When compliance needs to be more than documentation, it takes advisers who understand the law, the technology, and the business. Meet Unitas – one of .legal's partners, helping organisations turn complex requirements into concrete action.
Who are Unitas?
Unitas is a compliance and information security consultancy based in Lystrup, near Aarhus. The company was founded in 2019 by Morten Schaumann and today employs close to 20 people with a mix of legal, technical, and process-oriented expertise.
It is precisely that combination that sets Unitas apart. The team consists of business lawyers, information security consultants, and technical specialists who work together across disciplines. Or as they put it themselves: they bridge the gap between law and technology.
Unitas advises on GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, CIS18, and D-mærket — and offers a range of services spanning DPO and vCISO agreements, vulnerability scanning, and ISAE audit statements. Their clients are typically found in highly regulated sectors such as utilities, finance, medtech, aviation, and manufacturing, but also among retail chains and hosting providers.
Unitas themselves hold the D-mærket certification and have several approved D-mærket advisers on staff. In 2024, the company was named a Børsen Gazelle — the 10th fastest-growing business in Central Jutland.
Why Unitas and .legal?
Compliance work requires both good tools and competent advice. A tool alone rarely solves the entire task, and advisory services without a solid foundation quickly become difficult to maintain. This is where the interplay between .legal and Unitas makes sense.
As a partner in .legal's partner programme, Unitas takes responsibility for the full customer journey — from onboarding and platform setup to ongoing account administration, support, and compliance advisory. This means organisations can get both the platform and expert guidance from a single point of contact.
"For us, it is essential to find the right tools that we can stand behind and bring to our customers. We only adopt solutions that create real value — and .legal's platform fits that bill perfectly."
– Morten Schaumann, CEO, Unitas
Unitas uses the .legal platform across their client portfolio for GDPR documentation, ISMS implementation, and compliance management. Their pragmatic approach — focused on solving problems in practice and always involving management — aligns well with .legal's ambition to make compliance easy to work with in everyday operations.
"Unitas shares our approach to collaboration and business understanding. For organisations that want a strong and efficient tool combined with competent advisory and sparring, our partner programme is the best path to getting both — and Unitas is a great example of exactly that."
– Brian Østberg, CEO, .legal
