Smart security

Practically every company in the world processes personal data.

Particular challenges in this area are faced by companies operating in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications and IT industries, to which we address our services.

We have legal competence

We combine legal competence with the knowledge of technical standards and business realities.

We are a team of competent legal advisors preparing organizations from the TMT/IT industry to GDPR, at every stage of their operations, regardless of their country of origin.

Our scope of work

We advise our clients on team-level, always suggesting specific solutions.

Far from merely duplicating standard solutions, we provide tailored services considering industry-specific pitfalls and risks.

We help to verify if GDPR applies to your business and, if yes, we help you to achieve compliance. Depending on your needs and situation, we focus on specified services you provide, on your locations / subsidiaries, or on your entire business.

What we do:
– check, to what extend you need to implement GDPR in your business (this may include an audit);
– design simple and specifically cut-out GDPR solutions for your business;
– help to implement all necessary procedures and changes in your operations (if needed);
– explain how to document compliance in order to be ready for any external audits.

To help you understand what personal data you process and if you do it correctly, we carry out comprehensive audits. This includes meeting with your staff, asking a dozen of questions and getting really good understanding of your business needs. Do not be afraid – we focus on doing it in a way that does not require too much effort on your side, and we have a risk-based approach. In the end you will receive a report (excel sheet), where we show you all the gaps and suggest solutions that fit your business.

We may help you check, if in particular:
– GDPR solutions in your company are up-to-date with current GDPR requirements;
– procedures and documents related to GDPR in your company are adequate to the actual personal data processing;
– your employees are aware of how to behave when encountering personal data at work;
– any GDPR measures implemented in your company can be simplified or adjusted to the way you carry out your business.

Coordinating the implementation of GDPR within a capital group (also globally) or as a part of a project collaboration between individual departments in your company.

We will advise how to:
– harmonise the execution of GDPR compliance regarding all entities in a group;
– synchronise GDPR solutions between all departments in your company;
– adjust appropriate GDPR measures between your company and your clients, contractors and business partners;
– optimise personal data transfer compliant with GDPR between your company and your clients, contractors and business partners.

– settle terms of your every-day cooperation involving personal data with any other company;
– define the rules you play by during any dispute;
– resolve a dispute in a way that is satisfactory for both sides.

Some processing activities you may want to conduct require extra safeguards. With them we help you conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

Effective application of safety measures while processing personal data may require some changes in behaviour of your employees – often as minor as logging out of computer system or programme when leaving their desk.

To ensure your professional and effective approach to exercising individuals’ rights concerning their personal data, we will help you:
