The EU-GDPR makes the topic of data protection relevant throughout Europe and beyond
SCUTIS data protection specialists are mainly organized in four German regions covering the whole country. SCUTIS engages also internationally.
Our history
SCUTIS was founded in April 2018 in Munich/Germany. Since then SCUTIS supports all kinds of companies in the field of data protection. This includes in particular the provision of external data protection officers. The data protection specialists at SCUTIS also assist internal data protection officers. In companies that do not need to designate a data protection officer due to their limited number of employees we act as independent consultants who point out weaknesses in data protection and help to close these. Even if no data protection officer needs to be designated, the GDPR is important for every company and involves risks that need to be minimized.
SCUTIS sees itself as a network of data protection specialists with different foci. Thus, SCUTIS clients have access to a pool of knowledge and resources in the area of data protection, while one person is the central contact person and coordinates all activities.

The Scutum
The company name SCUTIS is derived from the Latin word "Scutum". The Scutum was used by Roman legionaries as a shield and offered them a higher protection due to its shape. Together, the legionaries formed the formation "Testudo" which provided all-round protection. At the same time, the formation remained flexible and was able to advance further to reach its goal. SCUTIS can be translated as the ablativus of the Latin word "with the shields". SCUTIS is especially strong through ist network as we bundle our know-how and generate best practices from many data protection experts. Each individual is appropriately trained and has experience from many mandates - together we provide our clients with all-round protection and at the same time remain flexible to respond immediately to individual needs.
