DatenBrand GmbH is a spin-off of BitFriends GmbH. With an extended team, DatenBrand supports customers before, during and after IT crises. In the many years of we have experienced and overcome numerous crises with and for customers of different sizes. With DatenBrand we would like to focus on the requirements of customers in the SME environment, who do not have the IT support in manpower and budget like corporations. Below you will find our offer for a reliable, affordable and guaranteed emergency support as well as for accompanying services which help to prevent or at least mitigate a crisis in advance.
1.0 Crisis Management
All the world is justifiably talking, albeit in the wrong terms, about "cyber dangers" in #uncharted territory. But not only one, in any case comparatively rare, targeted attack can lead your company into a crisis.
Vulnerable infrastructure and processes, inadequate documentation of assets, employees or service providers leaving the company, or simply the common accident in the form of natural hazards are taken far less seriously and are often just as threatening. Some projects are actually time-critical and not only in theory, but cannot be realized in the conventional way.
With our expertise and our partner network we support you proactively or reactively on an effective but above all pragmatic way out of your crisis.
1.1 Emergency Management
An emergency can be triggered by a wide variety of events. What they all have in common is that the house is literally on fire.
Contact person in case of emergency
DatenBrand is your central point of contact in the event of an emergency, if required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Coordinator in a crisis
In an emergency it is difficult to keep a cool head. Everyone (employees, customers, service providers, etc.) want to know at the same time what is going on and how to proceed. We support you in this task.
Additional resource
We are another resource you can rely on in an emergency. With our distinctive hands-on mentality, we tackle wherever we are needed, in close coordination with you.
Your assets documented externally
In an emergency, urgently needed documentation may also be affected or not immediately available. DatenBrand offers you secure storage of this data. In the event of an emergency, you gain access to this data and we can effectively support you in analysis, assessment and damage repair from the very first minute.
Well prepared together
We prepare you for an emergency and ensure that a possible emergency is dealt with as quickly as possible.

1.2 Project Taskforce
Due to their structures or motivation, many IT service providers are not in a position to take an unconventional look at projects that are actually impossible in terms of time, to implement an initially pragmatic solution and then, if necessary, to iteratively transfer it to the target image.
Where others shake their heads, we step into the breach. We provide all our services accordingly, even under challenging conditions in terms of time and content.
You have a (time)critical IT requirement and receive only rejections in response to your requests to IT service providers, feel free to contact us and we will look into our magic book together.
1.3 Interim Management
IT is the backbone of most companies. All the more problematic when a key IT person drops out unplanned.
DatenBrand supports you in the various challenges that arise, e.g. the continuation of projects, the tendering of new positions or the examination of alternative strategies.
Likewise, we complete, as a temporary project manager in your company, our consulting portfolio and support you in the concrete implementation of the jointly defined goals.
2.0 Analysis & Consulting
Due to its expertise in a wide range of areas, DatenBrand is your perfect sparring partner when it comes to analyzing and advising on existing or new IT solutions, or for general audits of different areas of your IT.
In many cases, IT is also an integral part of corporate processes outside of pure technology companies.
In the course of financing, capital raising or M&A, the question often arises as to how resilient this pillar is or what future financial challenges are hidden behind it.
We provide support in analyzing and evaluating the existing IT environment, digitally mapped processes, product ideas, or envisioned strategies.
In addition, we are your partner for the consolidation or fusion of IT landscapes when merging companies.
3.0 Digitalization
In addition to our extensive portfolio in the area of analysis and consulting, we also provide concrete technical implementations in selected areas. These are not shown exclusively below, but reflect our core competence in day-to-day business.
DatenBrand GmbH is a spin-off of BitFriends GmbH. Together with the BitFriends team, we optionally take over the individual conception, development, maintenance and operation of software solutions, depending on the requirements.
Whether you want to map complex business processes with us or just automate simple tasks, with our expertise in both traditional software development and the use of low / no-code frameworks, we serve you from the appropriate toolbox.
Why DatenBrand?
Why another service provider?
DatenBrand is not "yet another" IT service provider, but offers you much more as an additional resource:
- An independent expertise as a second opinion
- An external review of your IT systems
- An experienced interim project manager for your IT projects
- A central point of contact in case of emergencies
- Support in solving complex IT challenges, where classic IT service providers reach their limits.
... to name just a few
I have all this already
We are glad to hear that, we are happy to support you in reviewing your current solutions and contingency plans as another instance.
Why are there no prices anywhere?
We charge for our services based on the effort and time required to solve your individual problems. Each customer has their own requirements and challenges, which mean a different effort even for similar services. In addition, the effort required can vary depending on the industry, size of the company, and complexity of the process. We work closely with you to understand your requirements and find a solution that meets your needs and budget.
Can you really do all that?
First of all, we would like to emphasize that we have years of resilient experience in the field of our services.
We have already successfully implemented numerous projects and can therefore draw on a broad range of expertise.
In individual areas, we also work closely with partners who support us as needed and strengthen us in terms of content and personnel.
Finally, we would like to convince you of our capabilities and our commitment. Finally, we would like to convince you of our abilities and our commitment.

Let's do it the year after next
When it comes to IT security, tasks that are due should not be postponed. Continuous improvement is easier to implement and manage than radical change. A "big bang" change is harder to manage and often requires more resources and time. Instead, start today with small steps and ensure you are making steady progress. Getting to know us first can help you find the right path. Don't delay, act now!
About us
Together we look at customers and projects from different perspectives and thus bring the best solutions for you. We are a team of experienced IT experts specializing in IT security, IT strategy and IT management. We are convinced that we can create real added value for you with our services. We look forward to hearing from you!
