Dakota Software Regulatory Database

The foundation of proactive EHS compliance. Curated, current, and built for action.

Your Single Source of Regulatory Truth

EHS compliance requirements are complex, expansive, and constantly evolving. Most EHS teams don’t have the time or specialized expertise to research and interpret them on their own.

Dakota’s in-house Regulatory Analysts do that work continuously, translating requirements into the structured content that drives your regulatory registers, compliance calendars, and audit programs.

Thoughtfully Maintained. Purposefully Delivered.

Dakota’s in-house Regulatory Analysts don’t just monitor changes. They interpret, prioritize, and deliver regulatory intelligence that your teams can act on.

Meaningful

Only what requires action. Our analysts interpret each requirement and publish the obligations that drive real compliance activity, not regulatory noise.

Relevant

Specific to your facilities. Applicability profiles ensure your team sees the requirements that apply to their sites, processes, and operating conditions — nothing more, nothing less.

Current

Updated as regulations change. Our analysts continuously track federal, state, and international rulemaking, identifying substantive changes and reflecting them in your compliance program.

Accessible

Delivered where it’s needed. Plain-language overviews, audit questions, and compliance tasks are built into the workflows your team uses every day.

What’s Inside the Dakota Regulatory Library?

Our database is a structured system for driving real-world compliance.

Regulatory Modules

Detailed, curated regulatory content covering core U.S. regulations from agencies such as the EPA, OSHA, and DOT, organized by topic and activity to streamline applicability and task assignment. Each module includes applicability questions, compliance summaries, and linked tasks for easier audit preparation and regulatory alignment.

State Exceptions

Go beyond federal law with built-in support for state-specific variations. Dakota’s analysts track and document state-level exceptions (e.g., California’s unique air quality and hazardous waste standards) ensuring your compliance program reflects localized requirements.

International

Expand your program globally with support for international compliance through our partner Enhesa. This option brings regulatory content from over 300 jurisdictions worldwide into the Dakota platform, making it easier to scale your EHS program across regions.
