Modular Compliance was born from a simple frustration: NZ businesses were either paying enormous consultant fees to stay compliant, or guessing — and getting it wrong. We built the alternative.
New Zealand has a complex and frequently evolving compliance landscape. A small business might have obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Employment Relations Act, the Privacy Act 2020, and the Fair Trading Act — simultaneously. Each has its own requirements, its own risk of breach, and its own consequences for non-compliance.
The traditional answer was to hire consultants — expensive, episodic, and rarely proactive. You'd get a compliance review once a year, pay several thousand dollars, and hope nothing changed in the meantime. Of course, things always changed.
Generic overseas compliance platforms exist, but they're built around UK GDPR, US SOX, or global ISO standards. Retrofitting them to NZ law requires constant manual interpretation — work you end up paying someone to do anyway.
We built Modular Compliance as the platform we wished existed: purpose-built around NZ legislation, continuously monitored by AI, and priced for NZ SMEs — not multinational enterprises.
New Zealand technology company building AI-powered business tools. Instilligent is the parent company of Modular Compliance, and the developer behind instilligent.com.
Instilligent Limited is a New Zealand registered company (NZBN: 9429051796284) building AI-powered tools for NZ and Australian businesses. Our focus is on solving real business problems with practical AI — not AI for its own sake.
Modular Compliance is our flagship compliance product, built on the same platform philosophy that underpins all Instilligent tools: take a complex, expensive professional service category and make it accessible through well-designed software backed by AI.
We're a small team, which means we move fast, stay close to our customers, and build things that actually solve problems — rather than impressive-sounding features that nobody uses.
Instilligent products are built for the long term. Modular Compliance uses an audit trail that retains records for 7 years — because that's what NZ legislation requires, and that's what our customers need when a regulator comes knocking.
