lexICT, your data protection consultancy
Data protection matters, yet in companies it often has the reputation of preventing projects or making them harder. lexICT concentrates on solutions that hold, watertight in law and feasible in technology.
Who we are
As a spin-off of the Institute for Legal Informatics at Leibniz University, we advise companies on all questions of data protection. Lawyers and IT professionals work together here to turn challenges in data protection, IT and cyber security, artificial intelligence and risk management into opportunities and competitive advantages.
Our proven method rests on the triad of pragmatism, individuality and legal certainty. Our clients are organisations, corporate groups and mid-sized companies. They benefit from our academic legal expertise and years of practical experience. From Hanover and Vienna we advise our clients across Europe.
What sets lexICT apart
Anyone can become a data protection officer, usually after a short course. Those officers mostly work with templates and checklists and have no deeper knowledge of data protection law. Sound advice is not possible on that basis.
With our academic roots and our years of experience, our data protection team consists entirely of highly qualified lawyers who research, publish and teach in data protection law. That lets us respond to your specific requirements and develop workable solutions.
We enjoy our work and intend to keep it that way. A relationship of trust with our clients therefore matters to us. Whether in a hoodie or a tie, we advise you as equals and take the time needed to make data protection understandable and to master your data protection challenges together.
As a data protection consultancy with the nerd factor we have broad technical expertise. That lets us work into complex problems quickly and efficiently, for example when new technical systems are introduced. Technical understanding is also the basis for a sound analysis in law.
As the link between IT departments and other parts of an organisation, such as management, works councils and business partners, we contribute to an efficient implementation of your projects by communicating technical and legal requirements to each of them and heading off reservations.
