Simplata Solutions was founded on a single conviction: regulatory intelligence should be accessible to every business, not just the ones that can afford armies of lawyers and consultants.
Simplata Solutions was born from frustration. Our founders watched brilliant compliance professionals spend the majority of their time doing something no one should have to do: hunting through scattered, outdated sources to find the regulations that governed their business.
There was no single, reliable, comprehensive source of regulatory truth. So we built one.
AskSprut launched as our flagship product with a clear mission: aggregate, organize, and continuously maintain the world's regulatory intelligence — and make it accessible to any compliance professional, in any industry, anywhere.
Today, AskSprut indexes over 2 million regulations across more than 1,400 industries. But the mission hasn't changed: help businesses navigate a complex regulatory world with ease and confidence.
Every regulation in AskSprut is sourced from authoritative primary sources and verified for accuracy. We don't guess. We don't approximate. We prove.
No industry should be left behind. We're relentless about expanding our coverage across sectors, jurisdictions, and regulatory bodies — because compliance doesn't stop at borders.
Regulatory intelligence shouldn't require a law degree to interpret. AskSprut presents complex regulations in clear, searchable, actionable formats — for everyone on the compliance team.
Compliance decisions carry real consequences. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of data integrity, security, and reliability — because your team depends on what we build.
An octopus is the perfect metaphor for what AskSprut does. Think about it: eight arms, each capable of working independently, yet perfectly coordinated — simultaneously reaching into manufacturing regulations, healthcare standards, financial compliance, food safety law, and more.
Octopuses are also notoriously intelligent and adaptive. They solve problems. They navigate complex environments with ease. They remember. And they operate across diverse habitats — just like AskSprut operates across diverse industries.
Sprut (the Russian and Nordic word for octopus) is our reminder that compliance doesn't have to be intimidating. It can be smart, agile, and — dare we say — kind of fun.
"Regulatory intelligence should be a right, not a privilege. Every business deserves to know the rules they're operating under — clearly, completely, and without hunting for them."— Simplata Solutions, Mission Statement
