Tools, techniques, training and support to connect, engage, and influence

We're not just another consultancy, we're a catalyst for change.
Turning data protection into a strategic advantage

At Purpose and Means, we don’t settle for compliance for compliance’s sake. We partner with leaders across the globe to align data protection tightly with business purpose and strategy, ensuring it’s a living, breathing part of your organisation - not just a legal checkbox.

Although we are based in Copenhagen, we operate globally and have years of experience of working with global corporations - understanding their requirements and how they work.

Being a niche consultancy, we have the agility to turn on a sixpence and adapt to your changing business circumstances.

What makes us different?
  • We bring data protection to life: Using visual thinking and engagement-focused methods, we make data protection accessible and actionable from top to bottom.

  • Beyond the legal bias: While we collaborate with legal teams, we break down silos, empowering every function of your business to embrace ethical, rights-based approaches to data.

  • Ethics at the core: We don’t just preach and teach compliance; we help you embed fairness and transparency, reflecting key principles of European data protection law.
