SOVERN's proprietary Regulation-as-Code methodology is the result of years of research and development at the intersection of legal expertise, software engineering, and regulatory compliance. Our approach transforms complex legal text into structured, executable code that can be deployed across organizations and jurisdictions.
Unlike traditional approaches to regulatory compliance that rely on manual interpretation and implementation, our methodology creates a direct, traceable link between regulatory text and executable code, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and adaptability as regulations evolve.
Preserving the intent and requirements of regulations through formal representation techniques that capture both explicit rules and implicit principles.
Translating regulatory requirements into precise, deterministic code that can be executed consistently across different contexts and environments.
Maintaining complete traceability from source regulation to code implementation to execution, enabling verification, auditing, and accountability.
Designing for regulatory change with versioning, modular components, and impact analysis to ensure continuous compliance as regulations evolve.
A systematic approach to transforming regulations into executable code
Our legal experts analyze regulations to identify requirements, obligations, and compliance pathways. This involves breaking down complex legal text into structured components that can be translated into code.
We map regulatory requirements to data structures and logical relationships, creating a formal representation of the regulation that preserves its intent while making it machine-readable.
Our engineers transform the structural map into executable code with full traceability back to the source regulation, ensuring that every line of code can be traced back to specific regulatory requirements.
We rigorously test the code against regulatory requirements and edge cases to ensure that it accurately implements the regulation in all scenarios, with formal verification methods where applicable.
We deploy the code as digital workflows with continuous monitoring and updates, ensuring that the implementation remains accurate and up-to-date as regulations evolve.
The technical architecture and tools that power our transformation methodology
Our data modeling approach captures the complex relationships and entities defined in regulations, creating a structured representation that can be used for code generation.
Our rule engines implement the logical requirements of regulations, with support for complex conditions, temporal logic, and uncertainty handling.
Our workflow orchestration system coordinates the execution of regulatory processes across stakeholders, with support for long-running transactions and compensating actions.
Our methodology includes a continuous update process that ensures regulatory implementations remain current as regulations evolve.
Continuous tracking of regulatory changes and updates across jurisdictions.
Assessment of how regulatory changes impact existing implementations and workflows.
Controlled rollout of updated regulatory implementations with version management.
Real-world examples of how our methodology transforms complex regulations
Regulation (EU) 2023/956
Our methodology transformed the complex CBAM regulation into executable workflows for emissions calculation, certificate management, and customs integration.
Directive (EU) 2022/2464
We applied our methodology to transform the CSRD into a structured reporting framework with automated data collection, validation, and disclosure generation.
