Compliance and Regulation
We can assist you in the smooth implementation of Data Protection Compliance Directives across your organization, without disrupting your daily business.
Our Compliance strategy will help ensure your organization follows all laws and applicable regulations/standards – including GDPR. The main goals of Data Protection Directives such as GDPR or CCPA are to protect citizens’ personal data, increase responsibility and accountability of organizations processing personal data, and simplify the regulatory environment for business. The EU GDPR ensures full harmonization of data protection law across the EU internal market; once the regulation applies, all national data protection laws will be preempted by the regulation, even if they contain stricter provisions. New Rules have to be complied with whether your organization processes any employees’, clients’, or other personal data. Infringements of the Regulation’s provisions shall be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
Our approach allows you to identify, monitor, and control your PII data, assess potential exposure to a breach, and regulate your compliance against GDPR and other regulatory frameworks such as CCPA as you process and acquire new data.
We will help your company navigate the complexity of the Data Protection Regulatory landscape and most recent regulations, which require organizations to actively take measures to protect their personal data and that of their employees and customers.
We will advise your company to take organizational and technical measures, beyond traditional security measures that are aimed at confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data, in order to ensure compliance with Data Protection Regulation.
We will assist you with any cross-border legal and regulatory compliance, as well as reputational management issues and communication with regulators and local authorities.
What Questions Can We Help You Answer?
The new Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), and coming into effect on 25 MAY 2018, every personal data controlling organization becomes concerned, in terms of protection and processing of their data (*). The complexity of the EU GDPR landscape, including the use of cloud services, requires organizations to actively take measures to protect their personal data. Because of this complexity and the large amount of data processed, legal arrangements like policies, contracts, or protocols are not sufficient to comply with the EU GDPR. Companies must take organizational and technical measures, beyond traditional security measures that are aimed at confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data, in order to ensure compliance with EU GDPR.
*To take account of the specific situation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, this Regulation includes a derogation for organizations with fewer than 250 employees with regard to record-keeping.
