compliance software should mirror the regulation itself.
Most compliance tools are built by software companies who read the regulation once and then optimised for "generic SaaS best practices." The result: tools that feel like CRMs wearing a regulatory costume.
Gilbert is different. We are regulatory practitioners first — people who have spent 20+ years inside the systems we now build software for. We operate a Notified Body. We've sat in the audits. We know where every tool breaks because we've broken them ourselves.
Every Gilbert product maps article by article, annex by annex to the regulation it serves. No approximations. No generic workflows stretched to fit. Just software that mirrors what the law actually requires — built by people who actually understand it.
built by people who operated a Notified Body.
Robert and Giel spent two decades inside EU regulation — as senior regulatory managers, conformity assessment operators, consultants, and auditors. They saw the same problems everywhere. Gilbert is what they wish had existed from day one.
Robert van Spingelen
CO-FOUNDER · DIRECTOR
20+ years in regulatory affairs and commercial management across the fertilising products, drinking water, and chemical industries. Former senior commercial and regulatory manager with deep expertise in EU conformity assessment.
Giel Tettelaar
CO-FOUNDER · DIRECTOR
Deep technical and regulatory background in EU compliance, conformity assessment, and software design. Combines hands-on experience with modern engineering to create tools that actually work for practitioners.
"Having run a Notified Body, they know what it takes for a claim to survive scrutiny. Gilbert brings that discipline to every scan."
THE PROBLEM · ALWAYS
fragmented, broken tooling
Every company struggled with the same thing: fragmented documentation, overpowered Excel sheets that didn't align with the regulation, and tools that were either too generic or too outdated to actually help.
THE SPARK · 2026
building what we wished existed
Instead of waiting for someone else to build better tools, we founded Gilbert RegTech B.V. in Rotterdam — combining our regulatory expertise with modern software design to create compliance platforms that actually work.
TODAY · 2026
three products, five regulatory domains
Gilbert now spans the Empowering Consumers Directive, the EU Fertilising Products Regulation, and the Drinking Water Directive — with the Cyber Resilience Act and more on the roadmap.
four principles, no exceptions.
regulation-first design
Every input field, every check, every output maps directly to the regulation. We don't approximate. We align article by article, annex by annex — or we don't ship.
built for practitioners
Our software is designed for the people who actually do compliance work — not for IT departments or procurement teams. If it doesn't save you time, we haven't done our job.
no more Excel heroics
We've seen the 47-tab spreadsheets. The macros that break. The formulas nobody understands. Compliance deserves better tools than this — and we're building them.
deep expertise, modern tech
We combine 20+ years of hands-on regulatory experience with modern software engineering and applied AI. Neither alone is enough — the combination is the whole point.
