DataGuard Reviews & Product Details

I like that DataGuard provides DPO services which assist with ad hoc advice, reviewing our documentation, providing points of improvement, and audits. I appreciate the data policy templates they offer. I also value the flexibility with no limit on the time they spend with us and their ability to assist using different methods like email or Teams calls. Having weekly catch-ups with our DPO and by always being available via email is great because it means we can rely on quick responses in our fast-paced business.

Nothing that I dislike. However, during difficult tasks like ROPA, perhaps more time in understanding what each question would be useful. Perhaps a mini training session on what a ROPA is, the purpose, and what information gathering needs to be done before the ROPA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataGuard convinces us on multiple levels. The clearly structured, user-friendly dashboard quickly provides us with a good overview of relevant topics and noticeably eases our daily routine.

I also appreciate the professional competence of the contacts. They respond reliably and promptly, while also bringing a deep understanding of our data protection issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

that we didn't find them much earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every specialist I’ve worked with from Dataguard has been highly professional, each bringing a unique consulting style and perspective. My recent internal audit with Daniel Buss was a great example. From the very beginning, Dan guided us through the entire process from audit planning to the final report with professionalism and clarity.

What stood out to me was his pragmatic approach, grounded in real-world examples and use cases. I especially appreciated how he turned each discussion into a learning opportunity. He has a talent for making the process engaging and approachable, creating an environment where you gain valuable insights while enjoying the experience.

The audit not only delivered important findings but also left us with new knowledge and perspectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I’ve been very satisfied with Dataguard’s services, both the product itself and the supporting consulting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the competent consultants provided by DataGuard, as their expertise helps ensure that our ISMS procedures are already well-drafted and only need to be adjusted for the specific context of my company, which saves a considerable amount of time. The high availability of DataGuard is a significant advantage because it means I can rely on the service without worrying about unexpected downtimes. Furthermore, the good training platform offered by DataGuard serves as a one-stop shop for all of my company's training needs, streamlining our processes and making it easier to stay compliant with essential certifications like ISO 27001. The initial setup of DataGuard was very easy, which facilitated a smooth transition to adopting the software in our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The training platform lacks depth in its content, making it easy for candidates to pass tests without fully engaging with the training material. This makes the experience less challenging. Instead of immediately providing the correct answer upon an error, it should indicate the mistake first and only offer additional guidance on a subsequent incorrect attempt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the extensive support from DataGuard, especially in the areas of data protection and ISO 27001 support, as well as in internal audit processes. The training videos and the templates for ISO are extremely helpful and contribute significantly to the efficiency of our compliance management processes. Particularly noteworthy is our IS 27001 consultant Stephan Trenker, who makes a great contribution with his expertise and support. Additionally, the initial setup process with DataGuard was very simple, which made the transition and implementation seamless. This, combined with its useful features, makes it very likely that I would easily recommend DataGuard with the highest rating of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the DataGuard portal, I see great potential, but the current UI is not yet optimal for me. I would like a more intuitive navigation and a sleeker design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I particularly appreciate about DataGuard is that the platform makes training videos directly available. I don't have to organize them separately. Everything is included in one package, which makes the processes very efficient. In addition, there are practical templates and samples for ISO and data protection. I can use these directly, which significantly eases and standardizes my workflows. Another important point is access to great experts. Here, I would especially like to highlight our ISO-27001 consultant Stephan Trenker positively. He is highly specialized and experienced. This allows me, as a small company, to tackle challenges that would be much more difficult for us alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is not state of the art and is somewhat difficult to use. It is not user-friendly enough, which could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The experts are quickly accessible and offer solutions promptly. The approach is straightforward and unbureaucratic. Overall, it is a well-thought-out system that enables the digital implementation of various management systems and standards like TISAX. Particularly noteworthy is the option to release guidelines and documents digitally. Additionally, we greatly appreciate the continuous and professional support from our direct contact at Dataguard. This way, we always maintain an overview and can work efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A small note: Due to the continuous and agile development of the platform, changes in the system occur relatively frequently, which means that one has to constantly reorient themselves. For the future, it would be desirable if the academy were available not only in German and English but also in other languages. Since we have several locations in Eastern Europe, it is difficult to conduct the training through the portal exclusively in German or English there. For this reason, we are forced to resort to another IT training portal. An integration of Entra ID would also be very helpful, as users could then log in easily and transparently via SSO.

What I find most helpful are the meetings with our consultant, Patrick Riha. Being able to schedule a meeting whenever I have questions or encounter problems, and then receive valuable advice, is extremely important to me. I also appreciate the policy templates, as they save time and make it unnecessary to create everything from the ground up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I took over the certification project from a colleague who is no longer available, I have no insight into how the onboarding process was handled initially. Personally, I have found it quite challenging—and at times, I still do—to anticipate the complexity of the process and estimate how long each step in the pathway will take. The expectation that certification can be achieved in three months has created the impression among our management that it is a straightforward and easily attainable goal. I am constantly working to counter this perception and to help stakeholders understand that the process is far more complex and not merely a minor IT issue.

Dataguard offers a wealth of information, but I sometimes find myself overwhelmed by the variety of sources. Occasionally, the content in the knowledge center does not align with what is presented in the policy templates or the webinars, which can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease and simplicity of the support, which provides a quick turnaround and gives me confidence. It saves me time as the head of compliance, making it easy to email and outsource issues. The initial setup was very quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, the team have been great so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The expertise in the AI field and the exceptional consulting quality by Onur Turhan are outstanding. We particularly appreciate the responsiveness, proactive thinking, and the ability to explain complex data protection concepts in an understandable way. The platform and resources have significantly contributed to establishing a data protection culture in our company. DataGuard always stays up to date with the evolving AI regulations and offers pragmatic yet secure solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the consistently positive experience, we do not notice any significant disadvantages. If anything, one might note that the high quality of the consultation may come at a price, but the investment is fully justified by the added value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
