Overview

What is Prismos?

Prismos is a regulatory intelligence platform built for public affairs and policy teams that need to follow the legislative process itself rather than the press coverage around it. It is published by Prismos BV, a Belgian company registered at Bekaflaan 54, 3200 Aarschot, with a team presented as being based in Brussels.

The institutions it names as covered are the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the EU; the Belgian federal parliament and the Brussels, Flemish, Walloon and Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles parliaments; and the Dutch parliament. The workflow is described in four stages. Capture follows sittings live. Read transcribes and structures them within hours of the close. Calibrate tunes the system to the organisation's sectors, files and stakeholders. Deliver sends out material that can be traced back to the record.

The central product idea is the Prism: a configurable lens specific to each organisation, which decides what counts as relevant and ranks incoming mentions with a relevance score — the demonstration interface shows figures such as 94%, 88% and 76%. Multilingualism is presented as a design constraint rather than a feature: Dutch, French and English are handled together, and the same person, the same party and the same file are recognised across all three, which matters where one debate is held in two languages.

Output reaches the user through three channels: email, the web application, and AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot — connected through MCP. A REST API at restapi.prismos.ai exposes API keys described as being for machine clients, together with an MCP endpoint, although it is promoted nowhere on the marketing site. Every statement is tied to the speaker, the timestamp and the institutional source.

Prismos states that it builds its own models rather than relying on generic ones, arguing that parliamentary and legal language calls for a specific kind of reading. The founding team is named: Christophe Geudens (co-founder and CTO, PhD in knowledge representation from KU Leuven, multilingual NLP), Pepijn Mores (co-founder and CEO, formerly at Amazon and then Accenture on the EU institutions) and Guillaume Leurquin (founding engineer, formerly at Airbus). LinkedIn listed six employees on 2 September 2026. One published testimonial names Stéphane Bocqué, Communication Manager at FEBEG.

Audience

When to use Prismos / When not to

A quick filter to help you decide if Prismos is the right fit.

When to use Prismos

  • Corporate public affairs teams following the same file across regional, federal and European levels at once
  • Trade associations and federations that resell policy monitoring as a member benefit
  • Specialists in regulated sectors named by the publisher: energy and utilities, environment and emissions, infrastructure finance
  • Multilingual Benelux teams working in Dutch, French and English on Belgian and EU dossiers
  • Analysts who have to cite the primary record in a position paper or a board pack

When not to use Prismos

  • Buyers who need published pricing or a self-service sign-up: entry runs through a sales conversation and a negotiated Sales Order Form
  • Organisations whose priority sits outside the named coverage, which is limited to the EU institutions, five Belgian parliaments and the Dutch parliament
  • Teams unwilling to commit for a year: the contract runs for an initial one-year term with tacit annual renewal and 60 days' notice
  • Users who want a mobile app: none is published for iOS or Android
  • Anyone looking for general media monitoring: Prismos follows the institutional process itself, not the press around it
Get started

How to use Prismos

A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.

  1. Start with the free tailored report: complete the three-step form on the report landing page and choose a scope from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the European Union or Other
  2. Receive by email a report covering mentions of your organisation over the previous 30 days
  3. Book an intro: a 30-minute working session with the Prismos team
  4. During that session, the team configures a monitoring context around your sectors, files and stakeholders, then runs it against recent sittings
  5. Agree commercial terms, which are set out in a Sales Order Form rather than on a public price list
  6. Sign in to the web application through the sign-in page, which uses Clerk authentication
  7. Refine your Prism: the sectors, files and stakeholders you want followed
  8. Read the ranked mentions and the weekly briefing, in the application or by email
  9. Follow each claim back to its speaker, timestamp and institutional source before quoting it externally
  10. Optionally connect the corpus to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot through MCP, or call the REST API with a key; direct contact is hello@prismos.ai, and a Calendly link is published on the compliance page

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Cross-level coverage that is rare in this market: regional, federal and European institutions in a single view
  • Systematic traceability to the speaker, the timestamp and the institutional source
  • Genuine Dutch, French and English handling, which fits the Belgian institutional landscape
  • Delivery where the team already works: email, web application and AI assistants through MCP
  • REST API with keys for machine clients, plus an MCP endpoint
  • Explicit commitment that customer data is never used to train models, and data stored within the European Union
  • Compliance posture that is developed for a company of this size: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification claimed, DPA offered, Trust Center in place, human oversight and AI Act alignment stated

