Partnership Announcement
Two leading compliance platforms are joining forces to help global businesses move beyond checkbox compliance and into truly automated, operational privacy infrastructure.
We’re thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Captain Compliance and EU Presence — a European governance, compliance, and operational infrastructure platform built for companies navigating the EU market from anywhere in the world.
This partnership brings together two complementary technologies to create a more unified, automated compliance experience. Captain Compliance’s industry-leading cookie consent management technology will integrate directly with EU Presence workflows, while EU Presence services will become available natively within the Captain Compliance ecosystem.
“We’re building the infrastructure layer for companies operating in Europe. By combining EU Presence workflows with Captain Compliance’s consent management technology, we can help businesses automate privacy operations at a much deeper level.”
— Albi Zhulali, Founder & CEO, EU Presence
What EU Presence brings to the table
EU Presence is a comprehensive platform that unifies regulatory compliance, operational workflows, and automation for companies operating across EU jurisdictions. At its core is the Privacy Center — a public-facing trust and compliance portal for managing privacy requests, policies, certifications, and governance workflows. It integrates with more than 1,000 external tools and offers robust APIs for internal systems.
The platform covers five major governance and compliance areas:
| Area | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Privacy | GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA & 15+ frameworks |
| Content Safety | DSA workflows & representation |
| Cyber Resilience | NIS2 workflows & incident reporting |
| AI Governance | AI Act workflows, registry & conformity assessments |
| Product Safety | GPSR workflows & product recall management |
Beyond compliance infrastructure, EU Presence also provides a full suite of operational services including Employer of Record (EOR), Contractor of Record (COR), payroll processing, EU company formation, and virtual address services — making it a true one-stop operational layer for international businesses entering or expanding within Europe.
What the integration means for you
For Captain Compliance users, this partnership opens up a significantly more powerful compliance workflow. The integration strengthens four key areas that matter most to companies managing complex, cross-border data operations:
- Consent & preference management — tighter alignment between cookie consent and downstream data governance
- Data mapping workflows — a clearer, more connected picture of how data flows across your systems
- DSR automation — faster, more reliable fulfillment of data subject requests end-to-end
- Opt-out request orchestration — automated propagation of opt-outs across your entire technology stack
The result is a compliance stack that doesn’t just document your obligations — it actively fulfills them. From the moment a data subject makes a request, to the automated orchestration of opt-outs across your entire technology stack, the combined platform keeps everything connected and auditable.
This is particularly powerful for companies operating internationally, where the regulatory landscape continues to grow in complexity. Whether you’re navigating GDPR in Germany, DSA content moderation requirements, or AI Act conformity assessments, the partnership means your consent layer and your governance workflows are finally speaking the same language.
What’s next
We’re actively working on deeper integrations between the two platforms. If you’re a current Captain Compliance customer and want early access to EU Presence workflows — or if you’re looking to streamline your EU compliance operations — reach out to our team. We’d love to walk you through what’s now possible and make a formal intro to EU Presence.
We’re excited about where this partnership is heading, and even more excited about what it means for the businesses we collectively serve.
