What do we offer?

We don’t just know the rules – we translate them into pragmatic and business-friendly solutions. Our mission is simple: to make GDPR compliance a (painless) reality. 

 

Here’s how we can help:

Scan

We take a close look at your current data protection practices, identify any risks or gaps, and suggest straightforward ways to improve. You get a clear roadmap on what to do an when.

We roll up our sleeves to put the right building blocks in place, to not only comply with the law but also earn the trust of your customers.

DPO as a Service

Need a Data Protection Officer but don’t have one in-house? You can rely on our experts to effectively manage any data protection concerns or challenges. 

Implementation

Achieving GDPR compliance begins with laying the right foundation from the start. A robust GDPR framework
is built on key fundamental elements. We take care of setting these up for you and support you in keeping
them up to date, making sure you stay compliant over time.
 

Policies & Procedures

Internal rules and working guidelines are worth their weight in gold in terms of ‘hard-wiring’ data protection into the operations of your organisation. We draft and implement data protection policies and procedures that are easy for your employees to understand and follow. 

 

This includes a solid data retention policy, a clear data breach procedure, a simple process for handling data requests, and more. Plus, we make sure your privacy notices are ready for the outside world, whether it’s for your employees, candidates or website visitors. 

Training & Awareness

We deliver engaging training programs to spread awareness and familiarize your staff with their responsibilities under the GDPR. From basic awareness to role-specific guidance, we help build a privacy-first culture across your organization. We offer flexible formats, whether it’s an e-learning module or an in-person session (online or on site). 

Register of Processing Activities (RoPA)

We create and maintain a clear, up-to-date overview of all your data processing activities. Our team works closely with yours to identify and document what data you collect, the purposes for which it’s used, how it’s stored, who has access to it, etc. 

 

Unlike others, we don’t just deliver a one-time RoPA and leave it to you. We set up a process and offer continuous support to help you regularly update it as your data practices evolve, ensuring it always reflects your current operations – without placing an unnecessary burden on your part. 

Data Protection Impact Assessments

We offer a complete DPIA package to help you manage high-risk data processing activities in line with GDPR requirements. Our package includes:

 

  • DPIA Screener: A tool to help you decide if a DPIA is needed for new or existing activities.
  • DPIA Procedure: A clear methodology to guide you step-by-step.
  • DPIA Template: A simple model to help you structure and document assessments efficiently. 

 

What sets us apart is our end-to-end support: we don’t just give you the tools, we brief your team on how to carry out DPIAs, so they feel confident doing it on their own. 

DPO as a Service 

Our dedicated hotline connects you directly to a team of privacy professionals who serve as your outsourced Data Protection Officer. We provide fast, practical advice for any privacy-related matters that arise in your day-to-day operations. 

 

From reviewing data processing agreements to investigating data breaches and handling data subject requests, we handle all day-to-day compliance responsibilities, on an ad-hoc or ongoing basis. 

01

Built for Flexibility

Privacy challenges don’t follow a fixed schedule – so neither do we. You get the support you need, and (only) when you need it – without the overhead costs of a full-time in-house hire. Whether it’s one-off advice or ongoing assistance, we’re always just a call away.

02

Driven by Pragmatism

At the heart of our service is a hands-on approach to data protection. We are not here to just quote what the law says and overcomplicate things. Instead, we aim to simplify the complex and deliver practical, business-aware solutions that reflect your risk appetite and support your strategic goals.

03

Powered by Expertise

Our team lives and breathes data protection. With us by your side, you’re tapping into years of experience across multiple industries and jurisdictions. You get expert advice right at your fingertips, allowing you to focus on what matters most: growing your business.
