Our data protection officer assists you as per EU GDPR

Our experienced data protection officers analyze and assess data protection at your business. They work with you to develop suitable measures that optimize your corporate data protection.

Four steps are involved in this process.

1. Assessment by means of a data protection check-up

We perform a check-up to assess the current condition of data protection at your business. We analyze the current state of your corporate data protection, efficiently identify potential vulnerabilities and non-compliances, and provide you with documented recommendations to close any gaps. This check-up is performed based on current requirements, such as the EU GDPR.

2. Prioritization of measures

The data protection officer creates a prioritized list of recommendations according to their urgency. This list documents the order in which the measures will later be implemented.

3. Implementation of measures

Our expert works through the list of items based on priority. Implementing the recorded measures will help you achieve a level of protection that is appropriate for your business.

The state of data protection is continuously monitored and improved. This will allow us to maintain optimal protection for your personal data going forward.
