MEET DATAVIE – GO FROM ZERO TO COMPLIANT IN JUST A FEW HOURS
In today’s rapidly digitizing world, the burden of data protection compliance often falls on already overstretched employees. Hiring a full-time Data Protection Officer (hereafter referred to as DPO) is a luxury many small and mid-sized businesses either can’t afford – or simply can’t find a good one. And understanding GDPR is no small feat on its own.
But what if that responsibility could be digitized, automated, and shared across your company?
The law demands it, customers expect it – and DataVie delivers. An Estonian-born data protection software startup with a simple but powerful promise: “Fulfill data protection requirements in just a few hours.”
Whether you’re an early-stage company with a limited budget, a DPO overwhelmed by admin work, or a quality manager responsible for processes and certifications, DataVie offers an intuitive, fast, and structured solution that turns complex regulation into manageable, everyday actions – no legal expertise needed.
“You shouldn’t need a legal background to manage GDPR,” says Piia Laks-Järve, Co-Founder and CEO at DataVie. “DataVie is designed to let you take control of compliance from day one, regardless of your prior experience with data protection.”
GDPR Compliance at the Click of a Button – A Strategic Start
At the core of DataVie’s innovation is ease of use. While many traditional GDPR compliance tools demand months of onboarding and specialized expertise, DataVie can be up and running in minutes. With just a few clicks, users can:
- Set up a ready-to-submit Data Processing Register (ROPA)
- Automatically generate necessary documents, e.g., a website-ready privacy policy, Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIA),and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
- Identify data protection risks that could impact business reputation
- Review and manage key compliance tasks
- Map out partners and the systems in use for full transparency
This instant jumpstart – from zero to a GDPR-compliant documentation framework – eliminates the need for in-depth legal knowledge, reading the regulation, or hiring a DPO right away.
“From the very first login, our software enables immediate value,” adds Laks-Järve. “It’s intuitive, guiding you through the process and handling the complexity for you – ideal for companies that don’t have the time or resources to navigate legal documents.”
A Tool for the Whole Company – No Expertise Needed
Where other tools tend to over complicate, DataVie hits the sweet spot: easy enough for everyday users, powerful enough for professionals.
If your business doesn’t have a DPO, DataVie gets you compliant quickly. If you do have a DPO, the software helps them to manage processes efficiently – without growing the team and while reducing time spent on repetitive administrative work.
“Data protection isn’t a document, a checkbox, or a one-person task – it’s a culture,” notes Kaisi Elo, Co-Founder and CTO at DataVie. “It’s a shared responsibility. We’ve built software that empowers people to take ownership based on their roles, which is essential for building long-term, embedded compliance.”
With shared responsibility:
- A marketing specialist ensures personal data is processed appropriately in campaigns and email marketing
- An HR specialist securely manages recruitment activities
- An accountant processes personal data in invoicing and salary payment
This role-based accountability model is easy to manage in DataVie and makes data protection a natural part of everyday business – not a siloed legal obligation.
Faster Implementation – With No Setup Headaches
One of the biggest advantages of DataVie is how quickly companies can start seeing value. While many GDPR compliance tools require lengthy onboarding, complex integration, or even external consultants, DataVie offers a true plug-and-play experience – no setup fees, no technical knowledge, no friction. Just log in and get to work.
“Most compliance platforms are built for experts,” says Elo. “We flipped that script. Ours is built by experts for non-experts – the HR manager, the CEO, the office administrator. If you can use basic productivity tools, you can use DataVie.
”With guided templates, built-in best practices, and automated documentation, you can implement core GDPR requirements in hours – not weeks or months. That means faster compliance, faster audits, and more time to focus on what actually grows your business.
Prove Your Processes – for Tenders and Certifications
Whether you’re applying for ISO 9001, ISO 27001, or other information security standards and certifications, or participating in ESG-focused tenders, DataVie helps to prove that your company doesn’t just have documents – it has a living, functioning privacy process.
You can demonstrate update processes, active task tracking, risk management, and role-based accountability – all without hiring additional specialists. It’s a cost-effective way to prove compliance, build trust, and stand out in competitive procurement processes.
Shaped by AI and Customer Feedback
“Our development is strongly influenced by what our users need,” says Erki Kütt, Senior Developer and Architect at DataVie. “We continuously adapt the platform based on customers’ feedback. That’s how we make sure we’re solving real problems.
”DataVie handles the heavy lifting by focusing on automation and user experience, from AI-powered document creation (LIA, DPIA, etc.) to guided support. It’s a standalone solution covering GDPR compliance end-to-end.
Our Vision: Help Companies Succeed – and Lead the Market
Looking to the future, DataVie’s ambition is clear: to help organizations succeed in data protection by making compliance achievable, understandable, and sustainable – for everyone. The company also aims to lead by example in the privacy tech space, setting a new standard for how businesses embed data protection into their core processes.
“Our mission is to make privacy a strength – not a struggle – and to show that it’s absolutely possible to get started in just a few hours,” concludes Laks-Järve.
