Ensuring your compliance with GDPR and other jurisdictions’ Privacy regulations within 5 to 8 weeks.
The European Union has made a great leap with the creation of General Data Protection Directive (hereinafter GDPR) and set a norm on how data subjects’ rights can be protected uniformly. GDPR is applicable in every Member State of the Union and there are no derogations in any Member State that may create any sort of significant difference. This is because the GDPR has been structured in a way that it will single handedly regulate every aspect of the privacy related affairs and also ensure the application of these protective measures beyond the Union’s territory. Moreover, GDPR also provides general provisions under its ‘Six Principles’ setting a minimal protection standard for the instances where GDPR has not directly addressed. However, as an addition to the GDPR, certain Member States has decided to apply stricter measures on certain activities in specific sectors, these additional precautions are either sourced in Union wide supplementary legislations or local laws. An example could be the E-Privacy directive which significantly changes the state of Marketing Affairs, and local Anti-Money Laundering Laws which sets different retention period of certain data types and limits their delivery to the data subject. This consequently means that the legal landscape of the Union is more complicated than it appears to be and require detailed inspection of business activities in a company to ensure compliance with applicable laws. Our experts are ready to navigate you through this complicated legal regime and help you with ensuring your compliance is intact with the regulations.

There are different assessments for various purposes and objectives. When the matter is privacy, an organization can understand the risk they are exposed to, by simply performing Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) or Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).
DPIAs are a necessary and crucial tool to assess new products and systems before they are implemented to a business structure. This assessment may also be done at any point of time when there are suspicions of high risk imposed on a Data Subject’s personal data due changes in the service or additions to an already existing service. This assessment type is seen as the building stone of a privacy system as it helps to understand the risks associated with internal and external processes, pinpoint their sources, and assist with locating necessary remedies.
PIAs on the other hand, are required for understanding the risks associated with collection of personal data and usually performed to identify, document, and handle these risk imposed on a person’s privacy. With the help of PIA, the company guarantees the legality of the data gathering, evaluates the risks for data security, minimizes the possible danger to the data of people.
All the assessments helps with understanding:
Through these assessments, a company guarantees utilization of the six principles and it promises to be responsible for the received data, use it only when needed, secure it, and ensure both fair and transparent grounds with its clients.
A company must create agreements that explain how the information is gathered and processed by the company and associated third parties. They are established between organizations to clearly identify the roles of involved third parties and draft out the services offered. Form and the contents of the agreement are tied to the relationship between these organizations and whether they are a controller, joint-controller, or processor.
