What FinData does

FinData srl is an Italian data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity consulting firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Milan, with additional offices in Naples and Siena. The company serves Italian small and mid-sized businesses, mid-market and large enterprises, and public administration entities, helping them comply with overlapping EU and Italian regulations including GDPR (EU 2016/679), the EU AI Act (Reg. 2024/1689), NIS2 (UE 2022/2555), Italian Whistleblowing legislation (D.Lgs. 24/2023), Model 231 (D.Lgs. 231/2001), and ISO management system certifications (9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, UNI/PDR 125). FinData itself holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications.

The company delivers its services through a multidisciplinary team of lawyers, IT specialists, and consultants using standardized methodologies rather than proprietary software. Core offerings are external DPO appointments, GDPR compliance and audit, ISO certification consulting, AI Act alignment, NIS2 readiness, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, Managed Service Provider (MSP) IT services, certified Whistleblowing software, Cookie Management subscriptions, Model 231 implementation, and professional training. The technology stack relies on industry-standard tools; FinData's only software assets are its certified Whistleblowing platform and an automated Cookie Management Solution.

FinData operates a hybrid revenue model combining professional services (DPO contracts, audits, certification projects, hourly consulting at €100/hour), tiered subscriptions (Silver €299, Gold €449, Platinum €599 website GDPR packages; Piano ONE €990 / €330 multi-year business compliance; monthly cookie management subscriptions), and recurring MSP contracts. Distribution is sales-led with direct consultant engagement, complemented by a three-tier Business Partner program (Silver/Gold/Platinum with 10-30% commission and white-label options) targeting web agencies, software houses, accountants, and law firms. The company reports 11 collaborators, 157 clients served, and 211 projects completed.
