Our story
Everything began with our own work and the need to make complex data processing activities and digital solutions easier to understand, so that risks and compliance could be identified and managed more effectively. We wanted to make data flows visible and intuitive, enabling organizations to make decisions based on accurate, real-world insights. We believe that nothing can truly be assessed without understanding how data is actually processed.
Our story started in 2014, when we were working with some of Finland’s largest companies. At the time, data protection and information security were often managed with Excel sheets and PowerPoint slides. Collecting information across an organization was time-consuming, and keeping documentation up to date was nearly impossible. From these experiences came the idea for a tool that would simplify data collection, visualize data flows, and support the practical assessment of risks and regulatory requirements.
Today, visual data flow mapping serves as a shared language and a tool for collaboration. When experts from different roles can see the entire flow of data visualized, a shared understanding emerges, one that helps break down silos and identify risks before they materialize.
In addition to our software, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions that support data protection, information security, and risk management, and more broadly, enable responsible and secure data processing and regulatory compliance.
