Why AWARE7

Data Protection meets IT Security

Data protection and information security belong together. As a cybersecurity company, we think about both - not in isolation from each other.

Technically grounded

Our DPOs understand how IT systems, APIs and data flows actually work. No patchwork - but data protection that works in practice.

SME-focused

We understand the resources and challenges of small and medium-sized businesses. Our data protection is pragmatic and implementable - not just for large enterprises with dedicated compliance departments.

Everything from one source

Data protection consulting, penetration testing, ISO 27001, phishing simulation - coordinated by AWARE7. One contact for IT security and data protection.

Standards

Our Reference Frameworks

We do not work on gut feeling - we orient ourselves on established international standards for privacy management.

ISO 27701

Privacy Information Management System (PIMS)

ISO 27701 is the international standard for privacy management systems - an extension of ISO 27001 with privacy-specific requirements. We follow this framework because it bridges technical information security and legal data protection requirements (GDPR, UK GDPR etc.).

Structured privacy management system with clear roles and processes
Compatible with existing ISO 27001 certifications - synergy instead of duplication
Documents accountability evidence for GDPR Article 5(2) requirements
Suitable as an orientation framework even for organisations without certification plans

Data Processing

Trusted Data Processing

Our structured approach to trusted data processing is oriented on established best practices for service providers who process personal data on behalf of others. We incorporate this approach in our consulting - so your data processors are not only contractually bound, but also technically and organisationally trustworthy.

Criteria for selecting and evaluating data processors beyond the standard DPA
Transparency about data flows and sub-processors along the entire chain
Evidence for clients: your organisation as a trustworthy data processor
Relevant for B2B service providers, SaaS vendors and all who act as data processors

Seal: AWARE7 GmbH committed to the Trusted Data Processor code of conduct

AWARE7 is itself a committed Trusted Data Processor

We do not just advise on it: on 28 May 2026, AWARE7 GmbH committed itself to the officially approved Trusted Data Processor code of conduct (a code of conduct under Art. 40 GDPR, approved by the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Baden-Württemberg). The monitoring body is DSZ Datenschutz Zertifizierungsgesellschaft mbH (Art. 41 GDPR). This is how we demonstrate the sufficient guarantees required under Art. 28(5) GDPR to our clients.

ISO 27701 as an extension of your ISMS?

If you are already ISO 27001 certified or planning certification, ISO 27701 can be integrated as a privacy extension. We accompany both - information security and data protection - from a single source.
