Let’s set a course
for compliance

If you are sharing personal data or transferring it overseas, even if this is between the same group of companies, did you know this is classed as a ‘data transfer’? Such activity means you must consider the data protection landscape for overseas transfers and find a compliant path to navigate. We can guide you towards compliance across multiple regulatory territories through due diligence, contract negotiation, impact assessments, drafting binding corporate rules, or remediation activity.

No one wants to suffer a data breach, but they can and do happen. Whatever the scope or severity, staying calm and following a defined process is essential to mitigate the risks and fallout of a data breach. From assessment and response planning, to liaising with regulators, we have the experience and expertise to help you weather the storm.

The quality and legitimacy of personal data held by a company contribute to its value. So, whether you are investing in a company, purchasing a customer list, or part of an exciting merger, it is vital that you undertake due diligence to make sure personal data that is part of the transaction has been collected lawfully and is of value to you and the business. Our pre-investment audit process is meticulous, focusing on key pitfalls and risks in this area and providing the information you need to make an informed decision about the true value of the data.

The battle for customers is intense, and many digital platforms depend upon precisely targeted advertising for revenue. Combine this with a boundary-pushing entrepreneurial mindset and rapidly developing technology, and you have a fertile environment for breeding compliance risks for data protection. We can help you strike a pragmatic balance between commercial goals and an individual’s right to privacy and help your business use new technologies and innovative ways of lawfully using personal data.

Having compliant privacy policies, procedures, contracts, and notices is one thing. Operationalising your data privacy framework is another. Nurturing a compliance-first culture with a confident and capable privacy team and sharing awareness of data protection responsibilities across the business is where we excel. Our eLearning platform, bespoke webinars, workshops, and mentoring deliver the training and awareness you need for all employees, regardless of their level of experience in this area.

In today’s fast-paced digital economy, data protection is a 24-7 job. An increase in business activity or backlogs of work only add to the risk of non-compliance. Whether you need to deal with a surge in activity, a lack of in-house resources, or interim cover for sickness, maternity or vacation leave, we have expert professionals with vast experience in effective collaboration available to help.