Cons

  • No public pricing at all: there is no pricing page and no amount anywhere on the site
  • No self-service and no trial of the software: entry runs through a sales conversation
  • Contractual commitment of at least one year, with automatic renewal and 60 days' notice to stop it
  • Named institutional coverage is narrow: the EU institutions, five Belgian parliaments and the Dutch parliament
  • The subprocessor list is not published: it is said to be available on request through the Trust Center
  • The ISO 27001 certificate itself is not public: neither the certificate number nor the certification body is published, and the document is shared on request only
  • No mobile application, and the API documentation is linked from no page of the site nor presented as a commercial offer
Pricing

Pricing & Plans

No pricing is published. Prismos operates no pricing page — the /pricing path returns a genuine 404 — and no amount, tier or currency appears anywhere on the site. The Master Services Agreement states that subscription fees are set in a negotiated Sales Order Form, invoiced monthly unless agreed otherwise and payable within 30 days of receipt of the invoice; the initial term is one year, renewed automatically for further one-year periods unless either party gives 60 days' notice. No permanent free plan and no free trial of the software are announced. Two things are offered free of charge and without commitment, but neither is a plan: a tailored report covering 30 days of mentions, and a 30-minute working session with the team. A prospective buyer should therefore expect to obtain a quotation through a sales conversation rather than from the website.

Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how Prismos handles your data.

GDPR overview

GDPR implementation is documented rather than merely asserted. The controller is named as PRISMOS, Bekaflaan 54, 3200 Aarschot, company number 1013.252.201, reachable at privacy@prismos.ai or by post to its data protection manager at the same address. The policy states the legal bases relied on — performance of the contract, legitimate interests and consent, depending on the processing — and lists the data subject rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, objection to direct marketing and portability. Requests are answered within one month, extendable to three for complex cases. The supervisory authority is named: the Belgian Data Protection Authority, Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels, +32 2 247 48 00. Transfers outside the EEA rely on standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with prior encryption. No Article 27 representative is designated, and none is required: the publisher is established in the EU.

Who owns the data?

The Master Services Agreement is explicit on ownership. The client retains all rights, title and interest in the Company Data, meaning the data collected or obtained by the vendor under the agreement. Prismos, for its part, keeps ownership of its Vendor Technology and its improvements, and grants the client a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence limited to the term. The privacy policy splits the roles accordingly: for client employee data and for documents supplied by the client, the client is the controller and Prismos the processor; for everything else — website visitors, prospects, public figures in the record — Prismos is controller in its own right.

Reuse rights

Because the Company Data belongs to the client, the client may reuse the output it receives without asking Prismos for permission, subject to its licence to the platform itself remaining in force. The underlying material is public by nature: committee minutes, plenary debates, written questions, bills and consultations, supplemented by other publicly available sources such as broadcast media, party and organisation websites and the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises. In the other direction, Prismos states that customer data is never used to train its own models or third-party models, and that model providers process content only to return a result, under contractual data-protection terms. AI-generated content is labelled and linked back to its source, and the publisher frames the tool as surfacing and summarising while the client team decides what to do with it.

Data retention & training

Retention summary
Retention periods are set out by category of person. Client data is kept for three months after the agreement ends, unless a legal obligation requires longer. Data on suppliers and subcontractors is kept for one year after the end of the service. Visitors and prospects are kept for up to one year after the last contact; direct marketing data is kept until consent is withdrawn, and cookies follow their own lifetimes by type. Job applications are deleted within four weeks of the end of the recruitment process, or kept for one year with the candidate's consent, after which a renewal is requested. For public figures and event participants, the policy says only that data is kept as long as necessary, without a stated duration — the one category with no figure attached.

Hosting summary

Prismos states that all data is stored within the European Union, and its product FAQ repeats that customer data is held in EU data centres. Beyond that, the hosting picture is thin: no specific country is named, and no hosting provider is identified anywhere on the site. Encryption is claimed on both sides, AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. The privacy policy contemplates transfers outside the European Economic Area and states that these rely on standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with the data encrypted beforehand. The jurisdiction is Belgian: the publisher is Prismos BV, established in Aarschot, the master agreement is governed by Belgian law, and the supervisory authority named in the privacy policy is the Belgian Data Protection Authority. Buyers with a strict data residency requirement will need to ask directly which countries and which providers are involved, because the published commitment stops at the level of the Union.

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Prismos.

