LEGITIMA INC.

What LEGITIMA INC. does

Legitima Inc. is an AI-driven compliance and document intelligence software company, operated by DECODE GR IKE — a Greek IKE entity headquartered in Athens (VAT EL802564325) — and built by the team that previously created dikaio.ai for Greek legal departments. The company's core product is the Legitima compliance platform, structured as a sequence of regulatory modules: KY-AI (active) for AI vendor risk scanning and EU AI Act classification; KY-Cyber (planned 2027) for NIS2, DORA, and CRA compliance; and KY-Workforce (planned 2028) for the EU Pay Transparency Directive and AI in HR. Under KY-AI the company ships seven free tools — AI Vendor Risk Scanner, AI Act Risk Classifier, Vendor Due Diligence Scanner, Contract Risk Detector, Business Compliance Map, Policy Generator, and GDPR Risk Detector — that scan vendor URLs, classify AI use cases, analyse contracts, map applicable regulations, and draft policies in roughly 30 seconds each.

The technology is an AI-powered compliance analysis stack combining natural language processing, generative AI, anomaly detection, and knowledge retrieval applied to publicly available vendor content, uploaded contracts (PDF/DOCX/TXT), and structured regulatory frameworks. The platform is built on Supabase infrastructure hosted within the EU and relies on third-party AI service providers for inference; results are explicitly disclaimed as AI-generated and not legal advice. Decode.gr serves as the core technology infrastructure partner and the legal operating entity.

The business model is product-led freemium. All seven tools are free and gated by a work-email lead form, generating top-of-funnel demand for a forthcoming continuous-monitoring subscription aimed at enterprise compliance teams. The company is onboarding 10 design partners in Q2 2026 for this paid SKU, with a stated 24-hour founder response time. Target customers are EU companies (100–1,000 employees) buying AI — compliance, IT, and security leads in fintech, professional services, legal, healthcare, and manufacturing — and EU SaaS/AI vendors (50–500 employees) responding to inbound AI-specific security questionnaires. Legitima is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
