Chaperone: Compliance, managed and verified · Mitochondria
Chaperone · Compliance, managed and verified

Chaperone keeps compliance in order.

Compliance runs in two directions. An organisation proves its own standing to regulators and customers, and verifies the standing of its suppliers and contractors. Chaperone holds both. It knows which documents should exist, reads what arrives, checks each against the rule it has to meet, and raises what does not hold, with a person confirming every call. Regulated operations stay audit-ready, so external audits come round less often and weigh less when they do.

In a cell, a chaperone is a protein with one job: it helps other proteins fold into their correct shape, and stops them clumping into something harmful. Chaperone does the same for compliance. Every document in the right shape against its rule, and the whole picture sound. Everything compliance, in one system.

Efficiency, without disruption.

Chaperone works inside the systems and routines already in place. The checking that fills a compliance week runs continuously in the background, and the hours come back to the team.

You run compliance
The checking comes off the desk.
Documents read and run against the rule, with only the decisions brought to you. Chasing paper becomes confirming judgement.
You run operations
Audits weigh less.
Readiness is continuous, so external audits arrive to a record already in order. The saving is measurable against current audit costs.
You carry the risk
Exposure, visible and narrowing.
Issues are caught before they reach an auditor or a regulator, and the organisation's standing is visible at any moment.
You answer for a value chain
The supplier base, at a glance.
One folder per supplier or contractor, tracked for validity and completeness, chased with automated reminders.

And the requirement lives in the system. The person holding a document sends it where documents already go. Chaperone knows what the rule requires and asks for what is missing in plain language, so compliance stops depending on everyone understanding the regulation.

It works the way a careful auditor would.

Chaperone reads each document, identifies the rule it must meet, and checks the two against each other. Figures are checked for units and plausibility on arrival. What passes is recorded. What does not is brought to a person, in plain language.

THE DOCUMENT THE RULE CHAPERONE CHECKS PASSES FLAGGED A PERSON CONFIRMS LEARNS EVERY CHECK STAYS ON THE RECORD

Checks that catch what matters.

Built or modelled with clients. The same pattern extends to any document that must meet a rule you can state.

Edited documents
The hand-edited final, re-checked
The edited version is re-read against the policy, and what the change broke is flagged: an entry over a cap, a field past what the rule allows.
Figures at entry
Checked for units and plausibility
A figure keyed or extracted is checked for unit consistency and for plausibility against its own history. An anomaly is flagged before it travels into a return or a report.
Regulatory limits
Returns checked against the limit
A return or bill is checked against the approved limit, consent volume, or quota, and an overrun is flagged before it is filed.
Certification requirements
Evidence ready before the visit
The evidence a buyer's code or a certifier's standard calls for is gathered, checked, and complete before the audit is booked.
Suppliers and contractors
One folder per supplier
A folder per supplier or contractor, tracked for validity and completeness, with status visible across the whole base.
Renewals and versions
Renewal reminders
Licences, certificates, consents, and policies tracked by renewal and version, surfaced well before anything expires.

Cautious by design.

Compliance is a place for caution, so Chaperone is built to be checked.

The rules are explicit.
You see the rule each document is checked against, and you set what happens when a check fails. Nothing is judged in the dark.
A person holds the decision.
Chaperone proposes and your team confirms. It widens its own autonomy only as you watch it earn trust on the calls that matter.
Everything stays on the record.
Every document read, rule applied, and decision made is logged, ready to put in front of an auditor.
Your data stays yours.
Documents are processed transiently, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used to train shared models. The terms sit in a DPA compliant with GDPR, UK GDPR, and DPDP, and Mitochondria is ISO 27001:2022 certified.

We started where it is hardest.

Most compliance software begins with the documents that are easy to check. Chaperone was shaped against the opposite, regulated manufacturing, the version of the problem with the most rules and the most frequent audits. What holds there holds anywhere. The same register runs in both directions: the compliance an organisation proves, and the compliance it verifies across its suppliers. With SEBI's value chain disclosures now on the BRSR Core assurance glide path, the outward half is becoming a filing requirement for listed companies. The same system carries food, pharma, energy, and financial services, and for sustainability and ESG disclosure its sibling BRSR Close goes deeper still.

PROVES · UPWARD Regulators Customers Certifiers Your organisation Suppliers Contractors Sites VERIFIES · DOWNWARD
Proves, upward
Regulators, customers, certifiers. The evidence the organisation must produce, assembled and checked before it is asked for.
Verifies, downward
Suppliers, contractors, sites. One folder per counterparty, tracked for validity and completeness, chased with reminders.

Start light. Widen as it earns it.

Chaperone starts where the risk is lowest and widens as the team watches it work.

The base
Tracked, with reminders.
Every document tracked by renewal, expiry, and version, for your own records or a supplier base, with reminders before anything lapses. Quick to stand up, and useful from day one.
The checks
Read and checked against the rule.
Documents read and checked against their rules, with flags brought to a person to confirm. The layer that catches what manual review misses.
The autonomy
Routine checks run on their own.
Chaperone runs the routine checks, escalates only what needs judgement, and keeps the full trail. The point where audit-readiness becomes continuous.

Where you start, and how fast you widen, is something we size with you. Get in touch for the detail.

Worth asking.

How is this different from a document management system?

A document store keeps files. Chaperone knows what should be in them, and what should exist at all.

It knows which documents an operation should hold, reads and checks the ones that arrive, and raises what is missing, due to lapse, or failing its rule. Nothing in a folder announces its own absence, so Chaperone works from what should be there. It runs on top of the store you already use.

Can it track suppliers and contractors as well as our own documents?

Yes. The same checking, pointed outward.

One folder per counterparty, tracked for validity and completeness against what each should hold. Reminders chase the supplier directly, and status across the whole base is visible at a glance. What Chaperone does for a department, it does for a supply chain.

Do the people submitting documents need to know the regulation?

No. The requirement lives in the system.

The person holding a bill or a certificate sends it where documents already go. Chaperone knows what the rule requires, checks the document against it, and asks for what is missing in plain language. Compliance stops depending on everyone understanding the regulation.

Does it replace our auditors or compliance team?

No. It does the checking so they can do the judgement.

Chaperone handles the repetitive reading and cross-checking that fills a compliance team's week, and brings the exceptions to a person. Your team makes the calls and signs off, with far less manual work to get there.

What can it check against?

Any rule you can state, from a regulation to your own policy.

Statutory rules, standards, licence conditions, internal policies, whatever a document has to meet. Where a rule is written down, Chaperone can be set to check against it. We work the rule set out with you.

Does it connect to where our documents already live?

Yes, through your existing document store.

Chaperone reads from the store you use, a shared drive or a document system, through its API. It verifies the documents in place, so nothing moves and nothing is duplicated.

How does data work?

Your data stays in your environment, and is never used to train shared models.

Documents and checks are processed transiently, encrypted in transit and at rest. Your documents, rules, and records stay with you. The terms are set out in our DPA, compliant with GDPR, UK GDPR, and DPDP, and Mitochondria is ISO 27001:2022 certified.

What about ESG and BRSR reporting?

That has its own system, BRSR Close.

Sustainability and BRSR disclosure is specialised enough to deserve a dedicated tool, so it sits in BRSR Close. Chaperone covers the rest of your compliance, and the two share an architecture.

How quickly can it start?

The tracking base stands up fast. The checks follow.

The renewal and version base is quick to put live and useful immediately. The verification layer is scoped to your documents and rules, and widens as your team confirms its calls. We map the sequence on the walkthrough.
