Close EU enterprise
deals faster.

Enterprise buyers in Europe check three things before signing: a GDPR Representative on record, a compliance framework in place, and a local contact they can actually reach. Cyberpass gives you all three - starting with your EU legal address in 48 hours.

Every delay in compliance
costs you revenue.

Every slip in compliance is a deal you lose, a market you can't enter, or a customer you can't win.

The EU rulebook isn't optional-
and it's catching up to US SaaS.

If you sell to, serve, or track a single EU resident, you're already on the hook. Two regulations define the playing field; the third reality makes them enforceable.

GDPR Art. 27 Enforced since 2018

You need an EU‑established Representative on record.

Any non‑EU company offering services to EU residents - or tracking their behavior via analytics or cookies - must appoint an EU‑established Representative. Enforcement is actively increasing.

EU AI Act Art. 22 Deadline: Aug 2, 2026

High‑risk AI providers need an Authorised Representative.

Non‑EU providers of high‑risk AI systems must appoint an EU Authorised Representative before this date. HR tools, credit scoring, healthcare AI, biometrics - if your AI makes decisions about EU people, this is you.

Audit reality Visible to every user

Non‑compliance is visible and auditable.

Any EU data subject can check your privacy policy. If there's no EU Representative listed, they can file a complaint with their national DPA in minutes. Regulators increasingly target US SaaS companies.

GDPR Art. 27 / AI Act Art. 22

The Requirement

A non-EU company receives a request for information from an EU data subject or regulator - and has no representative to receive it.

  • Data subject request inbound
  • No EU contact on record
  • Regulatory deadline running

CyberPass Automated Portal

The Automated Solution

Your verified EU Representative intake portal receives, verifies, and responds on your behalf - then logs the interaction for audit.

A Representative is a legal role.
It has to be inside the EU.

Vanta and Drata help you get audit-ready. They can't be your Article 27 Representative, because they're not EU-established. We are. That's not a feature — it's a regulatory requirement, and it's the entire point.

Questions & answers

Let's cut the marketing talk.
The real questions, answered honestly.

You're evaluating a service that sits between your business and European regulators. You should be skeptical. Here's what we'd push back on if we were you.

Can't I just list an employee or a lawyer friend in the EU as my Representative?
Technically yes - legally, it's a bad idea. Under GDPR Art. 27 your Rep is the local point of accountability for Data Protection Authorities and data subjects. If that person leaves, travels, or misses an ICO/CNIL deadline, liability is yours. You also need a mandate agreement, a monitored contact address in the right jurisdiction, and a process to handle requests within statutory windows. We run that infrastructure full-time so you don't inherit the risk of someone's inbox going cold.
Is this just a mailbox service dressed up in better branding?
No. A mailbox forwards post. We act as your legal agent: we triage inquiries from DPAs and data subjects, coordinate the response with your team, and answer under our own signature when appropriate. You get a named legal contact, a compliance portal, and a documented SLA - not a PDF scan and a prayer.
Our US lawyers said we don't need an EU Rep. Why are you different?
If you offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behavior, GDPR Art. 27 applies regardless of where you're incorporated. US counsel often flags this as "low priority" because enforcement was slow - but since 2023 regulators have been handing out six-figure fines specifically for missing Representatives (see the EDPB's enforcement tracker). EU enterprise procurement teams now check this before signing. It stopped being theoretical.
What happens if a regulator actually shows up? Do you disappear?
That's exactly when we're most useful. Our legal team receives the notice, authenticates it, logs it in your portal, and coordinates with you on response strategy and facts. We draft the legal response, file it under our signature as your Representative, and track statutory deadlines. The mandate is underwritten with professional indemnity insurance — €2M per claim, €5M aggregate, scope explicitly extending to GDPR Article 27(5) joint liability. Carrier and certificate available on request during procurement; no NDA required.
Why not use one of the bigger compliance platforms that also offer this?
Several do bundle an EU Rep as a line item. In practice we've seen two issues: (1) the Rep function is outsourced to a third-party law firm with no SLA visibility, and (2) it's priced against a platform seat count that makes no sense for a legal mandate. We're the opposite - the legal representation is the product, priced flat, and the platform exists to make that service faster for you.
What does "days, not months" actually mean? What's the catch?
Appointing the Representative itself is fast: a 30-minute mandate signing, a generated privacy policy clause, and a contactable portal URL. Usually under a week. What takes longer is ongoing compliance hygiene - records of processing, DSAR procedures, DPIAs for higher-risk systems. We don't pretend those are a weekend job. We build them on a continuous cadence through the Extension service (NIS2, ISO 27001, etc.) so you're never scrambling before an audit.
How is pricing structured? Will you try to upsell every framework?
EU Rep + UK-GDPR Rep is a flat annual fee based on your company size, not headcount seats. Everything on the Frameworks list is a discrete module you can add or remove quarterly. If you don't need ISO 42001, don't buy ISO 42001. We'd rather keep you on a lean plan for 5 years than oversell you once.
We're still pre-revenue in Europe. Is this premature?
If you have a single user in the EU whose behavior you track, Art. 27 already applies. The point isn't usually fines - it's that your first serious EU prospect (or the security review they subject you to) will ask for your Representative on file. Closing that gap before your first demo is $0 incremental effort. Fixing it during a stalled procurement cycle costs deals.
Still unsure? Bring your sharpest question to a 25-minute call. No pitch deck - we'll walk through your specific setup and tell you honestly whether you need this yet.

You're hiring an EU operator,
not a brand.

An Article 27 mandate is signed by a person, on EU soil, who takes joint and several liability under EU law. Here's who actually does that for CyberPass clients — names, faces, locations.
