SBR Powerhouse

What SBR Powerhouse does

SBR Powerhouse B.V. is a Netherlands-based private software company, founded in 2018 by Drs. André J. Biesheuvel RE RA RDPO, that operates a cloud-based SaaS platform called the SBC (Standard Business Compliance) Management System. The platform is purpose-built for GDPR/AVG accountability and is delivered on the Ninox database, with data hosted exclusively in EU-based data centers under EEA jurisdiction. It consists of six integrated modules covering processing registers, data breach and incident management, data subject requests, contract management, investigations/DPIAs, and accountability logging, supplemented by an integrated Learning Environment for employee awareness and training.

The company sells through a hybrid model combining direct sales (phone, email, contact form, online self-service) with three core channel partners: Duthler Associates (advisory and DPO-as-a-service since 1998), Duthler Academy (training since 2014), and MYOBI B.V. (Trusted Third Party affiliation for code-of-conduct compliance). Pricing is publicly disclosed in three tiers: Professional at €560 per month (ex VAT) for 2 users with a €250 one-time implementation fee and additional users at €40 per month, Enterprise on request for larger deployments, and Special Sector pricing for public-sector and non-profit organizations. Primary customers are Dutch DPOs, privacy officers, and compliance teams at controllers and processors, supplemented by public-sector and non-profit buyers; all operations are concentrated in the Netherlands. In April 2023, the company executed a major platform rebuild, replacing its earlier taxonomy-driven system with standard cloud technology.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Securys: Securys is a UK-based privacy and data protection consultancy and software provider offering GDPR compliance tools and managed services. Comparable to SBR Powerhouse's combination of compliance software and consulting-led delivery, though smaller and UK-focused.
• WireWheel: WireWheel is a privacy management SaaS offering processing registers, DSR automation, vendor risk management, and consent tooling. Comparable to the SBC Management System's privacy ops modules and target buyer (privacy teams), though positioned more for mid-market US companies.

Broad incumbents

• TrustArc: TrustArc provides enterprise privacy management software including privacy assessments, processing register automation, and DSR workflow. It is a direct competitor to the SBC Management System with overlapping functionality but a US-centric product positioning and broader portfolio of certifications and services.
• Collibra: Collibra is a data intelligence and governance platform that includes data cataloging, privacy, and compliance capabilities. It overlaps with SBR Powerhouse's LEM and processing register functionality but is positioned for large enterprise data teams rather than Dutch SME compliance buyers.
• AvePoint: AvePoint offers data governance, privacy, and information management solutions including compliance and risk management modules. Comparable to SBR Powerhouse in privacy/governance workflow scope but with a much broader Microsoft 365-centric data protection portfolio targeting larger enterprises.
• OneTrust: OneTrust is the leading global privacy, security, and GRC platform offering processing registers, consent management, data subject request handling, and incident management. It competes directly with SBR Powerhouse across most SBC modules but targets large multinationals, whereas SBR Powerhouse focuses on the Dutch mid-market and public sector.

Regional players

• Cookiebot: Cookiebot (Usercentrics group) is a Danish-headquartered CMP and privacy management platform with strong presence across Europe. It is comparable as a European privacy SaaS provider serving GDPR compliance use cases, though its core emphasis is on consent management rather than full accountability workflows.
• Iubenda: Iubenda is an Italian privacy and cookie compliance SaaS offering privacy policies, cookie banners, and consent management for websites and apps. Comparable as a European SaaS compliance tool focused on GDPR, though oriented toward SMBs and digital businesses rather than DPO-led accountability workflows.

Direct peers

• DataGuard: DataGuard is a Munich-based GDPR and information security compliance platform offering processing registers, DSR management, and audit capabilities as SaaS. It is a very close functional peer to SBR Powerhouse, also targeting the DACH/EU SME segment with a similar modular approach.
• 2B Advice: 2B Advice is a German/German-speaking privacy and compliance software vendor offering GDPR management tools including processing registers and DSR workflows. Comparable to SBR Powerhouse in target customer (DPOs and SMEs) and product scope, but focused on the DACH region.
