Account & Organisation Settings

Manage your profile, organisation details, risk profile, and notification preferences.

The Settings page is your central hub for managing your account, your organisation, and how ObligoBoard behaves for you and your team.

The Settings hub — one place for your account, organisation, team and billing.

Settings hub overview

Settings is organised into tabs covering your account, organisation, team, notifications, billing, AI Act, and legal documents:

Which tabs you see depends on your role. Account, Organisation, and Notifications are available to everyone; Team, Billing, and AI Act are admin-only; Legal is owner-only. If a tab is missing, it is hidden because of your role, not because it is broken.

Account settings

Name and email

Update your display name and email address. If you change your email, a new verification email is sent to the updated address. Your previous email remains active until you confirm the new one.

Password

Change your password from the Account tab. You must enter your current password before setting a new one.

Locale and language

Set your preferred locale and language. This affects date formatting, number formatting, and the language of the ObligoBoard interface where translations are available.

Email verification

Your email verification status is shown on the Account tab. If your email is not verified, a banner prompts you to check your inbox. You can resend the verification email from this section.

Some features (such as inviting team members) require a verified email address. Verify your email to unlock full functionality.

Organisation profile

The Organisation tab holds your organisation profile — organisation name, country, controller identity (registered name, address, contact email, registration number), DPO details, and the risk-profile fields that drive policy generation. It is the single source of truth for the Privacy Policy Generator and Cookie Policy Generator: both render straight from your profile, so an incomplete or stale profile produces a wrong or blocked policy.

For the field-by-field guide, the country-to-supervisory-authority mapping and mismatch acknowledgement, the missing-fields gate, and the out-of-date banner after an edit, see Organisation profile.

The Organisation tab also hosts two obligation-management actions, covered below: Re-seed obligations and Retake Assessment.

Re-seed functionality

If your obligation set has become inconsistent (e.g. after significant profile changes or during early setup), you can re-seed your obligations from the Organisation tab.

What re-seeding does

Re-seeding regenerates all obligations for your active frameworks based on your current profile. Existing obligation statuses and evidence are preserved where the obligation still exists in the new set.

When to use it

  • After retaking the assessment with significantly different answers
  • If you notice missing obligations that should exist for your frameworks
  • When instructed by ObligoBoard support

The CONFIRM / RE-SEED flow

Click Re-seed obligations

On the Organisation tab, click the Re-seed obligations button.

Type CONFIRM

A confirmation dialog appears. Type CONFIRM in the text field to proceed. This safeguard prevents accidental re-seeding.

Click RE-SEED

Click the RE-SEED button to start the process. ObligoBoard regenerates your obligations and recalculates your programme completeness score.

Re-seeding is a significant action. While it preserves existing statuses, it may add new obligations or remove ones that no longer apply to your profile. Use it only when necessary.

Retake Assessment

You can retake the full 8-step risk assessment from the Organisation tab by clicking Retake Assessment. This launches the same wizard you completed during onboarding, pre-filled with your current answers. See Risk Assessment & Scoring for details on what changes when you retake it.
