives, budget, and organizational capacity.
Implementation & ongoing support
We support plan execution, monitor regulatory changes, prepare you for inspections, and provide advisory when new requirements or incidents arise.
Frequently asked questions about regulatory compliance consulting
We cover all key EU regulations relevant to organizational compliance: GDPR, NIS2, EU AI Act, DORA, MiFID II, AML directives, DSA, DMA, Data Act, Cyber Resilience Act, CSRD, and ePrivacy. For each regulation, we track guidelines, implementing acts, and national transposition measures.
It depends on your industry, size, types of data you process, and services you provide. GDPR applies to virtually all organizations. NIS2 applies to medium and large entities in 18 sectors. DORA applies to financial institutions. AI Act applies to users and providers of AI systems. Our regulatory mapping precisely identifies which regulations affect you.
Yes. We prepare documentation for data protection authorities, financial regulators, telecom regulators, CERTs, and other supervisory bodies. We support you during inquiries, inspections, and audits — from drafting responses to attending meetings and monitoring implementation of corrective measures.
Very frequently. In 2024-2025 alone, the AI Act, DORA, NIS2, and Data Act all took effect. Existing regulations like GDPR are continuously interpreted through new EDPB guidelines and CJEU rulings. Without monitoring, organizations miss critical changes that affect their obligations.
A gap analysis compares your current state against the requirements of applicable regulations. For each requirement, we document: current status (compliant, partially compliant, non-compliant), needed actions, resource estimates, and priority. The result forms the foundation for building your compliance roadmap.
Small and medium companies often use external advisors because it's more cost-effective than hiring specialists for every regulation. Large organizations typically combine in-house teams with external experts for specific areas (e.g., AI Act, DORA) or for inspection preparation.
We conduct mock inspections: reviewing all documentation the regulator may request, checking records, testing employee responses to likely questions, and identifying gaps. Fixes are completed before the actual inspection — so you pass without findings.
We continuously track new regulations, amendments, EDPB guidelines, CJEU decisions, ENISA recommendations, and national regulator guidance. Quarterly reports summarize changes relevant to your business and include specific recommendations for adaptation.
NIS2 has been in effect since late 2024 in Croatia, DORA since January 2025, Data Act since September 2025. AI Act has staggered deadlines: prohibitions from February 2025, high-risk system obligations from August 2026. The Cyber Resilience Act applies from 2027. Contact us to verify deadlines for your specific sector.
Cost depends on scope: a one-time regulatory mapping with gap analysis differs from ongoing monitoring and support. For smaller organizations with one or two applicable regulations, the investment is lower; for larger companies with complex regulatory environments, we develop comprehensive programs.
