Audatis MANAGER is ahead on six of the seven scored criteria: privacy management (6.7 vs 1.5), rights and incidents (3.5 vs 0.7), framework coverage (5.0 vs 1.3), audit readiness (6.0 vs 1.2), integrations and automation (2.8 vs 1.2), and sovereignty (4.8 vs 3.0). The first five lean audatis MANAGER six judges to none; sovereignty leans five to none with one tie. The split is pricing transparency, where Robin Data ComplianceOS leads 1.0 to 0.5, two judges leaning its way and four tying — though pricing was not weighted in either verdict, and both vendors publish no prices. Sovereignty attributes list both products with legal entity jurisdiction DE and EU-only data residency; audatis MANAGER's subprocessor exposure is listed EU-only, Robin Data ComplianceOS's as unknown. Weighted totals appear for five judges — the lead auditor's 5.2 to 1.3 and the skeptic's 4.3 to 1 — and no total is listed for the external DPO.

The Drafted Generalist
Office manager at an 80-employee firm who got compliance added to her job title, not her calendar. Optimizes for guided workflows in plain language and software that knows the law so she does not have to. Rejects consultant-shaped platforms that assume a compliance department.

Criterion by criterion
Records & DPIA depth
audatis MANAGER
The RoPA module is the real deal for someone like me — industry packs with 65–77 pre-built activities, save-as-template, group linking, delegation to the people who actually know the process, and export as the official register the authority expects. AVV management even auto-generates the processor's own register. But nothing shows DPIAs triggered from the record or TOMs and legal bases wired into one connected data model, so it's a strong set of modules, not one system of record.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
The only product evidence is marketing: 'hochsichere, eigenentwickelte... Software-as-a-Service-Plattform ComplianceOS' for compliance process management, while the captured product pages confirmed not a single RoPA field, DPIA questionnaire, processor entry or TOM. A self-developed SaaS platform is more than a folder of Word files, so above 0 — but I can't verify even anchor-3 register structure.
Data subject rights & incidents
audatis MANAGER
Betroffenenanfragen get managed centrally with answer templates and the Löschkonzept has genuine structure — deadlines, storage locations, deletion classes — which is more than a log. But there is no breach register anywhere in this sheet: no 72-hour clock, no authority notification, no statutory deadline automation, and for the operational half of the DSMS silence is the finding.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
Nothing in the registry evidences request intake, a breach clock, or deletion workflows — the only rights-adjacent service is human: customers 'jederzeit schriftlich Fragen... stellen und fundierte Antworten erhalten' from the external DPO. That's requests arriving by email and living with a consultant, which is exactly the anchor-0 picture.
Privacy regime coverage
audatis MANAGER
DSGVO, BDSG, Swiss DSG and both church laws (EKD/KDG) genuinely match its market — Behörden und kirchliche Einrichtungen are named target customers — and the Infodienst pipes reviewed legal updates plus current law texts into the product. But this is German-market coverage: no UK GDPR, no AI Act privacy duties, and nothing showing one record mapping across regimes rather than being re-documented per law.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
The evidence never names a single privacy regime the software operationalizes — no GDPR, BDSG, nDSG or AI Act content appears in any confirmed fact, only German-language pages and a 'datenschutzkonforme' platform. One implied German regime, nothing cross-mapped, nothing evidenced.
Audit readiness & evidence
audatis MANAGER
Edit history per activity for Eingabekontrolle, revision-safe online confirmation of employee attestations, and reports that pull KPIs straight from the DSMS put this above PDF screenshots. What I don't see is an audit-scoped evidence pack on demand, auditor access roles, or any defensible answer to 'show me the state on date X' — so assembling the full file for an authority would still be my weekend.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
The ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and TÜV certifications are credentials of the vendor's house, not of the product — there is no evidence of revision-safe history, report generators, evidence packs or auditor access anywhere, not even on the platform page. One point for the certified vendor; the product's audit story is unevidenced.
Integrations & automation
audatis MANAGER
No API, no directory import, no live connectors anywhere in the evidence — the best I get is CSV/Word export of the register and task workflows I can assign to colleagues. The only 'integration' is bolting my own ticket system onto the whitelabel tier, which tells me the automation lives in reminders and assignments, not in my actual IT estate.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
The word 'Automatisierung (Compliance Automation)' appears, but the registry contains no API, no directory import, no connector, no webhook — nothing between manual entry and the marketing noun. Capturing the platform overview yielded no integration facts at all, which tells me there's nothing worth capturing.
European sovereignty
audatis MANAGER
German GmbH in Herford, product datacenter 'Standort Deutschland' as the default, and even an own-server option at the top tier — my RoPA would live in Germany. But there's no published DPA or TOMs for the platform itself, the subprocessor list I can see is website-scoped and includes Elastic APM at a San Francisco address, and the evidence itself flags the vendor entity as unconfirmed, so the chain is plausibly clean but not proven clean.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
The imprint confirms a genuine German GmbH (Amtsgericht Stendal, HRB 26213, German tax and phone numbers) plus TÜV certification, so this is not the non-EU case of rubric level 0 — but hosting location, DPA and any subprocessor list are all unevidenced in the registry. Undocumented subprocessor exposure is precisely the anchor-3 situation, and I can't credit EU-clean hosting without the vendor's own pages saying so.
Pricing transparency
audatis MANAGER
Every single price line — Standard, Group, Whitelabel, every add-on, even extra gigabytes of storage — reads 'Auf Anfrage'. I can see the tier shape (10 users included, 2 or 46 tenants) but not one number, so my two-minute invoice exercise starts with a sales call and a 30-day trial.
Robin Data ComplianceOS
The pricing page produced no numbers whatsoever: the external DPO's effort 'richtet sich nach dem Grad Ihrer Datenschutzanforderungen', audits and trainings are 'zusätzlich' bookable, and software pricing is entirely absent. Every configuration is a sales conversation — I cannot compute any invoice from this sheet.
