Fehlentscheidungen bei Scope/Vendor-Auswahl durch unklare Compliance-Anforderungen

Average vendor selection error cost: €10,000-€100,000 in wasted software/consulting spend. Scope misidentification: €5,000-€50,000 in misallocated remediation budget. Rework/tool replacement: +€3,000-€20,000.

BFSG applies to specific product categories (computers, ATMs, ticketing machines, routers, game consoles) and services (banking, telecom, passenger transport, e-books, e-commerce). Exemptions exist (pre-2025 media, legacy systems with transition period). Companies without expert legal assessment misidentify compliance scope, select vendors targeting wrong products, or invest in tools addressing non-applicable standards.

BFSG Bußgelder und Sanktionen bei Nicht-Einhaltung

Verlorene Geschäftschancen durch fehlende Compliance-Dokumentation

Per-client lost upsell opportunity: €5,000-€50,000 (remediation contracts range €10,000-€100,000+; monitoring €2,000-€10,000/year). Portfolio impact: €50,000-€500,000 annually for mid-market service providers.

Digital accessibility market in Germany valued at ~€1.4 billion (2025), growing 10-15% annually in Europe. Service providers offering assessment-only are losing remediation, compliance monitoring, and legal documentation contracts. Companies unable to demonstrate compliance risk face audit/enforcement with no prior mitigation service consumption.

Kundenverlust durch nicht-barrierefreie digitale Erfahrungen

Estimated 2-8% revenue loss per non-compliant service (varies by target market). For €1M annual e-commerce revenue: €20,000-€80,000 annual customer churn. For €10M: €200,000-€800,000.

Digital accessibility barriers exclude ~20% of adult population in Germany with disabilities or age-related impairments. E-commerce, banking, and transportation platforms with poor accessibility fail to convert these customers. Current failure rate: 93% of European websites, with <1% improvement year-over-year.
