Data protection certification in accordance with Art. 42 GDPR
– your data protection seal
Just a placeholder—this data protection seal does not exist. However, there are others for which we offer services.
Why GDPR certification is important
GDPR certification in accordance with Art. 42 GDPR is much more than a seal of approval: it is proof of active data protection and builds trust among customers, partners, and supervisory authorities. With professional preparation, you not only ensure compliance, but also gain a decisive competitive advantage.

Benefits of an Art. 42 GDPR data protection seal

- Legal certainty: GDPR certification supports controllers and processors in demonstrating compliance.
- Risk minimization: Reduce liability risks and avoid fines with strong data protection management.

Our services for your certification
Independent advice on data protection seals
We advise you on the relevant standards and help you select and implement the appropriate mechanisms. Examples of recognized certification mechanisms are:
- GDPR Information Privacy Standard
- Europrivacy
- EuroPriSe (until mid-2025)
It is possible to begin preparing for certification independently of a certification mechanism with the basic GDPR-requirements. Once these have been fully implemented, you can decide on a specific data protection seal. This is also our recommendation, as development is still dynamic at present and the basis for your decisions may still change.
