CIVAC is a compliance platform and officer-as-a-service offering for companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It brings all 77 appointable officer roles — including Data Protection, Compliance, IT Security and Occupational Safety — into a single working environment.
Companies can choose how they work with CIVAC: license the workspace and run it with their own internal officers, or have CIVAC appoint certified officers who work directly on the company's behalf. Both routes run on the same evidence trail, the same template library and the same reporting line to the board.
How it works
The compliance workspace is organised into six areas: tasks, trainings, audits, documentation, questions and AI-powered checks. A library of 905 ready-to-run templates covers data protection impact assessments, supplier audits and NIS-2 incident notifications. An always-on compliance agent drafts policies, prefills security questionnaires and flags overdue obligations, each confidence-scored and source-cited. Five automated checks review the company's website, obligations and audit readiness. A monthly run consolidates completed tasks, trainings and audit findings into an export-ready record.
Why now
Regulatory pace is accelerating. The EU AI Act's obligations for high-risk AI systems came into force on 2 August 2026, adding to an already growing set of deadlines officers need to track and evidence. CIVAC is built to track controls, deadlines and evidence continuously, rather than reconstructing the record once a year before an audit.
Data and security
CIVAC hosts all data within the EU, aligns its information security with ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and escalates sensitive legal questions to external counsel.

CIVAC's answer:
CIVAC brings all 77 appointable compliance officer roles in Germany into a single workspace — no other platform covers the full breadth of roles in one place.
Flexible model: companies can license the software for their own officers, or have CIVAC appoint certified officers to work directly on their behalf. Both routes run on the same evidence trail. 905 ready-to-run templates covering data protection impact assessments, supplier audits, NIS-2 incident notifications and more. Always-on compliance agent that drafts policies, prefills security questionnaires, and flags overdue obligations, each confidence-scored and source-cited. Continuous evidence, not annual scrambling: a monthly run consolidates completed tasks, trainings, and audit findings into an export-ready record — so the record is built during the working week, not the week before an audit. EU-hosted data, aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with sensitive legal questions escalated to external counsel.
CIVAC's answer:
Most compliance and security-focused platforms concentrate on one certification or role — SOC 2, ISO 27001, or a single officer function. CIVAC instead covers the full spectrum of Germany's 77 appointable officer roles (Data Protection, Compliance, IT Security, Occupational Safety, and more) in one workspace, so companies aren't managing multiple disconnected tools for different officer functions.
CIVAC also uniquely offers officer-as-a-service alongside the software: companies can have CIVAC appoint a certified officer directly, rather than only providing a self-serve platform. Every action — whether run internally or through an appointed CIVAC officer — lands on the same evidence trail, ready to export as DOCX, XLSX, or PDF.
CIVAC's answer:
CIVAC serves mid-sized and larger companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that need to appoint one or more compliance officer roles — such as Data Protection Officer, Compliance Officer, IT Security Officer, or Occupational Safety Officer — and want to manage evidence, training, and audit readiness in one place rather than across spreadsheets and shared drives.
CIVAC's answer:
CIVAC was built around a simple observation: compliance rarely fails because officers lack subject knowledge — it fails because the evidence isn't there when it's needed. Companies appointing officers for roles like data protection, IT security, or occupational safety were stitching together spreadsheets and shared drives, only pulling everything together in the scramble before an audit.
CIVAC brings all 77 appointable officer roles in Germany into one workspace, so the evidence trail builds itself during the normal working week — tasks, trainings, audits and documentation all in one place, whether a company runs its own officers or has CIVAC appoint one on its behalf.
