20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year. Neither Cognism nor Datagma is designed to continuously monitor your existing CRM for job changes and update records automatically — that's a different tool category.
🇪🇺 GDPR and data compliance
Cognism has a stronger GDPR posture — GDPR-first, TPS/CTPS verified. Datagma claims GDPR compliance but has limited documentation available.
For European teams or those with EU customers requiring documented sub-processor chains, the compliance posture of your enrichment vendor matters. Make sure to request a DPA and sub-processor list before committing.
