Do you know where you stand with digital law?

For organisations that know digital regulation exists and genuinely want to act on it, but can no longer see the wood for the trees. Think of compliance officers, legal teams and C-level executives looking for a clear roadmap: which obligations and risks are at play, and which steps follow. Not sure if the scan is right for your organisation? You’ll find a more detailed overview further up this page.

The time required can vary depending on the size of your organisation and the type of Digital Law Scan. A Focused Scan, for example, generally has a shorter turnaround than a Combined Scan. Is it urgent? Get in touch and we’ll think it through with you.

A team of experienced lawyers will guide you through the process, step by step, with an approach tailored to your organisation.

We keep the impact on your day-to-day operations as limited as possible, in line with the scope of the Digital Law Scan. Internally, this typically involves an intake conversation of around one to two hours, possibly followed by one or more interviews with follow-up questions after our document analysis, and one to two hours for the final presentation.

You receive a compliance status, a detailed, tailored report (including quick wins where applicable), and a presentation to your organisation’s key people, giving you the insights and steps needed to comply with digital regulation.

Yes, internal teams are exactly our ideal partner. Digital regulation evolves so quickly that it can be hard for generalists to follow every legal or technical nuance of, say, NIS2 or the AI Act, closely. We strengthen your internal team and save you weeks of groundwork research. That way, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Our lawyers are also available to answer questions so your internal team can take it from there.

Absolutely. A great deal of digital regulation (such as the CRA or NIS2) affects SMEs directly or indirectly, for example through requirements from other or larger clients. A Digital Law Scan ensures you don’t lose customers or partners who ask for proof of compliance, and that you don’t over-invest in things that don’t apply at your scale. We help you apply digital regulation in a way that’s tailored to your organisation’s size.

This depends entirely on the digital regulation we’re analysing, as the scope of each regulation or directive differs. For instance, we may need to map out your sector, geographical reach, turnover, headcount, the type of data you process, and your digital products or services. Still completely unsure where to start?

Our legal experts (consultants and lawyers) work on digital law daily. Some of our experts are also sought-after authors and speakers, or are additionally active academically as teaching assistants. This doesn’t mean you should expect lengthy or complicated academic advice from our experts. It does mean our experts closely track the interpretation and changes in digital law. Through continuous monitoring, active participation in legal networks and our internal CRANIUM Academy, we follow every development, from draft text to final entry into force.

We try to validate this as thoroughly as possible before starting the Digital Law Scan. However, the concrete impact can sometimes only be assessed definitively once we’ve carried out our research. If our research shows that the impact of a particular law is limited, it’s marked as “not applicable” on the roadmap, and we shift our focus and effort to the digital regulation that does pose a real risk or obligation for your organisation.

Specialised law firms can, like us, provide legal advice on digital law. What really sets us apart is, first, that we don’t stop at giving legal advice, and second, that we can also help you on the technical side after the Digital Law Scan. In the context of digital regulation, it’s more important than ever to combine legal and technical expertise, and we have all of that in-house. A law firm, by contrast, relies on subcontractors or ad hoc collaborations with external technical partners, since a law firm may in principle only consist of lawyers. That’s different with us. We translate legal requirements into practice and into our clients’ business reality. We start from the same legal rigour as your law firm, but work it into a concrete approach: a clear to-do list, realistic timelines and deliverables that fit your day-to-day operations. That knowledge comes from years of hands-on experience across many sectors and business types.

In short: where legal advice tells you what the rules are, we also help you with how to apply them in practice and translate them into a technical reality.

The compliance roadmap we deliver is a living document. Because we clearly indicate the thresholds and triggers per law, you’ll be able to assess for yourself the impact of a business change (e.g. new or different business activities, exceeding SME thresholds where relevant) on any new obligations. Of course, we remain available to help you with that too. Is there an important new law? Then we simply run a targeted Focused Scan, which we seamlessly add to your existing roadmap. We won’t need to start from scratch, since we’re already well acquainted with your organisation.

Yes. The presentation is specifically designed to translate complex legal risks into clear, business-focused language for C-level executives and board members, and helps you secure internal buy-in and budget for the next implementation steps. Our lawyers can present this to the board or management themselves, or guide your internal team through it.
