( COMING SOON · GOVERNED. NOT GRUMPY. )

Everything you need for the AI era. Governed.

A complete governed operating framework for EU financial services. DORA, the EU AI Act, NIS2, GDPR and the payments regime (PSD2, the Instant Payments Regulation, PCI DSS), mapped to the processes and controls that satisfy them. One flat annual fee, updates included when regulation changes. The bear is putting the finishing touches on the den.

Be first into the den

One click opens a pre-addressed email. Hit send and you're on the list for the launch date and founder pricing for the first licensees. Nothing else follows; the bear doesn't do drip campaigns.

✓ You're on the list. Talk soon.

One launch announcement + founder offer, then you're forgotten unless you reply. No sharing, no tracking pixels. Unsubscribe = one reply. GDPR the way we'd audit it.

Behind the door: your den

What a licence actually opens.

Every licence opens a private den on grumpybear.nl: an unguessable address plus credentials only your organisation holds, one den per client, nothing shared. Inside sits everything the licence includes: The Suite as an interactive framework, 11 domain handbooks, 11 assessment workbooks, the 55-template toolkit and the six-phase implementation guide, in 8 languages, refreshed automatically when regulation changes. No projects, no invoices: when the register moves, your den moves with it.

The workbooks (self-audit, maturity, payments governance, sovereign cloud readiness) are downloaded and completed inside your own environment. Your assessment data, your gaps, your scores never touch our servers. The den holds blank instruments; you hold the answers.

One den per organisation · credentials handed over on two separate channels · your door is ready within a day of licensing.

The next regulation is an update you already own.

11 domains, 78 processes and 68 controls, kept current for one flat annual rate. Nothing to install, nothing to re-map, and nothing to explain to your IT team.
