dataspot. is a data governance and metadata management company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, with additional offices in Linz, Basel, Zurich, and Berlin. The company started as a data governance consultancy before building its own software, and in 2026 was acquired by SoftProject as part of that group's expansion into data governance tooling.
The platform captures business, technical, and governance metadata in one place, giving data teams a searchable catalog of what data exists, where it lives, who owns it, and how it connects to other data assets, which BARC's Data Management Survey has ranked the #1 data governance tool in international comparisons. Consulting services around data modeling, data quality, and governance strategy accompany the software for organizations that need more than a self-serve tool.
dataspot. serves mid-size and large organizations in banking, utilities, and public administration, primarily across Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, that need to document and govern their data landscape for compliance and operational reasons. Pricing is not published; prospective customers work through a sales conversation to scope a deployment.
