European digital regulation is entering its execution phase. The EU AI Act, NIS2, GDPR, and related frameworks are no longer future concerns. They are shaping concrete obligations, audit expectations, and liability exposure for digital companies operating in or with Europe.

For many mid-size digital-first companies, the challenge is not awareness. The challenge is translating legal and regulatory requirements into workable business processes, product decisions, and IT governance without slowing down growth.

The compliance reality for digital companies

• Ai act obligations are already active for prohibited use cases and will expand through 2025 and 2026 with GPAI and high-risk system requirements.
• NIS2 is forcing organisations to formalise governance, incident response, and supply-chain controls under national enforcement regimes.
• GDPR remains a continuous operational obligation, increasingly linked to AI governance, data provenance, and vendor accountability.
• ISO/IEC frameworks are becoming the common language used by auditors, regulators, and enterprise clients to assess readiness.

Our approach

ImpactBuilders provides a structured compliance service that connects business governance, product development, and IT operations.

We work with executive teams, product owners, and CIO-level stakeholders to:

• Map business activities, products, and data flows to applicable EU obligations
• Classify AI systems, digital services, and vendors against regulatory risk categories
• Design policies, governance structures, and documentation that withstand audits
• Translate regulatory duties into concrete product backlog items and IT controls
• Prepare organisations for ongoing certification, supervision, and re-assessment

The focus is execution. Compliance is treated as an operating system for sustainable European growth, not as a reporting exercise.

Who this is for

• Digital product companies using or embedding AI
• SaaS and platform businesses operating across multiple EU markets
• Mid-size organisations preparing for audits, certifications, or enterprise procurement
• Professional firms seeking senior compliance expertise for their clients

Delivery model

The service is delivered by senior experts covering both business-level and technology-level compliance, supported by a growing expert network.

• Kristiina Aljas-Saarma assists executive management in mapping business processes to compliance requirements, drafting policies, coordinating audits, introducing organisational changes, and preparing continuous re-certification.
  

• Sven Tigane supports product owners in introducing the required concepts, processes, change requests, and new stories into their digital products — and helps CIOs implement the necessary governance, tools, and monitoring within corporate IT systems.

Together, this combined approach turns compliance into an enabler for structured growth — where standards, certifications, and regulatory alignment strengthen both business credibility and market readiness.

Client service and partnership offering

We offer the services of Kristiina and Sven (and many others in the near future), directly to digital companies, as well as via partners who need the additional expertise in their consultancy team. If you are a boutique law firm working for growth companies, an accountancy company aiming at the mid-market, and even a consultancy firm lacking the top experts in one of the above fields, then let’s talk.