  • The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is a publisher's claim. It is stated consistently across five of its own pages, with the standard version and an annual audit, but no certificate number and no certification body is published, and the Vanta Trust Center could not be read, so nothing confirms it independently.
  • Ranked summaries are comfortable, and comfort erodes the habit of reading the source. Prismos labels AI-generated content and links it to the record precisely so it can be checked, but that safeguard only works if someone opens the transcript before a position paper quotes it.
  • The subprocessor list is described as kept up to date, yet it is not published: it is available on request through the Trust Center only, which makes an independent supply-chain review impossible before signing.
  • There is a scope tension worth raising in a sales call: the free-report form offers Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the European Union and Other, while no French institution is named anywhere on the site.
  • The organisation and file names appearing in the interface screenshots, such as Northwind Energy, are a demonstration dataset and not customers. They should not be read as references.
  • The contract PDF is a template still carrying placeholder fields, and only its Vendor block describes Prismos; it is linked from no page and absent from the sitemap. The API documentation is likewise unlinked and not presented as a commercial offer.
  • Two places coexist in the record: the registered office is in Aarschot while the communication says the product is built in Brussels. The incorporation date reported here comes from the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, not from the site itself.
Setup

Setup & Integrations

Technical difficulty

Very low on the standard path. There is nothing to install: Prismos is a web application reached through a sign-in page, and the initial Prism — the sectors, files and stakeholders to follow — is configured by the Prismos team during the 30-minute session rather than by the customer. Email delivery requires no technical setup at all. Two optional integrations raise the bar: connecting the corpus to an AI assistant through MCP, or calling the REST API with a key. The real friction is commercial rather than technical, since no self-service route in exists.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does Prismos monitor?
Sittings, debates and publications from the European institutions — Parliament, Commission and Council — from the Belgian parliaments (federal, Brussels, Flemish, Walloon and Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles) and from the Dutch parliament.
How is it different from setting up Google Alerts?
The publisher's own answer is that Google Alerts flags a keyword somewhere on the web, whereas Prismos follows the parliamentary work itself and draws out what it means for your file.
Which languages does it handle?
Dutch, French and English. The same person, party and file are recognised across the three, and the website itself is published in those same three languages.
Is my data used to train models?
No. Prismos states that customer data is never used to train its own models or third-party models, and that model providers process content only to return a result to you, under contractual data-protection terms.
Where is the data hosted?
Within the European Union. The compliance page states that all data is stored within the EU and the product FAQ refers to EU data centres. No specific country and no hosting provider is named.
Is a data processing agreement available?
Yes. Prismos offers a GDPR-compliant DPA covering scope, subprocessors, security measures and data subject rights.
Is Prismos ISO 27001 certified?
The company states that it is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 with an annual audit, and says the certificate is shared on request through its Trust Center. No certificate number and no certification body is published, so the claim could not be verified independently.
How much does it cost?
No price is published. Fees are agreed individually in a Sales Order Form after an introductory conversation, with an initial one-year term and monthly invoicing.
Is there an API?
Yes. A REST API is exposed at restapi.prismos.ai, with API keys described as being for machine clients and an MCP endpoint. It is not linked from the marketing site.
Can I try it before buying?
There is no self-service trial of the software. Prismos offers a free tailored report covering 30 days of mentions of your organisation, and a free 30-minute working session with its team.
Conclusion

Should you pick Prismos?

Prismos is a niche tool, and deliberately so. It does one thing: it follows the institutional process across the Belgian and European landscape, and turns it into something a public affairs team can act on the same week. Where it is strong, it is strong for reasons that are hard to copy — coverage spanning regional, federal and European levels at once, systematic traceability back to the speaker and the timestamp, real Dutch, French and English handling, and delivery through MCP into the assistant the team already has open.

The reservations are just as clear. Nothing on the commercial side is public: no price, no tier, no trial of the software, and a contract that starts at one year with automatic renewal. The named coverage is narrow — the EU institutions, five Belgian parliaments and the Dutch parliament — an excellent fit for a Brussels-and-The-Hague remit, a doubtful one outside it. Buyers should also separate what is claimed from what is proven: the company states that it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification with an annual audit, but no certificate number or certification body is published and the Trust Center could not be read, so the claim rests on the publisher's word.

The compliance posture is nonetheless unusually developed for a company of this size: EU-only storage, an unconditional no-training commitment, an available DPA, documented retention periods and a named Belgian supervisory authority. The company is young — Prismos BV was incorporated on 6 September 2024 and listed six employees on LinkedIn. For a federation or a corporate public affairs team whose files sit in Brussels and The Hague, it is a serious candidate; for anyone else, the fit is worth checking before the sales conversation starts.
