You’re not here because things are running smoothly. You’re here because something isn’t right.
Maybe your company’s expanding into the Dutch market and you’ve got a tangled mess of EU directives, local licensing hurdles, and GDPR mandates staring you down. Or maybe you’ve already had a letter from an authority, and now the panic’s setting in.
We get that. And we also know this:
Regulators don’t care about your story. They care about your systems.
We’ve worked with businesses that thought they were “fine”… until the audit. Others were losing money due to inefficient compliance management. Worse, some didn’t even know they were at risk until they were already under investigation.
If you’re serious about fixing that, we’ll show you how.
Schedule a consultation – find out where you stand before someone else tells you.
Created for businesses operating in and across the Netherlands. These services weren’t created in a boardroom. They were developed in response to what regulators are actually enforcing — and what businesses actually need to remain functional, protected, and competitive.
We perform full-scale compliance risk assessments under Dutch and EU legal frameworks. That means mapping your current processes to key directives like MiFID II, GDPR, AMLD6, and PSD2 — depending on your sector — and testing them against enforcement patterns from DNB, AFM, and AP.
How this solves your problem:
You stop guessing and start understanding where the regulatory issues are. We’ll show you how to reduce or eliminate risk immediately — before the penalties do it for you.
The rules are always changing. Most firms fall out of compliance not because they’re careless, but because they’re not monitoring legal updates that impact cross-border trade, fintech operations, or client data handling.
We set up systems that detect regulatory changes (CRD V, CSRD, DAC7, and more), evaluate business impact, and apply internal policy adjustments.
How this helps:
You stay ahead of changing laws, not behind them. This avoids future setbacks and prevents the chaos that follows unexpected legislation — like the €10M GDPR fines some firms faced in 2023.
We develop compliance management systems from scratch or fix your existing setup. Then we evaluate it the way a regulator would. From KYC documentation to whistleblower procedure enforcement, we reinforce your operations to hold up under scrutiny.
Why it matters:
You’ll be ready before the audit notice arrives. That alone could save your company six figures in legal and consulting expenses.
We specialise in setting up Anti-Money Laundering programs that are FATF-compliant and meet DNB standards. We establish documentation, design suspicious transaction reporting processes, and run practice drills simulating regulatory reviews.
Why it matters:
In 2024, DNB imposed €56 million in AML-related fines. Our systems help ensure your institution avoids being next.
We assess your data handling, create Article 30 Records of Processing Activities, conduct DPIAs, and establish rules for third-country data transfers. We also train your DPOs and staff.
Benefit:
Avoid those €20 million GDPR fines and reputational harm. You’ll know exactly how your data processing holds up when reviewed.
If you’re entering the Netherlands or working in several EU countries, you’re facing complex legal requirements. We outline local licensing obligations, notify or register with the proper authorities, and manage communication with regulators like AFM and BaFin.
Why it works:
You stay legally compliant while growing. No assumptions. No missed steps. Just accurate documentation and procedures from day one.
Policies mean little if your team can’t follow them. We review your manuals, convert legal jargon into step-by-step instructions, and train departments (Finance, Sales, Legal, HR) so compliance becomes part of everyday work.
Result:
Fewer human errors. More consistency in application. Better outcomes when regulators talk to your team.
Already failed an audit? Been fined? We step in after the fact to correct the problems. That includes report updates, retrospective AML reviews, regulator communication, and internal investigations with legal oversight.
What that means for you:
Damage control. Protection of your reputation. And a chance to lower penalties or negotiate with regulators.

Look around. Most top firms in your search for “regulatory compliance consultant in the Netherlands” are designed for Fortune 100s. If you’re a mid-sized or growing company, they’ll either overcharge or overlook you.
We work with businesses that they ignore. And we do the work they skip.
Let’s get serious. Book a strategy call today. You’ll get clarity, not just paperwork.

Administrative fines can reach €20 million or 4% of global turnover, whichever is higher. The Dutch Data Protection Authority is increasing enforcement, especially for poor consent practices and missing DPIAs.
You must carry out Customer Due Diligence (CDD), ongoing transaction reviews, and suspicious activity reporting according to the Wwft. Non-compliance can result in revoked licenses and legal action.
DNB conducts both scheduled and surprise audits, focusing on governance, risk handling, and laws like PSD2, Solvency II, and IFR. What matters is your documentation, not your intent.
Yes, if your main activities involve large-scale handling of sensitive data. The DPO must be independent, trained, and listed with the AP. We help evaluate this and assist in setting up the role correctly.
Most issues involve passporting, financial licenses, and VAT under EU laws. We help determine if your business needs Dutch notification or full authorisation through AFM or DNB.
At least once a year, more often for high-risk sectors. We automate these reviews and include quarterly legal briefings based on your industry.
It depends on your current condition, documentation quality, and staff readiness. A clean setup can take 30–60 days. Post-fine remediation may take 90+ days. We don’t guess — we assess and tell you the facts.
You’re not here for templates. You’re not here for buzzwords.
You’re here because you need someone to take this off your plate — and do it correctly.
