Knowledge Management for Regulatory and Safety.

We provide services and develop solutions to address the complexity of regulatory and safety challenges in sectors such as energy, large-scale events, and customs compliance.

Knowledge Management for Regulatory and Safety Domains.

The PIRI framework is valuable because it provides a structured way to manage regulatory knowledge across very different domains. In the energy sector, it helps anticipate incidents such as grid failures, identify preventive measures, and ensure compliance with safety standards. In customs and taxation, PIRI supports the discovery of risks like fraud or evasion and enables consistent application of regulatory measures across borders. For large-scale public events, the framework assists in mapping potential incidents—from crowd management to emergency response—and aligning them with appropriate preventive and reactive measures.

By offering a domain-independent structure, PIRI allows knowledge from one sector to be transferred to another. This makes regulation more adaptive, interoperable, and resilient, ensuring that lessons learned in one field can strengthen preparedness and decision-making in others.

Incidents

Incidents disrupt the normal functioning of systems and can cause inefficiency, downtime, or serious failure. To reduce these risks, it is important to manage knowledge about potential incidents in a proactive way. Understanding what could happen and how it might affect the system enables better preparation and prevention.

A key step is to classify incidents by type, cause, or severity. This makes patterns visible and allows knowledge to be reused across domains. By transferring proven components and countermeasures to new tasks, organizations can react faster, improve resilience, and ensure that lessons learned are not lost.

Measures

Measures are essential for maintaining the stability of systems, as they help avoid incidents and provide effective responses when problems occur. Knowing which measures exist, how they work, and in which situations they should be applied is critical for ensuring preparedness and resilience. Without this knowledge, systems remain vulnerable to preventable risks.

It is equally important to identify and adopt measures that are not yet part of the system. Discovering unknown or novel measures, and then adapting and implementing them, strengthens the overall capacity to act. By transferring and integrating proven measures from other domains, organizations can close gaps, improve response strategies, and continuously increase the robustness of their systems.

Context

Context plays a decisive role in regulatory knowledge, since it determines which incidents are likely to occur and which measures are appropriate to apply. Understanding and managing contextual configurations such as technical settings, organizational structures, or environmental conditions is essential for explaining why problems arise and why certain responses are effective. Without context, incident and measure knowledge remains incomplete.

To make context usable, it is important to provide a structured way of representing it. A resource-oriented approach allows contextual factors to be organized, compared, and reused across domains. This not only improves the precision of incident analysis and measure selection but also supports the transfer of regulatory knowledge to new situations, where context must be carefully aligned with risks and responses.
