Core formats ? how we work together
Mentoring & Peer?Coaching for internal managers
Many data protection, cybersecurity and compliance roles sit between all chairs: Management, IT, departments, legal department, co-determination ? and should keep an eye on everything at the same time.
In mentoring and peer coaching, we work 1:1 with you on your real topics: we sort, prioritize, develop decision-making guidelines and communication strategies.
Typical occasions:
- New role assumed (e.g. DSB, Privacy Manager, Data Protection Coordination, CISO?Environment)
- Critical projects: AI?Introduction, new software, global rollout, M&A, Carve?out
- Areas of conflict with management, IT or co-determination
Format:
Online?sessions (1?2× per month) plus short ad?hoc?slots, duration 3?12 months.
Governance?Quick?Check
The governance "Quick Check" is your entry point if you want to know how sustainable your current data protection and cybersecurity organization really is.
Together we look at roles, decision paths, reporting, control mechanisms and interfaces to regimes such as GDPR, NIS2, KIVO, DA, CRA, etc.
Procedure (example):
- Short kick?off?call
- Sighting of selected documents (Org?Charts, guidelines, committees, central processes)
- 1?2 structured online?sessions
- Score + 3?5 concrete fields of action (no 40?page audit?report)
Ideal if you're facing a major change or feel like it could go better? ?, however, does not yet know exactly how and where.
Project?Sprints & Hands?on?Accompaniment
For larger projects, we go directly into the project with a ? in clearly defined sprints.
Typical topics are M&A transactions and carve-outs, business transitions, eCommerce spin-offs, web shops, global system introductions or roll-outs of applications or transformation and corporate restructuring.
We define goals and scope together, we help with governance?design, role clarification, risk? and use?case?assessment and the preparation of management?decisions.
Operational permanent tasks such as VVT?Care or Standard?Notes we deliberately leave to specialized partners:in ? our focus is on strategy, structure, responsibility and critical phases.
Thematic Labs (M&A, KI, NIS2, Privacy?Governance)
Labs are in-depth formats with a clearly defined topic and duration: Several sessions, some over a few weeks, with concrete deliverables at the end.
They can be set up as an open format (small group) or internally.
Currently, we mainly offer these labs:
M&A? & Carve?out?Lab ? Lifecycle, due diligence, integration planning, data migration
AI? & Digital?Governance?Lab ? Assessment, monitoring and governance for AI?/ Digital?Use?Cases
NIS2? & Regulation?Readiness?Lab ? GDPR, KIVO, NIS2 & Co. integrate into existing structures
Privacy?Governance?Design?Lab ? Debureaucratize and reorganize the data protection organization
Details can be found in the next section.
Labs ? our specialization formats
M&A & Carve?out?Lab
When data, systems and societies are moved, data protection and cybersecurity directly depend on deal value and time to integration.
In the M&A? & Carve?out?Lab we look at:
Data protection? & Cybersecurity?Due?Diligence
Data Flows, Lifecycle, CRM? and eCommerce?Setups, Third?Party?Risks
Post?Merger?Integration and governance of the new world?
Format (example):
3?6 sessions over 4?8 weeks, plus 1?2 focus?workshops with your deal?/project team.
KI & Digital?Governance?Lab (incl. KIVO?Seminar)
This lab is aimed at companies that use AI applications and digital products responsibly and at the same time want to comply with regulations such as KIVO, DSGVO & Co.
Among other things, we are working on:
Use?Case?Inventory and risk classification
Roles, Human?in?the?Loop?Concepts and Release Processes
Documentation and documentation (e.g. for KIVO? conformity)
KIVO? variant:
Based on the same framework, we offer focused ?KIVO?Seminars / KIVO?Labs? in which we specifically address the implementation of the AI Regulation in the corporate context ? in a practical way and with regard to your existing structures.
GDPR, NIS2 & Regulation?Readiness?Lab
Many companies need to integrate GDPR, NIS2, CRA, DA and other regimes into their existing compliance and governance structures.
In the Readiness?Lab we create:
a compact gap image (Gap analysis, IS vs. SHOULD)
a mapping of existing roles, committees and processes
a prioritized roadmap with risk assessment
Ideal if you feel that new demands are coming your way, but you don't yet have a clear picture of where to start.
Privacy?Governance?Design?Lab
This is about the question: What does a data protection organization look like that really helps you instead of blocking you with bureaucracy?
We analyze your current set-up (structures, processes, roles, templates) and design a new governance model with you. Role models, decision paths, interfaces to IT security, compliance and risk management as well as useful application points for legal tech and AI tools.

AI
AI, and then what? Your KIVO seminar.
KIVO is more than a new compliance obligation. It is fundamentally changing how companies can develop, procure and use AI. Anyone who operates high-risk AI systems - whether in HR, finance, medical technology or everyday business - is faced with a clear question: Can I prove that my system is trustworthy?
The AI Regulation (KIVO) changes what companies have to prove when using AI. In this hands-on seminar, you will learn how to classify AI systems, structure assessments and seamlessly integrate data protection obligations.
From rebranding cases to significant changes to automated decisions. We make real-life case studies of legal text into lived compliance.
For whom?
Data protection officers, compliance managers, controllers, and anyone who adopts, procures, or operates AI systems.
