About us

Our mission

We built Onteigo because the existing options just didn’t work for fast growth SMBs. Traditional consultants are expensive, slow, and their advice expires as soon as there is a change in the regulations or your business. In-house DPOs were out of reach. And automated platforms promised compliance in clicks — but left founders buried in complexity, still responsible for interpreting the law, responding to requests, and navigating grey areas. Startups & scaleups needed something better — something purpose built for their speed, their budget, and their ambition.​

About me

​I've spent 6+ years in data protection, and as a DPO within tech companies of all sizes, large tech enterprises, scaleups and scrappy startups. Hayden and I were seeing the same problems faced by startups & scaleups first hand, over and over again, that's why we knew we needed to build Onteigo.
