About

Small, cited, current

Dutybound exists because most companies that use AI do not need a platform or a law firm to meet their first obligations. They need to know the dates, hold the right documents, and find help when it is needed.

Method

• Deadlines are taken from the legal texts and from named law-firm briefings, linked in every row, and re-checked weekly.
• Directory listings are written from the company's own website, record only what was on it, and show the page and date they were verified against. They are re-verified quarterly.
• Guides are few, cite their sources, and carry a review date. We would rather have twelve current pages than four hundred stale ones.
• The kit is written from the same facts, marks every point that needs counsel, and is updated quarterly with a changelog.

How this site makes money

Three ways, all labelled: the Compliance Kit, featured placements in the directory, and category sponsorship. None of them changes a fact, a listing's wording, a ranking or a guide.

Who runs it

Founder and editor: Michał Szymański (LinkedIn). Michał reviews every change the research routines propose before it is published, owns the corrections queue, and answers the contact form personally.

Dutybound is operated by ARATIR SYSTEMS PROSTA SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA, ul. Henryka Sienkiewicza 36/5, 26-600 Radom, Poland. KRS 0001205443, NIP 9482656010, REGON 543250363, registry court: Sąd Rejonowy Lublin-Wschód w Lublinie z siedzibą w Świdniku, VI Wydział Gospodarczy Krajowego Rejestru Sądowego. Research, verification and updates are carried out with AI assistance under a documented routine, and every published fact carries the source it was checked against.

Certification status

ISO/IEC 42001:2023: Not certified. We are preparing our own operation for ISO/IEC 42001 certification by an accredited body and will publish the certificate here when it is issued. Scope in preparation: the research, verification, publication and update processes behind Dutybound, including the AI agent routines.

The route, in order:

1. Buy the standard (ISO/IEC 42001:2023)
2. Write the AI management system documents: scope, objectives, risk assessment, Statement of Applicability
3. Run the system for one full cycle, with monthly metrics and a management review
4. Internal audit by an independent person
5. Choose a certification body accredited for ISO/IEC 42001
6. Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits
7. Publish the certificate here, with the body, certificate number and scope

Progress (updated 2026-09-22): done: Scope and certification plan written. Next: Buy the standard, then write the management system documents. We report each completed step on this page.

We display no certification marks until a certificate is issued, and we never use the ISO logo, which belongs to ISO.
