A short tour of COBACK: from a new regulation to an assigned task

Tour · 1 minute

What COBACK changes

COBACK prepares decisions. The final professional classification stays with people.

More than lists of hits

Regulatory changes are matched against entities, locations, processes, roles and existing company knowledge.

A traceable assessment

Sources, criteria and the company information used stay linked to the assessment and can be traced at any time.

A clear need for action

COBACK shows which areas are affected, what needs reviewing or changing and who owns it.

The path of a change

  1. Law database
    01

    Identify

    Every day COBACK polls official journals, regulators, parliaments, sanctions lists and specialist media in the jurisdictions you choose and collects every new publication in one place.

  2. Digital twin
    02

    Match

    A digital twin holds what defines your company: entities, locations, products, processes, roles and responsibilities. It fills itself from your systems, public registers, your website and targeted questions to your team.

  3. Relevance
    03

    Assess

    COBACK shows a relevance score from 0 to 100 with reasoning, deadlines and the source. Where a fact is missing, COBACK asks an open question instead of guessing.

  4. Reasoning
    04

    Justify

    The reasoning behind each score names the company facts it relies on and who stated them. You make the call: relevant or not relevant.

  5. Task
    05

    Assign

    Beta

    A rule you mark relevant becomes tasks with steps, owners and a deadline, routed to the department in charge.

  6. History

    Document

    Every decision stays documented with its date, basis and owners, ready for internal reviews and audits.

  1. 01Are relevant regulatory changes reliably detected?
  2. 02Is the company's context taken into account in the assessment?
  3. 03Is it clear why a change is relevant or not relevant?
  4. 04Is it clear what action follows and who owns it?

Frequently asked questions

Which rules does COBACK monitor?

Laws, regulations and publications by authorities in Europe, the Americas and Asia and by international bodies: official journals, regulators, parliaments, sanctions lists and specialist media. COBACK does not monitor technical or private standards.

Do I have to upload documents?

No. COBACK fetches new rules from the sources itself every day. What it knows about your company comes through connectors from your systems, from public registers and from your website. Anything still missing, your people answer in a short questionnaire.

Do I need compliance experience?

No. Every assessment explains in plain words what a rule requires and why it affects you. Every task names the steps and the evidence needed.

How secure is my data?

Database, files and AI processing are in Frankfurt, and every data service is in the EU. Your documents are not used to train AI models. The details are on the platform page.

How is COBACK different from Vanta, Drata or Sprinto?

Those tools guide you through fixed security frameworks. COBACK watches laws and publications by authorities in Europe, the Americas and Asia and checks whether a new rule affects your company. It works in German and English.

How do I get to know COBACK?

In 15 or 30 minutes we show you COBACK using your own company and the rules of your industry, without a sales pitch.
