LITC

What LITC does

LITC (legal entity: Jasmin Lieffering LITC, trading as "LITC" and "Lieffering IT Consulting") is a Germany-based sole proprietorship operating a data protection and GDPR (DSGVO) consulting practice from Drakenburg, Niedersachsen. The firm is run by founder Jasmin Lieffering and delivers three core service lines: professional Datenschutzberatung (data protection consulting) offered as either a long-term retainer or project-based engagement; Datenschutz-Softwareentwicklung (Privacy by Design consulting for software developers building GDPR-compliant applications); and the externally mandated role of Externe Datenschutzbeauftragte (External Data Protection Officer) under GDPR Article 37.

Beyond billable consulting, LITC operates three productized assets: the Trusted Business Circle membership community, the DIY-Datenschutz online shop (hosted at litc.tentary.com) for self-service data protection products, and the Trusted Business Newsletter, a content/newsletter channel that also serves as a top-of-funnel marketing asset. The underlying technology stack is conventional: the website is built/maintained by Ranketing GmbH, consent and privacy policy delivery are handled by Comply tools from Hendrik Paulo Gaffo & Alexander Riegert GbR, and newsletter delivery runs through Sendinblue under an Article 28 DSGVO processor arrangement. There is no proprietary software platform, API, or AI/ML component.

The commercial model is sales-led and time-based: quote-based consulting engagements priced against individual scope, supplemented by one-time DIY product sales through the online shop. The stated customer base is German digital/SaaS companies and software developers requiring DSGVO compliance; no enterprise logos, segment mix, pricing, or revenue figures are disclosed. Marketing is driven by a German-language blog, the newsletter, and organic social profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, all top-of-funnel.

Broad incumbents

• OneTrust: Global privacy, security, and governance platform covering consent, DSAR/RoPA, vendor risk, and AI governance for large enterprises. Represents the platform tier that often displaces independent DSGVO consultancies for multi-national clients.
• BRANDI Rechtsanwälte: Full-service German law firm with a substantial, widely recognized Datenschutz practice serving Mittelstand enterprises. Overlaps with LITC on DSGVO advisory and external DPO work but with broader legal capabilities and deeper regional coverage.

Emerging players

• Datenschutz cert GmbH: German data protection consultancy and certification body offering DPO services, audits, and training. Overlaps with LITC's external DPO and consulting offerings but adds the certification and audit angle that LITC does not emphasize.
• HeyData: German SaaS platform offering DSGVO compliance modules (AVV, TOMs, RoPA) targeted at SMBs. Competes with the DIY-Datenschutz shop and Trusted Business Circle membership as a more productized, multi-user alternative for the same Datenschutz documentation workload.
• Usercentrics: German-headquartered Consent Management Platform (CMP) for websites, apps, and marketing tooling used by SMBs and enterprises to operationalize GDPR/ePrivacy consent. Competes indirectly with LITC's DIY-Datenschutz and Comply Consent Manager integrations by offering self-service tooling for the same compliance use cases.

Direct peers

• e-recht24 GmbH & Co. KG: German legal-tech platform providing GDPR Datenschutzerklärung generators and DPO/legal advisory for SMBs and digital businesses. Comparable to LITC in targeting the same German SMB+web segment with both self-service tooling and consulting.
• WINHELLER Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH: Frankfurt-based law firm with a strong German data protection (Datenschutz) and IT-law practice, offering external DPO services and DSGVO consulting to mid-market companies. Directly comparable to LITC in serving German SMBs with a mix of legal advisory and compliance program work.
• Schürmann Rosenthal Dreyer Rechtsanwälte: Boutique German law firm specialized in IT law and data protection, focused exclusively on Datenschutz and DSGVO mandates for digital businesses. Closely mirrors LITC's positioning as a specialist DSGVO advisor for SaaS and digital-process clients.
