When the regulator calls, you need to have the answer.
You're the person who'll be in that room. The CEO will look at you. The lawyer will ask: "What system do we have in place?" Your answer needs to be specific, documented, and defensible.
What the regulator will ask
Regulation (EU) 2024/900 is not a recommendation. These are the questions you'll be asked. Every single one needs an answer.
Every transparency notice must contain 15+ data points: sponsor, payer, amounts, targeting criteria, distribution channels, and more. You need to produce it immediately.
Publishers must verify a valid transparency notice exists before publication. If deficient: do not publish. You need the timestamp.
Transparency notices must be retained for 5 years, with full version history and change log. Every single version.
Competent authorities can request complete documentation at any time. Not tomorrow. Now.
The regulation gives Member States real enforcement power. This is not a theoretical number.
Your answers
Every tool in The Taurus exists to answer a specific question the regulator will ask.
Generated per notice. Cryptographically verifiable. Contains all mandatory data per Art. 9 plus creation and approval metadata.
Complete, timestamped custody trail. Shows who entered, reviewed, and approved which data and when.
Every change documented, every version retrievable. 5-year retention with full change history.
Bulk export of all notices, reports, and audit trails. At the push of a button. The moment the regulator asks.
Three steps to defensible compliance
The Taurus is built for compliance officers who need to not just be compliant, but prove it.
Set up your organization. Define roles: who creates, who reviews, who approves. Configure defaults for your channels.
The guided wizard ensures every field is complete. Auto-save prevents data loss. Version history tracks every change.
Compliance certificates, liability chain reports, bulk exports — ready when the regulator asks.
Role-based access control
Define clearly who can do what. Separation of creation, review, and approval is a core principle of good compliance.
Full control. Sets organization settings, manages users, approves final notices. Typical: compliance lead, management.
Creates and edits transparency notices. Can submit for review but not approve. Typical: campaign manager, case worker.
Read-only access to all notices and reports. Can export and view but not modify. Typical: external auditors, legal department.
Audit trail: every change documented
This is what the lifecycle of a transparency notice looks like in The Taurus — every step with timestamp and user.
Monday morning. 8:47 AM. The compliance director opens The Taurus. Dashboard: 47 chapters with active compliance links to local newspapers. 3 chapters running their own campaigns with Advertiser Pro. 156 published notices across the state. Zero unresolved complaints. This isn't a product demo — it's a typical Tuesday.
No budget? No problem.
You don't need budget approval to start. Your branches create free compliance chapters. Your publishers link via compliance links. Data flows. Complaints route. You have a compliance posture — for free.
When you're ready to publish your own notices, upgrade.
