DE:
Kompetenter, englischsprachiger Service, eine schnelle Reaktionszeit durch besonders ***kurze Wege*** sowie EU-Datenschutzbestimmungen gewährleisten höchste Sicherheits- und Qualitätsstandards.
EN:
A competent, English-speaking customer service, rapid response times due to especially ***short communication routes***, and EU data privacy provisions, ensure the highest standards of security and quality.
Would this work? There is a KudoZ question containing several interesting answers. However, I need to be sure it can be a proper translation in the context at hand. Also, I find some of the answers there a bit hard to integrate seamlessly with the existing English.
Cheers,

short communication channels
I would go with 'channels' rather than 'routes'. I've often seen this used in English business lingo contexts, and this is how I translate 'kurze Wege', which may even be the German rendering of the original English 'short communication channels'.
