As we move to the end of 2025, the Legal & Compliance Group has played an important role in supporting our business across the tech, IT, aerospace, manufacturing, and consulting sectors. Our goal is simple: help every team innovate confidently while protecting the company from legal, regulatory, and ethical risks.

Here’s a look at how we are partnering with the business of all companies of the BU D&S this year:

Promoting a Culture of Integrity

Through short training modules, awareness sessions, and updated policies, we help everyone understand key topics such as confidentiality, conflicts of interest, anti-corruption, and responsible data use. Integrity is a shared responsibility—and one of TÜV NORD Group´s biggest strengths.

A Partner from the Start

More and more projects now involve Legal & Compliance from the early stages. This allows us to identify potential issues in advance—whether related to contracts, regulations, or export controls—so teams can move forward smoothly without surprises later on.

Protecting Data and Digital Tools

Data protection and cybersecurity remain top priorities. We support teams in managing personal and sensitive data correctly, assessing digital risks, and ensuring that new tools, platforms, and AI systems meet legal and industry requirements.

Stronger, Faster Contracting

Clearer templates streamlined internal reviews, and practical guidance have made contract processes faster and more efficient. This helps commercial and technical teams negotiate confidently while protecting our business commitments.

Looking Ahead

The Legal & Compliance Group has been created this year, and it continues to evolve as a strategic partner. Our goal for 2026 and the years ahead is to become a practical partner that helps our business innovate, operate internationally, and maintain the trust of customers and stakeholders. By working together, we ensure that our business remains competitive, trusted, and ready to grow in a rapidly changing environment.
