◉ Compliance Officer · EU Regulatory Compliance

The Regulatory Compliance Architect

Compliance Officer specialising in European regulation. Not a thematic consultant, but the professional who designs, builds and maintains your organisation's compliance architecture — integrating multiple regulatory domains into a coherent, continuous system.

Compliance Architect

Compliance systems architect

The ComplianceArchitect is not a traditional thematic consultant who intervenes occasionally on an isolated legal framework. It is the professional who understands the full regulatory landscape and translates it into a coherent operational system, tailored to each organisation's specific reality — its size, sector, risk profile and internal capabilities.

The approach stems from a conviction grounded in experience: fragmented compliance — one lawyer for GDPR, an IT consultant for NIS2, an auditor for anti-corruption — is inefficient, costly and often counterproductive. True compliance requires architecture, that is, the intentional design of an integrated system that treats regulatory interdependencies as efficiency opportunities rather than independent silos.

The outcome is an organisation that not only fulfils formal obligations, but demonstrates continuous compliance before any regulator or supervisor, with structured documentation, measurable deliverables and documented maturity progression across every domain.

Credentials and Positioning

European Regulation

Specialisation in EU regulatory frameworks applicable in Portugal — GDPR, NIS2, AML, AI Act, CSRD.

Integrated Approach

12×12 matrix model — twelve regulatory domains simultaneously, every month of the year.

Architectural Continuity

288 documented deliverables per year. Demonstrable compliance and measurable progression.

Public and Private Sector

Cross-sector experience in public administration, healthcare, energy, telecoms and financial services.

Twelve regulatory domains, one architecture

Each domain constitutes an autonomous area of competence, but it is their articulation into an integrated system that generates real value — compliance as a system, not as a collection of tasks.
