Group compliance Meridian runs three countries from one platform, without flattening the local differences
Maria Holm leads GRC at Meridian Nordic. The group is a Danish parent plus Meridian Sverige and Meridian Deutschland, so that's three entities, three sets of local habits, and one board that wants a single answer on where compliance stands. If each company kept its own spreadsheets, then a group view meant a week of chasing and stitching. But with Group Companies in .legal the group documents once, each company reflects it, and Maria can show the whole group or one entity in a click.
-
One record of processing, vendor list and policy set at group level, reused by all three companies.
-
Sweden and Germany still hold the data that's genuinely theirs, national rules included.
-
A group update, like a new transfer basis for a shared vendor, lands in every company at once.
-
Board reporting is a filter now, not a fire drill.
Group compliance One structure, every entity
Most groups aren't one company, they're several, often in different countries. The Group Companies add-on runs all of them in one platform instead of an environment per entity.
-
Model your real group: parent plus subsidiaries, in one place.
-
Switch the add-on on and group functionality appears across policies, processes, contracts and more.
-
It works on new and existing documentation, so you don't start over.
Group compliance Write once, reflect everywhere
Group-level documentation is meant to be reused. Write it once and every company reflects it, so nobody redoes the same work three times.
-
A group policy or process is authored once and inherited by each entity.
-
Change it at group level and the update lands in every company instantly.
-
Revise a shared vendor's transfer basis once, and all three entities are covered.
Group compliance Room for local difference
Not everything is group-wide. Where an entity needs its own data, for a national rule or a local vendor, it keeps it in the same environment.
-
Mark a contract, process or asset as group-level or owned by one company.
-
A shared vendor can be used differently by each company.
-
Local knowledge stays with the local entity, no separate system needed.
Group compliance See the group, or one company
Access follows your group structure, so people see exactly the slice they should.
-
Scope a user to a single company and they only view and edit that entity.
-
Give group-level access and they can filter to one company or see the consolidated view.
-
One set of roles covers the whole group.
Group compliance Compliance inside the group too
Compliance isn't only about outside parties. You can map how your own companies work together and document group-internal transfers.
-
Record which entities share data or services with each other.
-
Document group-internal transfers alongside the external ones.
-
Keep the internal picture as audit-ready as the external one.
Group compliance Rails, not the writing
Group Companies gives you the structure, not the substance. It won't write your documentation or interpret any country's law for you.
-
You bring the documentation and the local expertise, we give the group-level rails.
-
There's no national-law engine, so inheriting across borders is your call, not an automated one.
-
Your content is left untouched, English stays English and Danish stays Danish.
Group compliance Frameworks this covers
