Privacy and Data Protection

In an increasingly networked and data-driven economy, the responsible handling of personal data is becoming the benchmark for seriousness, sustainability and entrepreneurial maturity.

In view of growing regulatory requirements in a European and international context, complex technologies and rising expectations from customers, business partners and supervisory authorities, structured and forward-looking privacy management is becoming increasingly important.

It is not just about fulfilling legal requirements. Organisations that manage privacy holistically strengthen their resilience, protect their reputation and create the basis for sustainable growth in the digital space.

They are supported in using personal data responsibly, efficiently and profitably while reliably fulfilling all legal requirements.

Our approach strikes a balance between legal security and entrepreneurial room for manoeuvre. Solutions are developed that both comply with the regulations and are optimally tailored to the individual needs of your organisation. Our approach to data protection management is holistic, practical and innovative, while always taking your existing structures into account. With in-depth experience from various sectors, synergies with other relevant legislation are recognised at an early stage and translated into practicable, integrated solutions. In the process, overlapping requirements are utilised in a time and cost-efficient manner for your company. The result is a data protection management system that is not only legally compliant, but also strategically valuable and tailored to your organisation's needs.

You receive a holistic approach to setting up a data protection management system - including the upstream design of a data protection landscape that is individually tailored to individual applications and systems or comprehensively tailored to your organisation. Where available, existing structures in your organisation are used and developed further together with you. A maturity assessment is recommended both at the start of the collaboration and at a later stage in the development of your data protection management system. On this basis, your business objectives and regulatory requirements can be precisely recorded and the appropriate measures can be derived in a targeted manner. Your data protection management system can be supported by one of our digital solutions, such as One Trust or Service Now.

Our experts in the field of data protection will support your company in developing a data protection-compliant system landscape - from analysing individual applications to preparing for certification in accordance with Art. 42 GDPR (e.g. EuroPrivacy). We also support you in the selection of and referral to a suitable certifying body.

In addition to setting up and maintaining a data protection management system, our certified experts take on the role of the externally appointed data protection officer and, if necessary, communicate with all relevant stakeholders.

In this way, you are supported from analysis to implementation and monitoring in order to establish data protection as a strategic advantage in your company.

In the first step, our data protection experts work with you to analyse the current status and data protection requirements in your company. All relevant information is collected in a targeted manner in order to create a detailed overview of the existing data protection processes. Based on a thorough gap analysis, a strategic roadmap is developed for you, which serves as a clear guide for the next steps. This ensures that your data protection strategy is optimally aligned with your business objectives.

Our experts will support you in implementing the privacy-by-design principle, which integrates data protection directly into your business processes. The focus here is on setting up an effective data protection management system that is based on recognised standards such as ISO 27701 where necessary and manages your data protection measures systematically, efficiently and sustainably. Proven methods are used to develop customised solutions that effectively put your data protection strategy into practice. In addition to the definition and implementation of data protection concepts, risk and consent management is taken care of and the gaps identified in the previous analysis are closed in a targeted manner. This creates a robust data protection foundation that secures your compliance in the long term.

In the final phase, you are supported in the implementation of the data protection measures developed and their effectiveness is continuously monitored. Based on clearly defined key figures, the success of the implemented strategies is evaluated for you and adjusted if necessary. Our experts also develop ongoing measures to ensure a sustainable level of data protection so that your company is optimally equipped to deal with data protection risks in the future.
