A data privacy framework gives your organization a clear structure for all data protection activities. We develop a modular privacy management system that connects governance, technology, and processes according to GDPR requirements and scales with your business.
Working with third-party service providers requires GDPR-compliant data processing agreements under Art. 28. We support the selection, assessment, and monitoring of data processors — from DPA drafting and vendor due diligence to continuous third-party risk management and compliance monitoring.
