More effective compliance. Less risk. More security.

Protect your company—and your management

A professionally structured compliance management system (CMS) not only protects your company from legal and financial damage. It has also been proven to reduce personal liability and insurance risks for board members, managing directors, and senior executives. In short, an effective CMS protects the organization—and the people who bear responsibility.

Why compliance is essential today

The demands placed on company management are constantly increasing. Both companies and public authorities are legally obliged to establish an effective compliance management system. Failure to do so may result in personal liability and regulatory sanctions due to organizational negligence in not having a compliance management system in place.

Courts, regulatory authorities, and legislators require:

  • systematic risk analyses
  • clear delegation of responsibilities
  • regular updating of the legal register
  • verifiable control
  • complete documentation

These six core responsibilities apply across all industries and form the foundation of a modern CMS.

At the same time, the amount of damages and liability claims is rising—and D&O insurance only provides limited coverage. A CMS comes into play where risks arise: in the day-to-day operations of your organization.

Our offer: Development of effective CMS for companies and public authorities

We support you in developing a compliance management system that:

  • legal requirements met
  • Case law and standards (including Section 91 (3) AktG, LkSG, DIN ISO 37301, CGK, DCGK, PCGK) taken into account
  • Organizational fault demonstrably avoided
  • reduces the personal liability of management bodies
  • Insurance risks minimized
  • Compliance costs efficiently reduced

We combine legal expertise, digital solutions, and practical applicability.

How we work

1. Risk and obligation analysis

We identify all relevant legal obligations and risks – completely and precisely.

2. Organizational design

We develop a structured system of delegation, responsibilities, and processes.

3. Update and control mechanisms

So that your compliance doesn't just exist, but is lived out every day.

4. Documentation & evidence management

So that in an emergency, you can demonstrate that you have done everything necessary.

5. Efficiency through digitalization

Upon request, we integrate legal tech approaches that can reduce updating costs by up to 60%.

Your advantages

An effective compliance management system significantly reduces liability risks because managers can prove that they have taken all necessary organizational measures in the event of a dispute. At the same time, insurance risks are reduced: a robust CMS protects against disputes with D&O insurance in the event of an emergency. Internally, too, a clearly structured system creates security—from the executive board to the specialist departments. Defined routines and digital support also increase efficiency and transparency, which noticeably reduces compliance costs. Overall, a CMS offers more protection for your company and for the people who bear responsibility.

A robust compliance system creates clarity, security, and trust.

Regulatory and supervisory authorities now expect transparent, robust compliance structures. Many allegations of alleged organizational or supervisory breaches do not stand up to professional scrutiny if an effective compliance management system is in place.
It is therefore crucial to establish a well-documented CMS at an early stage that meets governance requirements and manages risks in a transparent manner. We support companies and authorities in setting up compliance systems in accordance with ISO 37301 and effective risk management processes. This enables organizations to reduce liability, fine, and reputation risks and to provide reliable evidence of their organizational obligations to supervisory authorities and control bodies.
