AI · Compliance · Cross-border

One company, six regulatory regimes, and the AI layer that holds them together.

For cross-border companies operating under SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, FedRAMP, CMMC, MDR, EU AI Act, DORA, and equivalents in parallel, where AI-driven compliance cross-mapping is becoming the only economically viable way to maintain unified posture without duplicating effort five or six times.

The cross-mapping problem is structural.

A US AI healthcare company serving the EU inherits FDA 510(k), MDR, GDPR, EU AI Act, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 obligations at minimum. A UAE-based fintech serving EU customers inherits DORA, GDPR, EU AI Act, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ADGM FSRA obligations. A DACH industrial firm with US federal customers inherits ITAR, EAR, CMMC, FedRAMP, ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and GDPR obligations.

The cross-mapping problem is structural, not optional. AI is increasingly the only realistic engine to maintain control unification across these stacks without proportionally expanding the compliance and legal team. The work splits cleanly. Counsel handles legal. Engineering handles implementation. The commercial layer is the third workstream and it sits with GMA.

How fragmented posture breaks deals.

  • A US fintech expanding to the EU treats SOC 2 evidence as DORA evidence by analogy. The EU customer's compliance audit surfaces the gaps. Renewal stalls.
  • A DACH medtech entering the US treats MDR conformity assessment as FDA 510(k) preparation. The FDA gates the submission. The US launch slips two quarters.
  • A UAE fintech serving multi-jurisdiction customers maintains separate compliance posture decks per regulator. Versions drift. A customer audit finds material contradictions across decks.
  • A Singapore AI vendor's customer-facing trust page lists ISO 27001 and SOC 2 in a single section without naming which control set applies under which framework. The EU customer's procurement team reads the page as marketing rather than as compliance.

The commercial-layer rebuild for cross-mapped posture.

GMA does not provide legal compliance advice. GMA does not implement compliance-automation software, does not draft policy, and does not produce audit evidence. Those workstreams stay with the client's counsel, IT, and compliance functions, and with the platform vendor where applicable.

GMA rebuilds the commercial layer that surfaces the cross-mapped compliance posture in a form that customers, partners, and procurement organisations across multiple jurisdictions can read uniformly:

  • Cross-jurisdiction trust architecture. Unified, machine-readable and human-readable representation of the firm's compliance posture across all relevant regulatory frameworks.
  • Customer-procurement-facing collateral that exposes cross-mapped evidence rather than fragmented per-jurisdiction decks.
  • AI-readable schema layer for procurement-agent reads. See AI buyer agents in cross-border procurement.
  • Cross-corridor positioning that names the firm's posture across the regulator pool the cross-border customer base actually queries.

Who this is for and who it is not for.

Cross-border firm operating under three or more major regulatory frameworks simultaneously. Revenue band twenty-five million to two billion dollars. Compliance-automation platform selected and being implemented (Drata, Vanta, Secureframe, Hyperproof, Sprinto, or equivalent). Commitment to commercial-layer rebuild aligned to cross-mapped posture.

Out of scope. Compliance-automation software implementation stays with the client's IT and counsel. Policy drafting stays with counsel. Audit evidence production stays with the compliance team and counsel. AI-vendor selection is the client's prerogative.

What the engagement looks like.

Cross-Border Build

Three to six months. Typical entry for cross-mapping commercial-layer rebuild across customer-facing trust architecture, procurement collateral, and AI-readable schema.

See the Build →

Group Partnership

Monthly retainer, twelve-month minimum. Ongoing posture maintenance across a changing regulatory environment, where the EU AI Act, DORA, and emerging APAC rules continue to shift the commercial-layer requirements.

See the Partnership →

Market Entry Sprint

Six to ten weeks. Available where one regulator's reading carries the immediate pressure (a single EU member state, a single FedRAMP package, a single UAE customer's onboarding).

See the Sprint →

GMA does not provide legal compliance advice.

GMA does not provide legal compliance advice on any of the frameworks named on this page. GMA does not implement Drata, Vanta, Secureframe, Hyperproof, Sprinto, or any compliance-automation platform. GMA does not draft policy, does not produce audit evidence, does not select AI vendors, and does not interpret regulator-specific obligations on the client's behalf. The commercial-layer rebuild operates downstream of the compliance posture counsel and engineering have set.

Frequently asked.

No. Implementation is done by the client's IT and compliance functions. GMA rebuilds the commercial-layer narrative that operates over the implemented platform.

No. GMA does not provide legal compliance advice. Legal compliance work continues with the client's counsel. GMA addresses the commercial-layer narrative that the customer, partner, and procurement organisation reads.

No. Audit evidence production stays with the client's compliance team and counsel. GMA does not draft policy and does not produce control evidence.

Inquiry through the contact form and a discovery conversation. Build and Group Partnership are typical entry. Pricing is confirmed in discovery, not on the public site.
