Shadow AI and forgotten SaaS surface instantly
Montro scans your entire technology landscape continuously
Excel was never the answer
An overwhelming 82% of Data Protection Officers still manage their Article 30 register using Excel spreadsheets. While once manageable, the rise of shadow AI has made this approach increasingly untenable and risky.

Capabilities
What Montro does for your register
Three things that matter to DPOs managing GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Finds every tool automatically
Shadow AI and forgotten SaaS applications surface without manual audits or spreadsheet chasing.
Classifies against regulations
Each tool is automatically assessed against Article 30, Article 28, and Article 50 thresholds.
Discovery
Keeps your register current continuously
New processing activities are captured and documented as they happen, not discovered during audits.
Obligations
Four regulations, one unified workflow
Montro consolidate your Article 30 register, Article 28 vendor assessments, Article 50 AI transparency, and DORA ICT tracking into a single system. No more parallel spreadsheets or switching between tools.
Article 30 record of processing
Your RoPA updates automatically as new applications and AI systems enter your organisation, eliminating the discovery lag that plagues spreadsheet-based registers.
Article 28 processor compliance
Montro identifies which vendors require Data Processing Agreements and surfaces gaps in your existing contracts before auditors do.
Article 50 AI system transparency
AI interactions are flagged automatically so you can disclose them to people as Article 50 requires — keeping your organisation ahead of the requirement, not catching up with it.
DORA Article 8 ICT register
For DPOs at financial services firms, critical ICT dependencies are tracked separately and reported according to regulatory expectations without manual intervention.
FAQs
Questions about Montro's approach to Article 30, Article 28, and Article 50 compliance.
Montro scans your entire technology estate—cloud applications, APIs, local tools, and AI systems—and maps each one against your existing Article 30 register. When it finds something new, it flags it as a processing activity requiring documentation. This happens continuously, not quarterly.
