Designed for programme owners who need calm control — across markets, categories, and change.

Prepare before mandates apply

02

Evidence and auditability produced automatically

03

Governance roles reduce compliance overhead

The Compliance Reality

Digital Product Passport programmes introduce permanence. Product information must remain structured, current, and inspectable over time — and the burden of proof sits with the organisation placing products on the EU market.

Requirements evolve category by category

Evidence is expected, not optional

Multiple teams contribute to the same passport record

The hard part is continuity: keeping passports correct over time

Pre-Mandate Phase

Baseline mode.

Passport structures are available, fields are visible, and teams can align data sources, supplier inputs, and internal ownership without creating operational disruption.

What TieBack Enables

Build your foundation securely before regulatory deadlines force rushed implementations.

  • Baseline structures applied consistently at SKU level
  • Clear separation between recommended vs required fields
  • Version history from day one
  • Market-aware presentation

Governance & Evidence

Readiness becomes measurable when evidence is produced automatically.

  • Versioned passports (what changed, when, by whom)
  • Attributable actions (user/role traceability)
  • Publication timestamps and historical states
  • Exportable snapshots for internal sign-off

Auditor Experience

Compliance teams should not assemble proof packs. They should grant access. All access is Read-only, Scoped, and Logged.

  • Inspect passports and version history
  • Review readiness state and completeness
  • Validate safety notices and publication windows
  • Verify lifecycle events relevant to compliance
Security and Governance

Staying aligned as requirements evolve.

Stable Foundation

What stays stable:

  • The identity model
  • The governance model
  • The evidence model

Adapting to Mandates

Delegated acts mature over time. TieBack is designed so your operating model stays stable while requirements change. What adapts is simply the field enforcement rules per category and market.
