Our Services: Detailed Solutions for Your GDPR Compliance Needs
When it comes to GDPR compliance, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Different businesses face different challenges. That’s why we offer eight distinct services designed to address each aspect of GDPR compliance, from data audits to employee training. Here’s how we can help your business:
1. GDPR Readiness Assessment
Before anything else, your business needs to understand its starting point. A GDPR readiness assessment helps you identify where your organization stands with respect to data protection. We perform a thorough analysis of your data collection, processing, storage, and security practices, assessing whether your systems comply with GDPR standards. This assessment highlights areas that need attention, helping you prioritize where to start.
- Challenge: Uncertainty about whether your data practices align with GDPR standards.
- Solution: We conduct a thorough audit of your data protection measures, identifying gaps and vulnerabilities in your current practices.
- Result: A clear roadmap that ensures you know exactly what steps to take to achieve full compliance.
2. Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
When your company handles personal data, particularly sensitive information, you must assess the risks of processing that data. DPIAs are required by GDPR when processing activities may result in high risks to individuals’ privacy. We help you conduct these assessments, ensuring that you identify risks and implement mitigation strategies before any processing begins.
- Challenge: Fear of overlooking risks that may jeopardize compliance or expose your business to fines.
- Solution: We conduct DPIAs to assess potential risks related to your data processing activities, including how data is handled, stored, and shared.
- Result: We help you minimize legal risks and ensure that data processing practices are safe and secure for your clients.
3. GDPR Compliance Strategy Development
GDPR isn’t something that can be solved in a single step—it requires a strong, ongoing strategy. We work with you to develop a GDPR compliance strategy that aligns with your business needs. This includes identifying key areas that require attention, creating a timeline for implementation, and ensuring that everything is in place to keep you compliant year after year.
- Challenge: Lack of a clear, structured plan for maintaining GDPR compliance over the long term.
- Solution: We develop a detailed strategy to integrate GDPR principles into your day-to-day operations and ongoing business activities.
- Result: A clear, structured path forward for continued compliance, ensuring you stay ahead of changing data protection regulations.
4. Data Subject Rights Management
Under GDPR, individuals have specific rights regarding their personal data, such as the right to access, rectify, and delete their information. Managing these rights can be complicated, but we help you develop systems that allow for fast and efficient handling of data subject requests. Our data subject rights management services ensure that you are always ready to respond within the required timeframes.
- Challenge: Difficulty handling requests related to data subject rights (e.g., erasure requests or access requests).
- Solution: We help you implement processes that allow your business to respond to requests efficiently and on time.
- Result: You’ll stay compliant with GDPR’s stringent timelines, avoiding penalties and protecting your reputation.
5. GDPR Documentation and Record-Keeping
A key requirement of GDPR is maintaining detailed documentation of all data processing activities. We assist in creating and maintaining the necessary documentation for all your business’s data activities, including data processing agreements, record-keeping systems, and consent forms.
- Challenge: Uncertainty about what documentation is needed to prove compliance.
- Solution: We ensure that all necessary GDPR documentation is in place, from processing records to data subject consent forms.
- Result: You’ll have a complete audit trail that demonstrates your GDPR compliance in the event of an audit.
6. GDPR Training for Your Team
Your staff must understand GDPR regulations to ensure compliance at every level of your business. We provide GDPR training sessions that cover the essential principles, along with practical scenarios your team may face. These sessions are designed to enable your employees to take responsibility for data protection within their roles.

- Result: Your team will be knowledgeable, compliant, and confident in their ability to handle personal data.

Our data breach response and management services help you create an actionable plan for responding to breaches and minimizing the damage, ensuring that you meet all regulatory requirements.
- Challenge: Lack of preparedness for the possibility of a data breach.
