General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

GDPR compliance requires a continuous programme embedded in every data-processing activity - not a one-time checklist. We build accountability frameworks

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) covers legal assessment, document preparation and implementation support in Europe. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and organisations operating or transacting in one or more countries. The precise rules, competent authority and procedure depend on the subject matter, jurisdiction and facts, with EU and national law considered together.

Key points

  • Controller and processor roles are determined factually.
  • Each processing activity requires an applicable legal basis.
  • Data minimisation, transparency and security apply continuously.
  • Transfers outside the EEA require a separate assessment.

Jurisdiction and applicable framework

The applicable framework depends on the subject of the service, governing law and countries in which the structure or transaction has effect. EU law and current national legislation are assessed together.

GDPR compliance requires a continuous programme embedded in every data-processing activity - not a one-time checklist. We build accountability frameworks for controllers and processors that cover lawful-basis selection, data-subject rights management, breach response, and cross-border transfer mechanisms.

Enforcement by EU supervisory authorities has intensified, with fines reaching hundreds of millions of euros for systemic failures. We help organisations move beyond paper compliance to operational readiness - where every team handling personal data knows the rules and follows documented procedures.

Our support extends to cookie-consent mechanisms, vendor due diligence, data-protection impact assessments for high-risk processing, and representation before data-protection authorities in complaint and investigation proceedings.

What this includes

  • Records-of-processing & data-flow mapping
  • Privacy-notice & consent-mechanism design
  • Data-processing agreements & vendor management
  • DPIA for high-risk processing activities
  • Data-breach response planning
