SIGNUM Consulting

What SIGNUM Consulting does

SIGNUM Consulting is a Berlin-based IT solutions and risk-management firm operating as the German entity of DISA Global Solutions Inc., focused on employment screening, business partner due diligence, and compliance consulting for regulated enterprises. The company's core offering is a proprietary screening software platform augmented by the Pre-Employment Screening (PES) Portal for candidate self-service, the Compliance Monitor for ongoing post-hire surveillance, and ATS integration capabilities that embed screening into existing recruiting workflows. The service portfolio spans identity verification, reference checks, employment-history verification, sanctions-list screening, credit checks, and social media reviews, complemented by a Business Partner Screening line covering environmental, human-rights, corruption, and anti-money-laundering due diligence, plus advisory consulting to help clients implement screening programs end-to-end.

The company targets enterprises in regulated verticals — financial institutions subject to §25h KWG, KRITIS-designated critical infrastructure operators, and organizations with regulated IT environments — alongside general corporate buyers. Named customers include Bosch, Evonik, RWE, Montblanc, the European Patent Office, AXA, and MAHLE, reflecting a diversified enterprise roster across automotive, energy, chemicals, luxury goods, insurance, and IP. The company markets itself on GDPR-compliant data handling, EU-based data storage, ISO 9001 certification, and an in-house Data Protection Officer, with content marketing assets aimed at educating buyers on KRITIS, insider risk, and regulated-IT screening requirements.

Commercially, the firm operates a consulting-led enterprise sales motion with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. Revenue streams combine subscription-style recurring screening services (pre-employment, in-employment, and business partner monitoring) with project-based consulting engagements. Geographic reach spans the DACH region plus localized operations in the Netherlands and Sweden within a broader EMEA and global footprint claim. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, ownership, or leadership-team details, limiting visibility into capital structure and growth investment capacity.
