# SaaS and Software

## Full Stack Compliance Support for SaaS and Software Providers

If you provide software or SaaS solutions to customers in the EU or UK, multiple regulatory frameworks may apply to your organisation. From data protection to cybersecurity and platform regulation, obligations often extend beyond a single law. Prighter supports a coordinated approach to privacy and digital governance compliance.

## Software Businesses Operate Across Borders

SaaS providers frequently serve customers in multiple jurisdictions without physical presence. This cross-border model can trigger representation requirements under EU and UK legislation. Understanding where your regulatory exposure sits is essential to a defensible compliance approach.

### Where SaaS Providers May Be in Scope

Your organisation may require representation if you:

- Process personal data of EU or UK individuals
- Offer subscription-based digital services across borders
- Host or manage user-generated content
- Provide infrastructure covered by cybersecurity regulation

## EU and UK GDPR Representation

If you are established outside the EU or UK and process personal data of individuals within those jurisdictions, you may be required to appoint a representative under GDPR or UK GDPR. Prighter acts as your formal contact point for supervisory authorities and data subjects, supporting your data protection compliance obligations.

## EU Digital Services Act Representation

Certain SaaS platforms and intermediaries offering services in the EU may be required to appoint a legal representative under the Digital Services Act. Prighter serves as your point of contact for competent authorities within the Union as part of a structured digital governance approach.

## Cybersecurity Representation

Depending on your services and infrastructure, EU NIS 2 or UK NIS Regulations may apply. Certain providers operating cross-border must appoint a local representative. Prighter provides formal representation aligned with your cybersecurity compliance obligations.

## A One-Stop Shop for SaaS Compliance

SaaS providers often face overlapping obligations across privacy, cybersecurity and digital regulation. Managing representation separately can create complexity and inefficiency. Prighter enables a coordinated representation model across EU and UK frameworks, supporting clarity and long-term compliance resilience.

## Representation Supported by Operational Capability

Appointing a representative addresses a legal requirement where applicable. Ongoing compliance requires structured processes and documentation. Prighter's Privacy Software supports the handling of data subject requests and accountability workflows under GDPR and UK GDPR.

### Operating Across the EU and UK?

SaaS providers commonly serve both EU and UK customers. Separate regulatory frameworks apply and representation requirements may differ.
