Ensure a robust data compliance strategy with our data protection lawyers

Building and evolving a data protection compliance framework shows a business’ commitment to the protection of personal data which will benefit all your stakeholders in the long run.

When you engage one of our data protection lawyers to assist you in carrying out DPO obligations for your business, you get specialist legal advice and practical guidance where you need it most so you can have peace of mind around your data protection compliance.

Whilst our advice and expertise doesn’t reduce your legal obligations as a business under data protection legislation, we can significantly reduce the amount of staff resources you need to devote to data protection issues across your business. For example, we can assist with:

Assessing whether you should appoint a DPO

Remember, the obligation to have a DPO in place depends on the type of data you process not necessarily on the size of your business.

Carrying out data protection audits

To reduce the possibility of sanctions and demonstrate to the ICO that your business is GDPR compliant.

Ensuring your business follows ICO guidance

As well as, best practice recommendations relating to data retention policies.

Informing and advising your employees on their data protection obligations

Carrying out data protection impact assessments

ahead of large scale projects or when your business processes high risk or sensitive information.

Providing advice and support in relation to data breaches

and assisting with any subsequent investigations.

Providing bespoke staff training on the key data protection issues that apply to your business

Our training helps foster increased staff awareness of data protection issues and helps staff handle those issues as they arise, including consent queries and subject access requests.

Assessing your cross-border transfers and ensuring you have the correct safeguard in place

Increasingly businesses are operating on a global scale whether it is a Start-up or a MNC. Having your data centres outside the Middle East and Europe or your service providers outside the Middle East and Europe is “norm” and with it there are cross-border data protection implications.

Supporting you with managing data subject access requests
