datenschutz süd GmbH
Founded in 2009 in Würzburg, datenschutz süd GmbH provides expert consulting on data protection, information security, and compliance to organizations across southern Germany. Learn more about us and our consulting services here.
Who We Are
As a member of the DSN GROUP, headquartered in Bremen, we share three core values with our colleagues from northern Germany: experience, practical solutions, and passion. Experience, because we are part of a company group with over 20 years of success in data protection and information security. Practicality, as we focus on balanced, pragmatic approaches that ensure compliance while prioritizing our clients’ needs.
And then there’s passion: we believe in what we do and enjoy engaging in spirited discussions about the best consulting strategies, interpretations of legal decisions, and more.
From the start, our mission has been to stay close to our clients. Building trust through personal interactions and being available locally are key priorities for us. Our emphasis on proximity has enabled us to form deeper connections and ensure timely support.
Expanding our presence across multiple locations has strengthened our team. In recent years, we’ve recruited many skilled professionals to our offices in Würzburg, Cologne, and Stuttgart, and we’ve now added a new location in Munich. Today, datenschutz süd GmbH has a team of nearly 40 legal experts dedicated to providing top-notch consulting services.
