The Animal Kingdom of GDPR
Let’s face it— GDPR isn’t always the most exciting topic out there. But Laurine likes to simplify complexity, using an analogy that compares GDPR’s challenges to three animals.
- The Mosquito:
Annoying sometimes and hard to catch—like GDPR compliance. Though ignore it, and you risk painful "bites" like fines or reputational damage.
- The Elephant:
GDPR can feel huge and overwhelming. The Data Protection Lab helps clients break it down into manageable parts, making it easier to tackle step by step.
- The Chameleon:
Compliance isn’t a one-and-done exercise. GDPR evolves constantly. That’s why organizations need to stay flexible to keep up with changing regulations.
A Mission to Let CEOs Sleep Better
Laurine’s mission is simple but impactful: helping CEOs sleep better at night.
GDPR can feel like a distraction from core business priorities, but it’s an important one. Our job is to offer peace of mind so that companies can focus on what truly matters—running their business.
Her philosophy? Avoid overkill. You don’t need a bazooka to kill a mosquito. Instead, the Data Protection Lab identifies real risks and focuses on practical solutions.
Lessons from The Frontlines
As a former Data Protection Officer (DPO), Laurine knows the struggles of compliance first-hand.
At Ask Q, we focus on trust, not fear—offering a positive, risk-based approach instead of scare tactics.
This practical mindset ensures the Lab’s solutions aren’t just theoretical—they’re designed to work in the real world.
The Game-Changer: Privacy Management Tools
The Lab has introduced a privacy management tool to take the lead in GDPR compliance. It brings together everything in one easy-to-use platform, replacing scattered emails, documents, and spreadsheets. From automating workflows to providing clear dashboards and heat maps, the tool offers instant visibility into compliance status. It simplifies key processes and fosters a more cooperative approach within organizations.
But Laurine emphasizes that tools alone aren’t enough.
It’s the combination of smart tools and expert brains that makes the difference.
The Takeaway
Laurine’s personal view on the Data Protection Lab reflects the ethos of Ask Q—turning challenges into opportunities and complexity into clarity.
