Practical EU compliance for data and AI
Build and sell in Europe, with the rules on your side.
The GDPR, the EU AI Act, the Data Act, DORA — Europe’s rules now help decide whether your deal closes, your product launches and your customer says yes. Provenance does the compliance work that gets you there, with your team or alongside your lawyers, so the rules move you forward instead of holding you up.
What Provenance helps with
Which one is today’s problem?
A buyer’s questionnaire is blocking the deal.
Procurement sent a security, privacy or AI questionnaire, and the deal waits on it. Provenance answers every question against your evidence — usually in days.
What Provenance doesYou are putting AI into your product.
You need to know what the EU AI Act asks of you, and be able to show it. Provenance builds the assessments, the policies and the evidence.
What Provenance doesA customer wants proof the data is safe.
Where it is stored, where it travels, whether it leaves the EU — with the paperwork to back it. Provenance puts that file together.
What Provenance does“Who is your EU representative?”
A tender or a customer asks, and you are based outside Europe. Provenance can be that named representative under Article 27.
What Provenance doesA bank’s DORA terms just landed.
You supply a bank or an insurer, and their resilience and security duties now flow down to you. Provenance maps each one to what you can show.
What Provenance doesYou need a DPO, not a hire.
A data protection officer’s work — records, data requests, privacy by design — without a full-time salary. Provenance covers it, month to month.
What Provenance doesHow the work looks
Every answer comes with its proof.
Whatever the regulation, what Provenance hands over is plain to read. A question, an answer, and the document, record or number behind it.
Where something is not yet in place, the page says so, and gives a date by which it can be. Nothing is called a fact without the evidence to back it.
A page from a sample evidence pack. The entries are a worked example.
Who is behind it
Twenty-four years in enterprise technology, now governing the data behind it.
Provenance is led by Hemant Patil. He holds the CIPP/E and AIGP — Europe’s main certifications in data protection and AI governance — and is completing an LL.M. in Data Economy Law.
Before that, he spent twenty-four years inside enterprise technology, at Oracle and IBM, across more than forty countries. He has answered a buyer’s hardest questions and asked them, and he knows how to turn a regulation into something your team can actually do.
About ProvenanceHow it works
One clear piece of work at a time.
You choose what you need. You see what you will get, how long it takes, and roughly what it costs, before you say yes. Then you get something finished — not an open-ended retainer.
Most pieces of work are planned to run one to four weeks and to cost between about €1,500 and €4,000. Ongoing support is planned from about €500 a month.
How it works, and what it costsWork with Provenance
Work behind the scenes, not only for clients.
Provenance also works behind the scenes: inside a product launch as the compliance capability you do not have yet, behind a law firm as the operational muscle it would rather not staff, or as a standing partner that helps your EU deals clear compliance and reach signature faster.
