Is Topograph GDPR compliant?

Yes. Topograph only processes available data from official company registers. The final beneficiaries of Topograph's data are always regulated financial entities, who act as Data Controllers in the context of GDPR and are legally required to process the personal data of individuals related to the companies they have a business relationship with. Our hosting infrastructure is located in the EU.

Where does Topograph get its data from?

Topograph connects directly to official government business registers across Europe, such as the French RNE, the German Handelsregister, Companies House in the UK, and equivalents in 100 countries. This means you get primary-source company data, not aggregated information from third-party databases.

How often is company data updated?

Topograph provides real-time access to official business registers. When you query a company, we retrieve the latest available data directly from the source. This ensures you always work with the most current registration details, filing statuses, and corporate structures — not stale snapshots.

What is KYB and how is it different from KYC?

KYB (Know Your Business) is the process of verifying a company's identity, legal status, ownership structure, representation and registration details. KYC (Know Your Customer) focuses on verifying individuals. In practice, onboarding a business client requires verifying the company itself, and verifying its directors and beneficial owners. Topograph focuses on KYB: providing the official data you need to verify business entities. We do not handle ID documents or tax information about individuals.

What data does Topograph return for each company?

Depending on the country and register, Topograph can return: company name and legal form, registration number and status, registered address, incorporation date, share capital, director and officer names, beneficial ownership information, industry codes (NACE), extracts from the trade register and official filing documents. Data availability varies by jurisdiction — see the coverage map and contact us for details on specific countries.

Which European countries does Topograph cover?

Topograph covers most European countries, including all major markets such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and the Nordics, as well as the UK, Switzerland, and others. We are continually expanding coverage and can prioritize countries based on client demand. Visit our country coverage page or contact us for details.

How do I integrate Topograph's KYB API?

Topograph offers a REST API with powerful endpoints for company search, company profile retrieval, document access, ownership graph analysis and company monitoring. Integration is straightforward and typically takes a few days. We provide API documentation, sandbox environments, and dedicated engineering support.

Can I use Topograph alongside my existing compliance software?

Absolutely. Topograph is designed to plug into your existing compliance stack. Whether you use a proprietary onboarding platform, a third-party KYB/KYC tool, or a case management system, our API integrates seamlessly. Several of our clients are KYB software vendors who embed Topograph data directly into their own products. Contact us if you would like to integrate Topograph into your AML platform.

How do I verify a company in Europe?

To verify a European company, you need to confirm its legal existence, registration status, ownership structure, and key officers using official business register data and documents. Each European country maintains its own register (e.g., Kamer van Koophandel in the Netherlands, Registro Mercantil in Spain). Topograph gives you a single API to query all of them, so you don't have to navigate dozens of registers with different languages, formats, and access rules.

What is a European business register?

A business register is an official government database where companies are legally required to file their incorporation documents, annual accounts, ownership details, and officer appointments. Virtually every state maintains one, though it is not always available online. These registers are the authoritative source for verifying that a company exists and is in good standing. Topograph aggregates access to these registers through one unified API.
