Turn Regulatory Complexity Into Controlled Risk

See your regulatory exposure clearly, prioritize what matters most, and reduce the likelihood of incidents, violations, and operational disruptions.

Managing Regulatory Risk to Safeguard Operations

Regulatory uncertainty and operational risk go hand in hand. Understanding your organization’s regulatory readiness helps avoid costly penalties and unplanned downtime.

Dakota’s ProActivity Suite, powered by our continually updated regulatory database, functions as a regulatory risk operating system. It gives EHS and risk managers tactical tools and practical insights to gauge their regulatory exposure, stay ahead of evolving obligations, and make informed decisions as operations change.

Built for Enterprise-Wide Risk Visibility and Control

Risk Management Challenges

  • Regulatory obligations that shift as rules and operations change, with no reliable way to track the impact
  • Limited visibility into which sites are failing to review and incorporate regulatory changes
  • Difficulty prioritizing compliance gaps by financial and operational impact
  • Elevated exposure at RMP and PSM-covered facilities, where compliance gaps can mean serious incidents, not just a fine
  • Management system certifications (ISO 45001, ISO 14001, Responsible Care) that demand continuous evidence, not periodic scrambling

How Dakota Helps You Solve Them

  • Regulatory change notifications prompt review of site-specific legal registers and compliance calendars
  • Regulatory Readiness dashboards show which site are keeping pace with regulatory changes
  • Penalty Risk analytics compare OSHA and EPA enforcement data with your own audit findings highlighting financial exposures
  • Plain-language regulatory guidance, interpreted by Dakota’s in-house experts, turns complex requirements into clear, actionable steps
  • Manage high-hazard programs and EHS management system frameworks in one integrated platform
