Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a highly relevant and timely problem (digital compliance for AI, GDPR, and DORA) but functions as a traditional management consultancy with no evident technical innovation. The submission includes extremely vague and exaggerated claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and evidence of traction ('most people have used my product'), alongside nonsensical revenue metrics. Consequently, it receives a low overall score commensurate with minimal verifiable traction.

Description
We help compliance officers introduce new technologies into their firms in a fully compliant way, saving time on navigating digital regulations and providing peace of mind from day one. We prioritise the most pressing issues, then conduct a comprehensive review of your digital operations. At accessible rates, we guide you through understanding and implementing digital regulations, including AI, GDPR, DORA, and MiCAR in a way that fits with your business. Digital regulations like GDPR, the EU AI Act, and DORA are changing how all organisations operate. At Digital Regs, we help leadership understand and manage these changes in a way that’s practical, clear, and commercial. Our team has experience with Pan-European GDPR rollouts, AI policy development, DORA programmes, and building compliance frameworks for fast-growing companies. We advise on DSARs, privacy programmes, and regulations like the Data Protection Act 2018, MiCA, and more. Whether you're integrating AI into your organisation, navigating complex API integrations, regularly handling DSARs, or responding to investor expectations, we’re here to make compliance manageable and meaningful. *** Digital Regs was founded by Iga Sloan, who previously held a series of C-Suite roles at one of the City of London’s specialised compliance consultancy.
