Who is the CRANIUM Group?
Data challenges are rarely one-dimensional—so why settle for a one-size-fits-all approach? At CRANIUM Group, we are your Swiss pocket knife for data: adaptable, precise, and equipped to handle every aspect of data compliance, governance, and security.
Our roots lie in privacy, but over the years, we’ve evolved into a one-stop-shop for legal services, cybersecurity, and data management. We don’t just advise—we implement and follow through, ensuring real impact. Unlike rigid corporate giants, we stay agile, pragmatic, and innovative. Whether you’re tackling regulatory complexities or strengthening your data strategy, we provide the right tools to get the job done.
CRANIUM Group is not your average data consultancy. We are a powerhouse of expertise on data compliance and governance. Our roots may lie in privacy, but over the years, we have evolved into a one-stop-shop for data protection, legal services, cybersecurity, and data management.

Our evolution
Founded in 2016 with a focus on privacy, CRANIUM quickly recognised the interconnectedness of privacy, security, and data management. We saw the need to integrate these domains rather than treating them as isolated business units.
As our expertise grew, so did our ambition. Today, CRANIUM Group is a well-established team with strong partnerships, a robust operational core, and a commitment to scaling our impact.
By creating specialised entities that thrive under the umbrella of a solid support system, we ensure that every area of expertise gets the attention and resources it needs to flourish.
What makes us unique?
We are a one-stop-shop
but with a focus on expertise rather than a generic approach.
We do more than advise
we implement, execute, and deliver measurable results.
We tailor solutions
rather than forcing businesses to adapt to frameworks
We are not corporate
no rigid structures,
no bureaucracy,
no egos
We cultivate a unique team
bringing together diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives
