Legal Register
Know which laws apply to you, and prove you're meeting them — with evidence, not assertions.
The problem it solves
Every auditor asks for it. Most SMEs answer with a spreadsheet.
A Legal Register is supposed to be your live record of the legislation that applies to your business, and your evidence that you're meeting it. In practice, it's usually a spreadsheet built once for a certification audit and never opened again — legislation changes, nobody notices, and the "evidence" is a folder of PDFs nobody can find.
Okuda treats your Legal Register as a system of record, not a one-off exercise.
Who it's for
Anyone who has to answer "how do you know?"
Quality managers, compliance leads and operations directors at SMEs who are certified — or working toward certification — against ISO 9001 or a similar framework, and who need to demonstrate compliance obligations to auditors, regulators or customers on demand, not just once a year.
What it does
Six capabilities, built to hold up under scrutiny.
Scoped to the standards you hold
Your register is seeded from a curated baseline against the standards you're certified to, rather than dumping the entire statute book on you and calling that coverage. You review what's in scope and record a decision on each entry.
A recorded applicability decision
Every entry is explicitly marked applicable or not applicable by a named person, and the assessment history is kept. "It doesn't apply to us" becomes a decision you can show, not an omission an auditor has to take on trust.
Owned, with a live status
Each entry has a named owner and a compliance status, so status is a live answer instead of something you reconstruct the week before an audit.
New legislation reaches you
A scheduled sync tracks new legislation published on legislation.gov.uk and raises it in-app and in a nightly digest, so the register stays current between audits rather than being rebuilt before one.
Evidence at a point in time
Attach evidence to the specific obligation and moment it relates to, so you can show an auditor exactly what you knew and did — and when.
Field-level audit trail
Every change to every field is logged: who changed it, when, and what it was before. Nothing is quietly edited after the fact.
If it isn't versioned, owned and traceable, it doesn't count.
