You're probably wondering how you can keep track of which rules precisely apply to your business, without having to set up a separate function for it. The short answer: there is no central list that automatically indicates which obligations apply to each business, because it depends on what you sell, to whom, through which channels and what data you work with. What is possible, however, is to maintain a fixed place per relevant domain where you can see what applies to you and what has already been handled.
The reason this feels difficult is that obligations rarely come from a single regulation. For example, a webshop with own-brand products shipping to multiple European countries has to deal with rules on product safety, packaging requirements, accessibility requirements for the website and handling of customer personal data. Each of these subjects is determined by a different supervisor or different framework, and each subject has its own way of demonstrating that you are dealing with it. This creates the feeling that you have to keep track of what's happening four times over, when in fact it's about four different perspectives on the same business.
Why a single overview doesn't emerge on its own
Each platform or each supervisor looks at their own part of your business. A system that monitors product safety has no visibility into what's happening with personal data, and vice versa. That is not a shortcoming of those systems: they are built to do one thing well, not to oversee your entire business. The consequence is that the responsibility to bring those separate images together falls to you. At a small business, this often remains manageable with a spreadsheet or a quarterly agenda item. As soon as multiple product lines, countries or platforms come into play, it becomes harder to see what's still outstanding and what has already been completed.
What you can record yourself
A useful first step is not to figure out every rule individually, but to map out the areas that are relevant for your type of business. Think about it: if you sell physical products, product safety and packaging come into play; if you have a public website or app, accessibility is a point of attention; if you process customer or employee data, you need a file for that. For each of those areas, you can record which platform or which authority is responsible, when you last looked at it and what action is still outstanding. That's not a legal exercise, but an administrative one: you keep track of what's happening, not how you need to comply with it substantively. For the substantive implementation per subject, reglia deliberately refers you to the platform or the authority responsible for it.
Where reglia fits in
Reglia is not a replacement for those substantive platforms and makes no statements about regulations itself. What reglia does do is bring together the results of the connected platforms in one place: which deadlines are running, what is outstanding per platform, and what data you have already recorded. This way you don't have to log in four times to see if something needs attention. On the page with connected platforms you can see which subjects are currently supported and which platform is responsible for which subject. If you want to know how reglia handles your data in this process, then the explanation of how reglia works sets that out step by step.
The overview is a tool, not a guarantee
Keeping track of what's happening gives you a grip on the question of what you still need to look at. It says nothing about whether you are complying with a specific obligation, because that depends on the content of that obligation and your own situation. For that substantive assessment, the path to a lawyer or the competent authority remains the appropriate route. Reglia does help you see when that question becomes relevant, so it doesn't remain unaddressed until it's too late to notice. If you're unsure where to start, the page with frequently asked questions about reglia a number of practical reference points.
