Bridgemaker trusts caralegal as an essential tool for all ventures

Introduction

Bridgemaker’s core mission is to support clients in pioneering new business models and exploring innovative paths. As a company builder, Bridgemaker guides these ventures from ideation through concept development to launch and scale-up. Bridgemaker operates across a range of industries—Life Sciences, Logistics, and Mobility—but also within highly regulated sectors like finance.

Working as a partner, Bridgemaker offers clients a full-service portfolio, from financial governance to sales, marketing, HR, product design, and technology. The goal is to empower ventures with the tools and best practices they need to operate as independently as possible and become market leaders of tomorrow.

Challenge

Bridgemaker needed a data protection tool that could scale with new ventures and adapt to the varying industries of their clients. Many of the core processes across ventures are similar, so they required a solution to streamline data protection management and accelerate compliance documentation.

Two key factors stood out to Alicia Faridi: intuitive usability and comprehensive compliance support. “Each of our ventures needs to be able to operate independently. With caralegal, I always know what steps to take, even without being a data protection expert. It gives me peace of mind for myself and our ventures.”

Solution

With caralegal, Bridgemaker implements best-practice data protection approaches. Initially, the software was rolled out to two ventures and Bridgemaker itself. Through the compliance dashboard, Bridgemaker and its ventures maintain real-time oversight of all key metrics and compliance data, including processing activities, tasks, and document updates. Alicia Faridi particularly values the smart integration of features, such as linking records of processing activities (RoPA) with vendor management. "With just a few clicks, we can generate an updated RoPA when switching vendors. It’s a huge time saver.”

Similar core processes are common across ventures. Thanks to caralegal’s centralized, intuitive system, new ventures can efficiently set up processing activities and complete compliance documentation with just a few steps. The software’s user-friendly design and targeted guidance ensure compliance with data protection regulations, making caralegal an essential tool: "Every venture starts with a foundational toolkit, including tools like Jira, Google Drive, and Personio. As our ventures evolve, so does the tech stack, and we’re thrilled to now include caralegal as a foundational tool for data protection,” says Alicia Faridi.

Outlook

Bridgemaker and caralegal aim to continue growing their partnership. With ventures spanning various industries and business models, caralegal continuously evolves to meet Bridgemaker’s needs, optimizing and enhancing data protection management. Through a Privacy by Design approach, Bridgemaker builds not just groundbreaking new ventures but also sustainable, compliance-oriented successes.
