Why Law4Devs

EU compliance requirements shouldn't require a law degree to find.

Your product has NIS2 obligations. Your IoT device has CRA requirements. Your platform processes data under GDPR. Law4Devs tells you exactly which articles apply to you — structured, filterable, always current. No PDFs. No lawyers. No scrapers.

The Alternative

What it actually looks like without us.

Every time a regulation is published or amended

  1. 1

    Find the regulation

    You search EUR-Lex and locate the PDF. 150 pages for NIS2. 68 pages for CRA. More for GDPR.

  2. 2

    Read and annotate

    You (or a consultant at €250–500/hr) read the relevant sections and highlight what seems to apply.

  3. 3

    Translate to tasks

    You turn annotations into implementation tasks — manually, based on your interpretation.

  4. 4

    Implement, then repeat

    6 months later the regulation is amended. You find out from a LinkedIn post. You start over.

With Law4Devs

GET /v1/frameworks/nis2/articles
    ?applies_to=SaaS
    &role=technical

→ 200 OK · 34ms · structured JSON
   · always current · official source

The articles that apply to you. Tagged by obligation type and technical role. Updated automatically when EUR-Lex publishes amendments. In all 6 SDKs, ready to ship.

That's the entire process.

What You Get

Four things you stop doing immediately.

Query only what applies to you

Filter by framework, product type, sector, company size, or obligation role. Get the exact articles that concern your situation — nothing more, nothing less.

Never fall behind on amendments

EUR-Lex publishes amendments constantly. We track every one. When NIS2 is updated, your API response reflects it automatically. You monitor nothing.

From PDF to JSON

Every article, recital, and annex across all 19 frameworks is structured, tagged, and ready to query. No parsing. No interpretation. Verbatim from the official EUR-Lex source.

One API. 19 frameworks. 6 SDKs.

GDPR, NIS2, CRA, AI Act, DORA and 14 more. Python, TypeScript, Java, Rust, PHP, Dart. One integration covers your entire EU regulatory surface.

ROI

What it costs to build this yourself.

Without Law4Devs

  • Parsing 1 framework from EUR-Lex~2 dev days
  • Engineering cost at market rate€800–1,600 / framework
  • All 19 frameworks — upfront€15,000–30,000
  • Quarterly maintenance1–2 dev days / month
  • Annual maintenance€9,600–19,200 / year
  • RiskSilent failures → stale data

With Law4Devs

  • Time to first API call60 seconds
  • Monthly cost (Pro)€99 / month
  • Annual cost€1,188 / year
  • Frameworks covered19 and growing
  • MaintenanceOur problem, not yours
  • Amendment trackingIncluded — always current

The math is not close. At €99/month you are not paying for an API. You are buying back 3 months of engineering time.

Legal Risk

The cost of getting it wrong.

Compliance data is not a commodity. A single misread of the NIS2 scope of applicability could mean misclassifying your product's risk category — a gap regulators exploit. Law firms charge €250–500/hour to extract and annotate EUR-Lex requirements. Law4Devs delivers structured, role-tagged requirements queryable in milliseconds.

The EU fined organisations €4.5 billion under GDPR between 2018 and 2024. NIS2 introduces fines of up to €10 million or 2% of global revenue. CRA non-compliance can block product sales across the EU. The question is not "can we afford Law4Devs?" — it's "can we afford to rely on a homemade scraper?"

Law4Devs data is sourced from EUR-Lex — the official EU law repository operated by the Publications Office of the European Union. Not scraped. Not interpreted. Not repackaged from a third party. Official source, structured for developers.

Use Cases

Does this sound familiar?

You're building a compliance product

Before

Your product needs to display NIS2 obligations for your users. You hire a legal content team. Every amendment triggers a manual update cycle. Every new framework is a sprint.

After

Query the API. Filter by framework, obligation type, and role. New frameworks added automatically. Your product stays current without touching the codebase.

Your product is subject to CRA or AI Act

Before

Legal sends you Article 13 in a highlighted PDF. You read it, guess at scope, miss Article 14. Six months later it's amended and nobody noticed.

After

GET /v1/frameworks/cra/articles/13 — obligations structured, linked to related articles, tagged by what's required of your product category. Tickets in minutes, not weeks.

You need to track your company's regulatory position

Before

A consultant gives you a static spreadsheet updated once a year. When DORA is amended, you find out from a LinkedIn post. You're always reacting.

After

A live API endpoint filtered to your sector, size, and applicable frameworks. When something changes, your system sees it before you do. You stop chasing PDFs.
