The opportunity

Technology has fundamentally transformed the notion of privacy — what it means to affected stakeholders (individuals, regulators, organizations) and how each party can remain accountable in a world that technology has turned on its head. Today’s privacy regulations are evolving all around the world and in the region with the increasing data protection and privacy requirements to protect personal data.

Our Data Protection and Privacy Consulting Services are meant to assist organizations in handling these new regulations, trends and risks, by ensuring a regulatory compliant flow of personal data, supporting their business.

• Ensuring a harmonized approach towards data protection and privacy by bringing together our client’s stakeholders (e.g., legal, compliance, risk, human resources, security functions)
• Assisting clients in privacy related incident response activities
