Regulatory Obligation Registry
Regulatory obligations need owners, due dates, and proof. EntiHub acts as compliance master data—not a GRC suite replacement, but a governed register.
Why this is needed
- Regulators expect ownership and evidence, not ad-hoc folders.
- Framework sprawl (GDPR, DORA, NIS2) needs one inventory.
- Status changes to “compliant” should be accountable.
