Felix Niemann operates as a sole proprietor based in Kiel, Germany, providing digital services and software solutions with a focus on academic quality assurance, data processing, and secure SaaS operations. BiblioCertus is a software-as-a-service platform for automated plausibility and verification support of academic bibliographies. The service processes uploaded PDF, DOCX, TXT, RIS, or BibTeX files to extract bibliographic references and compare them with public bibliographic metadata sources. It generates structured reports showing matched, partially matched, and non-verifiable references. BiblioCertus is intended to support academic quality assurance but does not replace final scholarly or editorial review. The service is hosted within the European Union on Hetzner Cloud infrastructure. Administrative access is protected by mandatory multi-factor authentication. BiblioCertus is operated in accordance with applicable GDPR requirements and supported by documented technical and organisational measures, data deletion procedures, access controls, vulnerability management, backup procedures, and incident-response processes. Selected NIS2-aligned security practices are used voluntarily as a trust baseline; the service does not claim formal NIS2 registration or certification.
