4 Regulatory Areas

EU compliance isn't one regulation. It's four overlapping ones.

CSRD, GDPR, the EU AI Act, and NIS2/DORA each cover different obligations — and most businesses are caught by more than one. Below is what each area requires, who it applies to, and which Verdaio tools help you navigate it.

🌿
Sustainability
CSRD · ESRS · EU Taxonomy · CS3D

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large companies — and eventually listed SMEs — to report on their environmental and social impact using standardised ESRS indicators. It's the most detailed reporting obligation Europe has ever introduced.

Does it apply to you?
If you sell to, supply, or operate within the EU market, sustainability compliance increasingly applies to you.
🔐
Privacy
GDPR · ePrivacy

The General Data Protection Regulation applies to every organisation that handles personal data of EU residents — no minimum size, no sector carve-out. It sets rules on lawful basis, data subject rights, breach notification, and data transfers.

Does it apply to you?
Any company processing EU personal data. No exceptions.
🤖
AI & Technology
EU AI Act · CRA

The EU AI Act introduces a risk-based framework for artificial intelligence — from prohibited systems to high-risk applications requiring conformity assessments. The Cyber Resilience Act adds security requirements for products with digital elements.

Does it apply to you?
Any company using, developing, or deploying AI systems in the EU. Full enforcement from August 2026.
🛡
Cyber & Resilience
NIS2 · DORA

NIS2 expands cybersecurity obligations to a much wider range of sectors, requiring incident reporting, risk management, and supply chain security measures. DORA adds specific digital operational resilience requirements for the financial sector.

Does it apply to you?
Essential services, digital providers, and financial entities. Obligations in force since 2024–2025.
