Digital Privacy Risk Assurance Pilot Programs
We are actively seeking pilot partners for three breakthrough privacy-enabling infrastructure capabilities launching Q1 2026. Join us in shaping the future of privacy-first AI systems and digital transparency infrastructure.
OPN Lab Pilot Partner Application
Digital Privacy Risk Assurance Pilot Programs
Apply to pilot AI Signalling, DPO Data Notary, or Controller Registrar Gateway infrastructure. Our Q1 2026 launch represents a transformative moment in privacy-enabling technology.
Selected partners receive founder pricing, co-development rights, and early access to production-grade infrastructure. This is your opportunity to shape the next generation of digital privacy assurance systems whilst positioning your organisation at the forefront of privacy innovation.

Limited Availability: We're selecting a focused cohort of pilot partners who share our commitment to privacy-first infrastructure and collaborative development.
Three Pilot Programmes Available
AI Signalling Pilot
Privacy-enabling AI transparency with active-state signalling and ANCR-compliant notice infrastructure for AI systems.
DPO Data Notary Pilot
Blind data notary infrastructure enabling DPOs to verify transparency without identifying data subjects.
Controller Registrar Gateway Pilot
Cross-border registrar authority for multi-entity transparency operations and verified Controller identity infrastructure.
Each pilot programme offers unique capabilities designed to address specific challenges in modern privacy infrastructure. Our approach combines technical innovation with practical governance frameworks, ensuring that privacy-enabling systems can operate at scale whilst maintaining regulatory compliance.
AI Signalling Pilot Programme
Privacy-Enabling AI Transparency Infrastructure
The AI Signalling Pilot delivers active-state signalling and ANCR-compliant notice infrastructure purpose-built for AI systems. This breakthrough capability enables real-time transparency into AI processing activities whilst preserving privacy and maintaining operational efficiency.
Our infrastructure creates machine-readable Digital Privacy Signalling that AI agents can interpret and act upon, establishing a new paradigm for privacy-preserving AI governance. This represents a fundamental shift from reactive compliance to proactive, architecture-level privacy assurance.
1
Real-Time AI Processing Transparency Signals
Monitor and signal AI processing activities as they occur, providing unprecedented visibility into AI operations.
2
Active-State Consent and Notice Management
Dynamic consent frameworks that respond to changing processing contexts in real-time.
3
Privacy-Enabling AI Governance Infrastructure
Built-in privacy safeguards that operate at the infrastructure level, not the application layer.
4
Machine-Readable Digital Privacy Signalling for AI Agents
Enable AI systems to interpret and respect privacy preferences automatically through standardised protocols.

Ideal Partners: AI platform operators, LLM providers, enterprises deploying AI systems, AI governance specialists, and organisations seeking to establish privacy-first AI infrastructure.
DPO Data Notary Pilot Programme
Blind Data Notary Infrastructure for DPO Verification
The DPO Data Notary Pilot introduces blind data notary infrastructure that fundamentally transforms how Data Protection Officers verify transparency obligations. This innovative approach enables DPOs to perform their verification duties without identifying data subjects, resolving a longstanding tension between verification requirements and privacy preservation.
Our infrastructure integrates seamlessly with existing DPO governance frameworks whilst introducing privacy-enabling verification protocols. Through event log notarisation without identification, DPOs gain the assurance they require for compliance verification without compromising individual privacy. This represents a significant advancement in privacy-preserving accountability systems.
Privacy-Enabling Verification Protocols
Verify without identifying through cryptographic techniques that preserve privacy whilst ensuring accountability.
DPO Governance Framework Integration
Seamless integration with established DPO processes and compliance workflows.
Event Log Notarisation Without Identification
Cryptographically secure event logging that enables verification without exposing personal data.
Compliance Verification Infrastructure
Production-grade infrastructure for demonstrating compliance to regulators and stakeholders.

Ideal Partners: Organisations with active DPO programmes, Data Privacy Authorities, compliance consultancies, enterprise privacy teams, and legal technology providers focused on privacy assurance.
Controller Registrar Gateway Pilot Programme
Cross-Border Registrar Authority Infrastructure
The Controller Registrar Gateway Pilot establishes cross-border registrar authority for multi-entity transparency operations. This infrastructure enables verified Controller identity management across jurisdictions, solving critical challenges in global privacy operations.
Our gateway provides API-based registry operations at scale, supporting complex multi-national transparency coordination requirements. This represents essential infrastructure for organisations operating across regulatory boundaries.
Multi-Entity Controller Registry Management
Centralised management of Controller identities across multiple legal entities and jurisdictions with cryptographically verified credentials.
Cross-Jurisdiction Transparency Coordination
Orchestrate transparency obligations across different regulatory frameworks whilst maintaining consistent governance standards.
Registrar Authority for Verification Services
Authoritative registry services that provide trusted verification for transparency infrastructure participants.
API-Based Registry Operations at Scale
High-performance API infrastructure supporting enterprise-scale registry operations with sub-second response times.

Ideal Partners: Multi-national enterprises, platform operators, regulatory technology providers, cross-border service providers, and organisations with complex Controller relationship structures.
What Pilot Partners Receive
Pilot partners gain access to an exclusive package of benefits designed to accelerate privacy infrastructure adoption whilst providing significant strategic advantages. Our comprehensive support framework ensures partners can maximise the value of their participation.
Founder Pricing & Access
Discounted rates locked for the first year with guaranteed pricing protection on production infrastructure. Early adopters receive preferential pricing that reflects their commitment to privacy innovation, with contractual protections ensuring long-term value.
Co-Development Rights
Direct input on feature development, architecture decisions, and roadmap priorities through working group participation. Your feedback shapes the product, ensuring the infrastructure meets real-world requirements and addresses practical challenges.
Technical Partnership
