Data Breach Protection for Businesses
Data breaches cost German companies an average of EUR 4.3 million. With Data Loss Prevention, encryption and real-time monitoring, we protect your sensitive data — NIS2- and GDPR-compliant.
Why Data Breach Protection?
Protect sensitive data, detect leaks early and meet obligations verifiably
Encryption
End-to-end encryption of sensitive data — at rest and in transit. If data does leak, it is unreadable without the matching key.
Real-Time Monitoring
Monitoring of your data flows runs automatically around the clock: suspicious access and unusual transfers are detected and reported immediately. Alerts are assessed and escalated by your dedicated contact during agreed hours.
Data Loss Prevention
DLP rules detect and block the uncontrolled outflow of confidential data — via email, USB or cloud.
Incident Response
Rapid response to data breaches: containment, forensic analysis, BSI notification (NIS2) and GDPR-compliant notification.
GDPR Compliance
The GDPR provides for fines of up to 4% of annual revenue. We implement the technical and organisational measures and document the processes so that you can evidence them to the supervisory authority.
Access Control
The least-privilege principle and multi-factor authentication restrict access to sensitive data to authorized people.
Data Loss Prevention

Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often before a project – with answers on process, costs and data protection.
What is a data breach and how does it happen?
A data breach is the unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential data. Causes include cyberattacks, misconfigurations, human error or insider threats. According to the BSI Report on the State of IT Security in Germany (2024), data breaches are one of the most common consequences of cyberattacks on German companies.
What costs does a data breach cause?
According to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report (2024), a data breach costs German companies an average of EUR 4.3 million — including fines (GDPR: up to 4% of annual revenue), notification costs, reputational damage and business interruptions. Under NIS2, additional fines of up to EUR 10 million may apply in the event of inadequate protective measures.
