Built for How Your Industry Actually Works
Corporate Governance & Board Reporting
The Rwanda Corporate Governance Code requires organisations to demonstrate governance outcomes across board composition, performance monitoring, accountability, and stakeholder management.
- Dimeri maps every risk in your register to the relevant governance principle, tracks the status of each governance outcome, and generates disclosure reports aligned to the apply-and-explain regime.
- Board members and governance committee chairs can see at a glance which governance principles are fully addressed, which have gaps, and what remediation actions are underway.
Data Protection Law 2021 Compliance
Law N°058/2021 compliance requires maintaining records of all processing activities, appointing Data Protection Officers, conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments for high-risk processing, implementing breach notification procedures, establishing lawful basis for every category of personal data processed, and managing cross-border data transfers.
- Dimeri creates a structured data protection compliance register that links every processing activity to its lawful basis, tracks consent records and data subject requests, manages DPO responsibilities and DPIA documentation, and maintains a complete audit trail.
- When the NCSA conducts a compliance assessment, everything is traceable in a single system rather than scattered across departmental spreadsheets.
BNR Risk-Based Supervision Compliance
The National Bank of Rwanda requires banks and financial institutions to maintain comprehensive enterprise risk management frameworks with board-approved risk appetite statements, independent risk management functions, and regular risk reports covering credit, market, operational, and liquidity risk categories.
- BNR's Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) assesses both quantitative risk metrics and the quality of risk governance and management practices.
- Dimeri provides a structured risk register that maps directly to BNR risk categories, tracks risk appetite utilisation in real time, generates reports in the format expected by BNR supervisory teams, and maintains a complete evidence trail of risk governance decisions for on-site inspection readiness.
Capital Market Authority Governance
The CMA Capital Market Governance Code 2024 requires listed companies and capital market participants to apply governance principles on an apply-and-explain basis.
- This includes board composition requirements, committee effectiveness, risk oversight, and disclosure obligations.
- Dimeri tracks every CMA governance obligation, maps governance activities to specific code requirements, monitors compliance status across board composition, committee effectiveness, and disclosure obligations, and generates the governance reports required for CMA regulatory filings and RSE listing compliance.

Control & Incident Tracking
Three Lines of Defence — Tracked and Tested
Every risk in your register links to preventive, detective, and corrective controls. Effectiveness percentages update as evidence is logged. Full audit trail for regulators.
Multi-Regulator Obligation Mapping
Every applicable Rwandan regulation — Corporate Governance Code principles, Data Protection Law 2021 requirements, BNR prudential guidelines, and CMA governance obligations — is mapped to the specific risks and controls in your register. When a new BNR circular, CMA directive, or NCSA guidance note is published, Dimeri identifies which existing risks are affected and flags any gaps in your control coverage. Obligation owners receive automated reminders before compliance deadlines, and the mapping is maintained as a living document that reflects the current regulatory state across all Rwandan regulators simultaneously.
Regulatory Compliance Scorecard
A single-screen traffic-light scorecard shows your compliance status against every governance principle, data protection requirement, and BNR obligation. Each item is rated green, amber, or red based on current evidence and control effectiveness, with trend arrows showing whether compliance is improving or deteriorating. The scorecard updates automatically as assurance activities are completed and evidence is uploaded, giving the board and regulators a real-time view of the organisation's compliance posture across all Rwandan regulatory frameworks.
Remediation Workflow & Board Reporting
When a governance gap, regulatory breach, or audit finding is identified, Dimeri creates a structured remediation workflow with assigned owners, due dates, and evidence requirements. Progress is tracked through to closure with a full audit trail. Board and committee reports are generated automatically from current data — showing risk profile changes, remediation progress, emerging risks, and multi-regulator compliance status in the format expected by Rwandan governing bodies and regulatory supervisors.

Why Spreadsheets Fail in This Industry
Spreadsheets cannot handle the complexity, volume, and real-time demands of modern industrial risk management. Here is where they consistently break down — and what Dimeri does instead.
