Dimensions summary
This listing offers two groups of contract options. The first group scales by data volume: DataGuard Express covers up to 25 TB, DataGuard Essentials up to 100 TB, and DataGuard Enterprise up to 250 TB. Each includes 24x7 support, so you pick the tier matching your data footprint. The second group covers service-based units: DataGuard Inspect, DataGuard Investigate, and DataGuard Deploy. These are separate options you can select based on the specific data security work you need. You buy each unit under a contract term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each of these tiers is capped by the amount of data the platform scans and governs. Express covers up to 25 TB, Essentials up to 100 TB, and Enterprise up to 250 TB. You pick the tier that matches your total data footprint across cloud, SaaS, and on-premise stores.
The volume tiers license platform capacity by data size. Inspect, Investigate, and Deploy are separate service-based units tied to specific data security work rather than storage capacity. You buy them independently of the TB-based tiers based on the tasks you need performed.
Each tier authorizes a set data volume and a set number of clusters. To go beyond that limit, you must notify the vendor and agree to increase the authorized amount. Growth is not automatic; you move to a tier or amendment matching your larger footprint.

The software platform appears to be a database application with only very little integrated workflows and automation. Still a few annoying (known) bugs and a to be improved useability for specific frameworks. Pull down list (risk management) are far too long to be useful (e.g.)

Easy-to-Use Compliance Platform with Expert Guidance for ISO 27001
Reviewed on Oct 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
DataGuard combines an easy-to-use compliance platform with expert guidance. It helped us structure and organize our ISO 27001 implementation, centralize our policies and audit evidence, and stay on top of day-to-day compliance activities. The platform’s structured approach, together with the knowledgeable consultants, significantly reduced the effort needed to prepare for certification and to manage ongoing audits.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup and onboarding take some effort, and a few workflows can feel more structured than flexible. That said, I see this as part of the trade-off for having a well-organized compliance framework overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataGuard helped us build an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS by pairing expert consulting with a well-structured platform. This combination sped up our implementation, reduced uncertainty along the way, and supported us in preparing successfully for our certification audits.

The system is sometimes "lock-in", data can usually no longer be exported. User management is inconsistent across several areas and can usually not be edited as an admin.

What do you like best about the product?
Good advice and support as an external data protection officer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Previous response: Quite expensive offer with little customization. Classic consulting for individual topics is no longer the company's concept, but an off-the-shelf system is not suitable for all companies. Those looking for this are in the right place. In the years 2023/24, the personnel situation in the IT security sector was also difficult, so the price/performance ratio was not right even with an individual contact person at the time. However, the privacy area performs very well, which is mainly due to the commitment of individual employees (shout out to Hanna). To be fair, DataGuard must be credited with compensating for the lack of performance before the initial ISO27001 certification with a discount that restored the price-performance balance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ISO27001 training, external DPO including contract management for AVVs. Saves us time because we cannot do this ourselves.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about DataGuard is the rare combination of smart software automation and actual human expert support. Instead of leaving you stranded with rigid templates or scattered spreadsheets, the platform gives you a clear, centralized system for all your GDPR and compliance tracking while backing it up with real consultants who can answer tricky regulatory questions. It completely takes the stress out of audit prep and day-to-day maintenance, saving our team a massive amount of time. Highly recommended if you want structured compliance without losing the human touch. It's definitely an investment, but totally worth it. Compared to hiring expensive external legal consultants by the hour, getting both the software platform and real expert support bundled together makes it very cost-effective and saves a ton of money.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the steep initial learning curve and a somewhat cluttered interface. Setting everything up requires more time and patience than expected, and fine-tuning basic templates to fit internal processes can occasionally feel too rigid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataGuard eliminates the chaos of scattered spreadsheets and manual guesswork for GDPR and compliance tracking. It benefits us by centralizing all our requirements into one clear platform with expert support, drastically cutting down audit stress and saving our team countless hours.
