We take away the burden of managing your compliance efforts, so that you can focus on building products, or your business.

Privacy compliance has many different aspects: ensuring appropriate security measures, maintaining documentation, applying privacy by design, and training your staff. As compliance partner for your organization, we can take on most of this burden while letting you make the decisions around data processing, and become relatively autonomously.

Most organizations have multiple stakeholders in their Personal Data Protection compliance, the most common ones being CEO, CTO, head of legal and product owners. While all of them care about the company and product compliance, their motivations are different. We have learned that all of them need to be involved at some stage and degree, but the day to day management is typically overseen by an internal privacy champion whom we can work with. We also connect directly with stakeholders where appropriate to ensure we meet their expectations

Our consultants bring a fresh perspective to your data protection compliance and help you to understand your data landscape and the steps you need to take to comply with data protection laws.

Our packages are delivered by certified EU GDPR practitioners and are suitable for businesses at all stages of their personal data protecton journey.
