From Strategy to Execution: Holistic Consulting

In today’s digital landscape, managing data, ensuring compliance, and driving innovation are not separate challenges—they are deeply interconnected. Simply deploying new technology is not enough. Success requires a holistic strategy that aligns your business goals with your technical capabilities and regulatory obligations.

We bridge the gap between business and IT, providing end-to-end support to help you navigate complexity and achieve true digital sovereignty. Our approach is unique: we combine deep strategic expertise with a powerful technological foundation - our Governance & Compliance Integration Platform.

Our consulting services are designed to be a gateway to our platform, and vice versa. Whether you start with a strategic challenge or a technical need, we provide a seamless path to a comprehensive solution.

Data Governance & Compliance Management

We cover you from high-level strategic planning to hands-on technical implementation. We deliver these services through a variety of formats tailored to your needs, including strategic workshops, hands-on training sessions, and ongoing advisory retainers. Our key areas of expertise encompass:

Data Strategy & Maturity Assessment

Before you can govern your data, you need a clear strategy. We help you understand your current capabilities and define a clear path forward. Through structured workshops and assessments, we analyze your data landscape, evaluate your organization’s data maturity, and work with you to develop a tangible roadmap. This creates the strategic foundation for all subsequent governance and compliance initiatives.

Strategic Governance Consulting

Effective governance is a continuous strategic process, not a one-time project. We help you build a sustainable governance framework from the ground up. We support you with:

  • Framework Development: Through collaborative workshops with your stakeholders, we define and document a governance framework that fits your organization’s culture, industry, and strategic goals
  • Process & Role Definition: We help you establish clear processes and define key roles, such as Data Stewards or a Governance Board, ensuring that responsibilities are clearly assigned
  • Risk & Value Analysis: We assist in identifying key risks and opportunities within your data landscape to prioritize governance efforts where they deliver the most value and save you trouble down the road

Compliance Implementation Support

Implementing compliance policies in complex IT landscapes is a major challenge. We translate regulatory requirements into specific technical and organizational measures, using our platform as a central decision-support system. We do not replace human responsibility; we empower it by:

  • Making Complexity Manageable: Our platform helps to document and visualize complex systems, making them understandable for auditors and stakeholders
  • Providing Decision Support: The Policy Engine analyzes your systems and provides actionable recommendations, highlighting potential risks and suggesting mitigation strategies
  • Generating Mandatory Documentation: We configure the platform to generate required compliance documentation (e.g. records of processing activities for GDPR) based on the models and data within the system, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistency.

Data Quality Management

High-quality data is the foundation of trustworthy analytics, reliable operations, and successful AI applications. Our governance framework can establish and enforce data quality standards across your organization. We help you:

  • Define Quality Rules: We use the Model Atlas to formally define data quality rules, such as value ranges, formats, and completeness checks.
  • Implement Monitoring: We configure the platform to continuously monitor data streams against these rules, providing dashboards and alerts for data quality issues.
  • Establish Remediation Processes: We work with your teams to design and implement workflows for identifying, assigning, and resolving data quality problems, creating a sustainable cycle of improvement.

Change Management & Platform Adoption

A successful governance program depends on people. Introducing new tools and processes requires careful planning and communication. We support you in ensuring the successful adoption of the new governance framework within your organization through:

  • Targeted Training & Workshops: We provide hands-on training for different user groups, from data stewards to management, ensuring everyone understands their role and how to use the platform effectively.
  • Communication Strategy: We help you develop a clear communication plan to explain the “why” behind the changes and foster buy-in across all departments.
  • Adoption Monitoring: We assist in setting up metrics to track the adoption and effectiveness of the new processes, enabling continuous improvement.

Data Protection by Design

Efficient data protection has to be an integral part of a system architecture, not an afterthought. Our consulting services in this area leverage our platform’s Policy & Governance Engine to implement “Data Protection by Design”. We support your data protection officers by providing tools to analyze data models and instances for privacy-related risks, run checks against regulations like GDPR, and create transparent, verifiable processes for human review and approval. We can also can provide certified personell as external data protection officers for your organization.

Governed Smart City & IoT Ecosystems

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a core element of any Smart City. Connecting devices is only the beginning. The real challenge lies in managing data streams, ensuring security, and complying with regulations. Our consulting services focus on building governed IoT ecosystems, leveraging our Governance Platform to ensure that every device and data point complies with your defined policies.
