PLATFORM AUDIT POWERED BY TÜV
The new proving ground for digital systems.
TRUST IS GOOD. TÜV IS BETTER.
Cars have to pass a regular TÜV inspection, so why not digital platforms? Since 2019, our "eCommerce Health Check" has given clients a standardized analysis of their systems, looking at overall condition and revealing optimization potential. Now we have developed that proven check-up into a comprehensive Platform Audit, together with TÜV TRUST IT GmbH.

SIMPLY DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHAT GOES ON THE PROVING GROUND.
Depending on your needs, you can run the individual assessment modules separately and assemble the check that fits you, modular by design: backend, frontend and security audit. You can choose from 14 assessment modules with a total of 63 assessment dimensions. And of course we are happy to advise you along the way.

ALREADY READY FOR THE BFSG?
On 28 June 2025, the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) comes into force. What does that have to do with your digital platform? Quite simply: the BFSG obliges companies to make all digital platforms accessible. As part of our frontend audit, we determine to what extent your platform meets the legal accessibility requirements and where improvements may be needed.
REQUEST AN AUDIT NOW
SECURITY WITH SEAL, CERTIFICATE AND REPORT.
At the end of every audit you receive a detailed assessment report with a personal presentation and explanation of the findings. It includes a management summary as well as all assessment details, including a rating of the modules and dimensions examined. Clear examples illustrate each rating. Beyond that, the report contains recommended actions based on the results, plus optimization options in at least two levels of urgency. If needed, we begin implementing urgent measures within four weeks.
