Proliance Differentiation

Proliance is neither a pure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) nor a pure consulting firm. The platform is also not a passive document storage system, but an active management tool.

The focus is on the hybrid approach: The strength of the offering comes from combining a structured, audit-ready platform with the implementation-oriented expertise of certified consultants.

Former Brands

Until its renaming in 2025, Proliance was known under the brand name datenschutzexperte.de. The name change reflects the strategic expansion of its offerings, which now include information security and compliance in addition to data protection. All services of the former brand will continue under Proliance.
