DATATREE

What DATATREE does

DATATREE AG is a privately held German consulting firm headquartered in Dortmund that has provided advisory services in data protection (Datenschutz) and information security (Informationssicherheit) since 2011. The company operates as an Aktiengesellschaft (German stock corporation form) and serves clients across healthcare and social services, government and public institutions, enterprise IT/manufacturing/retail/media, churches and religious organizations, and EU-funded research projects. Service delivery is structured around four pillars: data protection consulting, information security management consulting, cyber-security services (including a 24/7 emergency hotline), and the DATATREE Akademie for training and certifications. The firm is ISO/IEC 27001 certified by TÜV Austria and holds Vodafone Business Partner Silver status.

The business model is professional-services based, with quote-based engagements rather than disclosed fixed pricing. Revenue is generated through consulting fees for assessments, audits, documentation, and ongoing DSB/ISB officer services, complemented by Akademie training revenue and incident response retainers. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by content marketing through a corporate blog, newsletter, and active presence on LinkedIn, XING, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter/X, and Kununu. Beyond consulting hours, the firm packages methodology into the GAIMS sub-brand (Governance, Assurance & Information Security management system) and offers modular services such as a Hinweisgebersystem (whistleblower system) and 'Sichere Arztpraxis' (secure medical practice).

There is no proprietary technology platform disclosed; DATATREE is positioned as an advisory and services firm rather than a software product company. Technology leverage is limited to standard consulting tooling, a content/lead-generation web presence, and partnerships such as Vodafone. Headcount is in the 11–50 range and no funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment have been disclosed, consistent with a bootstrapped, independently owned firm.
