Rui Barreira — Founder of EuroComply
Rui Barreira is the founder of EuroComply and CTO of kununu GmbH. He has 20+ years of engineering leadership experience focused on EU regulatory compliance, having led GDPR, NIS2, and EU AI Act implementations at scale. He is based in Porto, Portugal.
Why EuroComply
The European compliance software market is bimodal: large enterprises have OneTrust, Vanta, Drata, and a six-figure consulting bill; SMEs have a PDF checklist and a prayer. EuroComply exists to give the middle of the European economy the same operational tooling — AI Act risk classification, GDPR ROPA / DPIA management, NIS2 scoping, sovereignty audits — without the enterprise price tag and without shipping their data to a US cloud provider.

Editorial role at EuroComply
Content on eurocomply.app is published under collective bylines (the EuroComply Team and the EuroComply Compliance Team) — see the editorial policy for the publication-and-review process. Rui Barreira is the operator of the platform and final reviewer of regulatory positions; the collective bylines reflect that compliance content is produced against EUR-Lex source texts by a team of analysts rather than under any single named author.
