Most mid-sized regulated firms are not short of good intentions about compliance. They are short of hours. The obligations under DORA, the EU AI Act, NIS2 and GDPR did not arrive with a matching budget for headcount, and the people asked to absorb them, usually a head of compliance, a CISO or a COO wearing three hats, are already fully committed. The result is a familiar pattern: a burst of effort before a deadline, a set of documents that ages quietly, and a scramble the next time something changes.
Morclear exists to break that cycle. We are an Irish regulatory compliance firm working with mid-market regulated organisations across the European Union, and we treat compliance as something continuously managed rather than periodically rebuilt.
AI does the drafting. A person owns the output.
CORA™, our Compliance Operations and Risk Automation service, runs eight specialist modules built on the Anthropic Claude API. They draft incident reports, gap assessments, vendor risk registers, board papers, training material and regulator correspondence in a fraction of the time a person would take.
Then a compliance professional reads every line before it reaches you. That step is not a formality and it is not optional. When a supervisor asks who signed off on your ICT risk framework, the answer cannot be a chatbot. A compliance professional with AI beats AI without one, and it beats a compliance professional without AI too. That is the whole proposition.
Specialist, not general
Five EU frameworks, worked in depth. We do not also do tax, audit or deal advisory.
Managed, not delivered
The work continues between deadlines. Registers stay current, changes are picked up as they land.
One named person
You deal with the Managing Director directly. No rotating account team, no handover to a junior.
The frameworks we cover
DORA · Regulation (EU) 2022/2554EU AI Act · Regulation (EU) 2024/1689GDPR · Regulation (EU) 2016/679NIS2 · Directive (EU) 2022/2555ISO 27001:2022
These overlap far more than they are usually treated as overlapping. An ICT third-party register built for DORA answers a good part of what NIS2 expects. An AI system inventory built for the AI Act carries most of what a GDPR record of processing needs for the same system. We work them as one model rather than as five parallel projects, which is where a specialist earns its place.
Who we work with
Our core market is regulated financial services: banks, insurers, investment firms, payment and e-money institutions, fintechs and crypto-asset service providers. Beyond that we work with technology and SaaS companies, healthcare providers, critical infrastructure operators, professional services firms and public bodies. The common factor is size rather than sector, typically 50 to 2,000 employees, and a compliance obligation that has outgrown the time available to meet it.
How we operate
The firm
Morclear Limited is registered in the Republic of Ireland and is led by Micheal Morrissey MSc, DPO, Managing Director. Engagements are put in writing before work begins, under a confidentiality agreement and, where personal data is involved, a data processing agreement.
How we use AI
Morclear uses the Anthropic Claude API, contracted with Anthropic Ireland, Limited. Every AI output is reviewed and approved by a named professional before it is delivered, and the sign-off carries that name.
Client data is not used to train AI models. Data handling, retention and processing location are set out in the data processing agreement provided at engagement.
