CONTECHNET

What CONTECHNET does

CONTECHNET Deutschland GmbH is a German software company headquartered in Pattensen, founded in 2007, that develops Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) software for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), IT emergency planning, and data protection documentation. The product suite consists of INDITOR ISO and INDITOR BSI (ISMS implementations aligned to ISO/IEC 27001 and BSI IT-Grundschutz 200-standards respectively), INDART Professional (IT emergency planning), INPRIVE (EU-DSGVO/GDPR documentation), plus add-ons INSCAN (network-based asset scanning) and INFORWEB (web-based data maintenance). Solutions are offered as CONTECHNET Software Suite (OnPrem) and CONTECHNET Suite+ (SaaS, DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001 aligned), with module-by-module purchasing available.

The business model combines subscription/recurring software licensing (OnPrem and SaaS) with professional services revenue from remote coaching and consulting engagements, including monthly ISMS coaching sessions that customers such as Midland IT GmbH used to achieve ISO 27001 certification. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales in the DACH region, supplemented by free 30-day trials, demo bookings, and educational webinars; vertical focus spans manufacturing/industry, automotive (TISAX), government/public administration (BSI), financial services (DORA/BAIT), healthcare (B3S), and energy/utilities (KRITIS/NIS2). Named references include Hannover 96, Konica Minolta, Creditreform, ACO, Wagner, Stadtwerke Heidelberg, and Helgoland. In June 2025 CONTECHNET was acquired by the i-doit group (Main-backed), with its modules now positioned as add-ons within the i-doit CMDB/ITSM platform and distributed through the group's partner network across Europe.
