What easydatasec does

EasyDataSec GmbH is a German data protection and privacy compliance consulting firm founded in 2023 and headquartered in Hayingen, Germany, operating with 1-10 employees under Managing Director Maximilian Schneider. The company provides external data protection officer (DPO) services and comprehensive GDPR/DSGVO compliance support to German businesses of all sizes, including data protection audits, registers of processing activities (Verfahrensverzeichnis), employee awareness training, technical and organizational measures (TOMs) documentation, data processing agreements, data subject request handling, breach recording and notification, data protection impact assessments (DSFA), and website/privacy policy compliance checks. Its primary customer segment is the horizontal German SMB and mid-market, with no disclosed customer logos or case studies, and no segment-level revenue mix.

The core technology is a proprietary EasyDataSec Software platform offering shared document storage, collaborative task management, and centralized document organization to support consulting engagements, paired with automated workflow mechanisms intended to minimize client time investment (the company claims only one hour per month of client time). The company does not offer a public API, SDK, or third-party integrations and has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities; the platform functions as an internal collaboration and process management tool rather than a standalone software product.

Commercially, EasyDataSec operates a sales-led, direct consulting model with free initial consultations as the lead capture mechanism, followed by customized, quote-based service packages delivered via online monthly meetings. Revenue derives from recurring professional services subscriptions, pricing is not publicly disclosed, the geographic footprint is limited to Germany (with DACH referenced as a served market), and the company has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries. The single disclosed commercial relationship is a minor hosting partnership with All-Inkl, governed by a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement.

Direct peers

• datenschutz nord GmbH: Established German external DPO and data protection consulting firm serving SMEs and enterprises. Directly comparable to EasyDataSec in core offering, customer base (German businesses), and regulatory focus under GDPR/BDSG.
• activeMind AG: German provider of external data protection officers and privacy compliance services with proprietary compliance software. Closest direct peer — same DPO-as-a-service model, same target market, and similar software-enabled approach.
• Datenschutzkanzlei (Sturm und Drang): Long-standing German law firm/consultancy specializing in data protection officer services and GDPR compliance. Competes for the same SME/external-DPO mandates that EasyDataSec targets.
• 2B Advice (PRISMA Gruppe): German DPO outsourcing and data protection software provider with the DSB-Board tool. Direct peer in both consulting services and proprietary compliance software, serving similar German SME market.

Emerging players

• Securys Ltd: European privacy and data protection consultancy offering DPO outsourcing and GDPR advisory. Comparable in service model, though UK-based and serving a broader European client mix.
• Prighter (formerly Maetzler): European SaaS platform for GDPR/privacy compliance, targeting SMEs with self-service tools plus optional DPO services. Adjacent competitor combining software automation with external DPO offerings.

Broad incumbents

• OneTrust: Large US-based privacy management software platform with extensive DPO/GRC capabilities. Represents the software-enabled scale competitor that could automate aspects of EasyDataSec's manual compliance work.
• KPMG (Germany): Global Big Four firm with a substantial German privacy and data protection practice serving mid-market and enterprise clients. Competes for larger DPO mandates that EasyDataSec might otherwise win.
• PwC (Germany): Big Four with significant GDPR/data protection advisory in Germany. Overlaps with EasyDataSec on enterprise and upper mid-market DPO engagements, often as part of broader GRC mandates.

Others

• Hetzner Online (hosting — not a peer): German hosting provider; included as an illustrative adjacent/ecosystem reference rather than a true peer, since EasyDataSec's customer base overlaps with companies using Hetzner infrastructure.
