More than Compliance – Real Business Value
Unlock Business Insights
A DPA assessment helps uncover hidden data flows, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies — enabling process optimization and better resource allocation.
Data-Driven Decision Making
By documenting how data is processed, stored, and shared, companies gain a clearer picture of their information assets, making strategic decisions more precise and informed.
Organizational Clarity
A DPA assessment defines responsibilities and reduces ambiguity in data ownership, creating stronger collaboration across departments and reducing internal risks.
Digital Transformation Foundation
Clean and compliant data management is the backbone of any digital initiative – from AI to CRM to automation.
Future Certifications Ready
A well-documented DPA assessment puts you halfway toward achieving ISO 27001, SOC2 or other industry certifications.
Internal Risk Prevention
Most breaches originate from internal misconfigurations or negligence. A DPA assessment helps detect those before regulators or attackers do.
Stakeholder Communication
Show partners, investors, or customers that your company is forward-looking and proactive about data governance — not just reactive under pressure.
Better Vendor Alignment
You'll be able to assess and demand better data protection standards from third parties (suppliers, SaaS vendors, etc.).
Reduce Audit Costs
Having structured documentation from a DPA assessment drastically reduces effort and costs during regulatory or customer audits.

How We Guided Companies to DPA Compliance
TOM PARKER
Recruiting
Data Protection Optimization
The recruiting agency needed help organizing their candidate data protection. They were using different software tools but weren't sure if they were handling the information correctly.
We helped them understand the basics of data protection and created simple guidelines for handling candidate information. This included proper consent forms and clear data handling procedures.
Result: The team now confidently manages candidate data in compliance with Swiss data protection laws, making both the recruiters and candidates feel more secure.
