Data Protection.
IT Security. AI Compliance.

Your navigators in a complex world

Data protection, IT security and AI compliance are often taken seriously only when it is already too late. Today, a cyberattack, a personal data breach or the uncontrolled use of AI can be enough to seriously damage trust, revenue and reputation. At the same time, legal requirements and the expectations of customers, partners and authorities continue to rise. Companies that ignore risks or respond only half-heartedly expose themselves unnecessarily. Sustainable security requires clear accountability, effective processes and professional guidance.

Data Protection

Making data protection work as a safeguard, not an obstacle.

IT Security

Identifying risks, setting priorities and being prepared for an emergency.

AI compliance

Using AI effectively – with clear rules, accountability and oversight.

Joachim Maaß is a highly experienced data protection professional with extensive expertise in the GDPR and other data protection regulations. He stands out for his in-depth knowledge, strong analytical skills, and practical, solution-oriented approach. Joachim has a remarkable ability to explain complex legal requirements in a clear and accessible way, enabling organizations to understand and implement them with confidence.
His reliable, dedicated, and professional approach has played a key role in the successful implementation of effective data protection frameworks across organizations.

Gerhard Stegmair, mein OnlineBüro GmbH

Joachim Maaß has been an ideal external Data Protection Officer for our organization. He sets himself apart from his peers in both his expert knowledge of global, European and German data protection and related laws, as well as having a heightened awareness of and sensitivity to business processes. He supports our businesses and helps find pathways to ensure personal data is appropriately protected and respected, while allowing businesses to meet their fundamental operational needs. He is also a genuine pleasure to work with, and even when there are potential points of contention, the interactions are always positive. I find him to be exceptional in this regard and recommend him without hesitation.

Samantha Vaughan, VP, Verisk

I attended the webinar on the GDPR and found it extremely informative. The presentation was clear, well-structured, and highly educational, making a complex topic much easier to understand. One of the aspects that stood out most to me was the practical nature of the content: during the webinar itself, I was able to identify and implement an important change on my website. Furthermore, as a foreigner living in Germany, knowing who I can turn to for this kind of guidance, at least in English, makes a huge difference.
I recommend it to anyone who works with third-party data and/or intellectual property.
