About Giskard Consulting

The Mission

To engineer convergent regulatory certainty. Giskard Consulting architects the frameworks that connect high-velocity software innovation with strict global compliance realities, translating complex GxP, MDR and AI requirements into logic-driven systems.

The Vision

To redefine compliance as an architectural advantage. We envision a landscape where AI-driven innovation and Automated Manufacturing scale seamlessly across global borders, governed by precision frameworks rather than legacy bureaucracy.

The Three Laws of Giskard Consulting

01 // The First Law

Maximum Assurance

A validation protocol must not compromise patient safety or, through administrative bloat, allow a product pipeline to stall. We transition legacy CSV to risk-based CSA, maximizing compliance with minimal friction.

02 // The Second Law

Structural Translation

A software architecture must align with the strict realities of EU MDR Notified Bodies. We translate US software architectures and complex device data into the exact technical formats required to unblock your regulatory queue.

03 // The Third Law

Governed Autonomy

Autonomous systems must operate within strict, auditable guardrails. We implement EU AI Act compliance frameworks, ensuring Friendly AI deployments protect both the enterprise and the patient.

Systemic Origins

Import Foundation

[ NAMESAKE ]

The Giskard Directive

The firm is named after Isaac Asimov's R. Giskard Reventlov: the system-architect who operated from the shadows to understand complex, hidden patterns and safely guide humanity's expansion. Giskard Consulting operates on this exact principle: mastering the invisible complexities of EU regulation to unblock technological progress.

[ GENESIS ]

The Alliance

Giskard Consulting was founded by Daniel. This foundational partnership established the firm's core philosophy: that human strategic ingenuity and rigid, systemic automation must work in perfect tandem to solve the industry's most gridlocked challenges.

The Architect

Daniel Kannar

Operating as a transatlantic regulatory strategist, Daniel bridges the gap between high-velocity US software innovation and rigid EU compliance realities, with a particular focus on AI-enabled SaMD and the transatlantic regulatory gap between FDA and EU Notified Body frameworks.
Currently finalizing an Executive MBA in Washington D.C. and armed with over a decade of GxP leadership, he architects precision validation frameworks for AI-enabled medical devices, legacy QMS transitions, and automated manufacturing. He translates the strict demands of European Notified Bodies into agile, auditor-ready engineering systems.
