The thing is, the actual probability of being asked to comply with this for a small company is fairly small: it's aimed at Facebook and Apple. And perhaps privacy-orientated services like Lavabit. Your best option is to retain a really good ECHR lawyer, because that's where the fight is going to be.

This may be true for now, but I have seen far too many laws beeing used in other contexts than what they were intended for.

For now it maybe used in cases of 'terrorism'. In three years your products will get compromised because the state wants to catch a drug dealer. In 8 years, they also want to catch regular burglars, and in 10 years these laws may be used against you, because you forgot to mention a $100 bill on your tax declaration...
