Collaborations & Specialist Expertise

Strong governance is built as a team.

Data protection and cybersecurity strategies don't emerge in a vacuum. To support you as comprehensively as possible, we work with a carefully selected network of specialists and within a dedicated partner network: your internal decision-makers, 2fink Consulting as a sparring partner, and expertise from our network brought in exactly where it's needed.

Looking for partners for a demanding data protection or cybersecurity challenge?

Or are you a specialist yourself, interested in working with us?

Collaboration in Projects

Many compliance projects don't fail due to a lack of expertise, but because of unclear responsibilities and conflicting expectations.

2fink Consulting steps in as the architect of governance and as a sparring partner for internal decision-makers. Together with you and your team, we design or guide roles, decision-making paths and priorities.

We generally don't take on operational tasks ourselves, such as creating and maintaining extensive records of processing activities or data protection notices. Instead, we jointly define standards and quality criteria and bring in specialised partners who carry out these tasks efficiently.

Our Specialist Partner Ecosystem

Depending on the project phase and the issue at hand, we bring in additional expertise in a targeted way, so that legal, technical and security aspects work together instead of running in separate silos. Our collaboration partners include:

law firms & specialised lawyers

for binding legal advice, so that legal validity is established when and exactly where it's needed.

cybersecurity specialists and penetration testers

for technical security analyses and penetration tests aligned with your risk and governance strategy

IT service providers and software developers

for privacy by design, the automation of compliance processes, and the integration of requirements into your system landscape

forensics and incident response experts

for emergencies, covering the analysis of security incidents, the restoration of system security, and the derivation of lessons learned

What this collaboration brings you

Coordinated expertise instead of siloed thinking, because legal, technical and security aspects work together, since we actively bring them together.
Vetted quality, because we choose our partners based on competence, reputation and fit.
A single point of contact, because you don't have to find and manage several providers yourself — we coordinate.
And a network that grows alongside your requirements.

Community Formats

From time to time, we team up with partners such as the Nuremberg Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK Nürnberg) or the SCHWUNG start-up centre to create formats for founders, self-employed and micro-enterprises. These are deliberately not our core business, but a contribution to the community and to raising awareness early on.

You'll find current dates under Formats & Events.

How a collaboration gets started

For companies and organisations:

You get in touch with a short overview of who you are, what's coming up, and where you see a need for advice or collaboration.
In a short conversation, we clarify whether and how 2fink Consulting can support you, and whether additional specialist expertise makes sense.
We then define roles and scope, clearly and precisely.
