Data Protection 

What Does Your Organisation Need to Know?​

​

We have over 20 years of experience in data protection and privacy law, and the implementation of the EU & UK GDPR is not a mystery to us. Whilst, we have all heard the headlines about the big fines, the EU & UK GDPR is an opportunity for your organisation to get control over your data, a subset of which is personal data. We help you turn the EU & UK GDPR from a cost to a competitive advantage, making data an asset for your organisation.

• Identifying whether registration with local data protection supervisory authorities is required.

• Creating a central data register/record of processing of activities of all personal data processing activities.
