TESTIMONIALS

What our customers say

We make compliance exciting: Whether B2C, B2B, startup, or scaleup, Kertos is the right solution for companies looking to grow quickly.

Matthias Knoche

COO, McMakler

“European compliance automation built for mid-market teams”

As a mid-market company, we don't have a large compliance team, and Kertos means we don't need to build one. It automated our GDPR workflows so thoroughly that work which used to take days now takes minutes, and in many cases doesn't need a compliance manager to touch it at all. Onboarding took an afternoon, including connecting our own homegrown software via API. And unlike the mass compliance providers, we get a European partner who understands our requirements firsthand.

Julian Lübke

Co-Founder & CEO, deeploi

“Real compliance powerhouse”

Kertos quickly and precisely guided us through the GDPR and ISO27001 certification compliance jungle. The Kertos platform was easy to implement and is a real compliance powerhouse due to the high level of automation.

Claudio Kusnitzoff

Teamlead Online Product, Wellster Healthtech

“Reclaim valuable time”

With Kertos' access management solution, we can efficiently automate the tracking and documentation of access to our protected systems. This gives us valuable time that we can invest in developing our own product.

Ferdinand Schmidt-Thomé

Co-Founder, Aware

“Flexible and scalable solution for GDPR compliance”
