What JURANDO does

JURANDO GmbH is a Lüdenscheid, Germany-based data protection services and SaaS company founded in 2017 by lawyers and TÜV-certified data protection officers who spun out of the established law firm Bergfeld & Partner Rechtsanwälte. The company operates a single integrated offering: it serves as an external Datenschutzbeauftragter (DPO) for client companies and delivers that mandate through a cloud-based Datenschutz-Management-Software accessed via browser with no installation required. The software operationalizes GDPR/DSGVO compliance via a traffic-light guided questionnaire that captures the Verarbeitungsverzeichnis (Art. 30 record), technical and organizational measures (TOM), Auftragsverarbeitung, and automatically compiles these into a continuously updated PDF Data Protection Management Handbook. Bundled into the same subscription are semi-annual automated e-learning for up to 150 employees with participation certificates, a DSGVO template library, a ticket-based advisory channel (two questions/month included), a downloadable DSGVO seal/certificate, and a regulatory news service.

The business model is productized and recurring: a flat €95/month (net) subscription with a 1-year minimum term and a 3-month renewal notice, no setup fee, and a 14-day free trial that auto-converts. Incremental revenue comes from hourly bespoke consulting and a €10 net per month usage uplift for every additional 50 e-learning participants above 150. Go-to-market is product-led growth: customers self-register on app.jurando.de, no sales force is deployed, and acquisition is driven by an SEO-oriented DSGVO-Ratgeber content hub on jurando.de. The target customer is the German SMB (typically 10+ employees with automated personal data processing) required under §38 BDSG to appoint a DPO; sales are restricted to B2B per §13 BGB, and the company serves clients across all industries nationwide. Hosting is subcontracted to 1&1 Internet SE / 1&1 IONOS SE under a formal Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag with servers located in Germany. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, 1–10 employees, and is led by Managing Director Dr. Dennis Werner (Fachanwalt für IT-Recht, TÜV-certified DPO) and Managing Director Carsten A. Monz.

Core offering

Jurando GmbH provides external data protection officer (Datenschutzbeauftragter) services bundled with a cloud-based GDPR/DSGVO management software for German companies. The subscription combines qualified lawyer and TÜV-certified DPO advisory with a browser-based SaaS platform that automates documentation, employee e-learning, template generation, and a real-time data protection handbook. Additional individual consulting and add-on e-learning participants are offered as separate paid services.

Product overview

JURANDO's product portfolio is a single, unified cloud-based SaaS offering centred on the Datenschutz-Management-Software, which is always bundled with the Externer Datenschutzbeauftragter service. The core software provides a guided, no-expertise-required workflow for DSGVO compliance, encompassing a Record of Processing Activities (Verarbeitungsverzeichnis), TOM documentation (Technische und organisatorische Maßnahmen), commissioned processing management (Auftragsverarbeitung), and a self-generated Data Protection Management Handbook (Datenschutz-Management-Handbuch). All of these feed into a single PDF handbook. The software is complemented by an E-Learning platform for semi-annual employee training, a library of DSGVO template documents (Mustertexte), a ticket-based advisory service, and downloadable certificates/seals for marketing. All components are accessed through a single browser-based interface with no installation required.

Broad incumbents

• EQS Group: European listed compliance, whistleblower, and investor relations SaaS provider. Overlaps with Jurando on compliance and data protection workflows in the DACH mid-market segment.
• TrustArc: Mature privacy compliance SaaS vendor with DPO-adjacent tooling (consent, assessment, certifications). Competes for the same privacy workflow budgets as Jurando at larger customer scales.
• OneTrust: Global enterprise privacy management platform covering consent, DSAR, RoPA, and DPO workflows. Competes with Jurando at the upper end of the SMB / mid-market and offers a much broader feature set.
• Bird & Bird (DPO-as-a-Service practice): Major international law firm with a dedicated external DPO service practice. Represents the traditional legal-services competitor that Jurando's lawyer-founded model competes against on credibility and scale.

Regional players

• Securys: UK-based data protection and cyber-security consultancy offering outsourced DPO services. Comparable in service model to Jurando but operating in a different geography (UK vs Germany).
