    Personal Data Protection

    We help you look after the security of your personal data and minimise the business risks associated with data leaks.
    Home Services Personal Data Protection / GDPR
    Every company processes personal data. Not all protect these data appropriately.
    Protection gaps and security flaws come with grave repercussions. Safeguarding personal data should be handled with utmost concern by the crew, and they are legally obligated to stringently and meticulously adhere to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and comply with the rules, regulations, and procedures. On the contrary, infringement of the said provisions can contribute to potentially steep and exorbitant financial penalties for the company due to mishandling of data – up to €20 million or 4% of the annual turnover. However, this can undoubtedly be prevented.
    Amid tracking and processing data, realizing the value of data, and relevance of data privacy and protection, long before the GDPR was enacted, we took the initiative and laid down security safeguards and data protection strategies to avoid a data breach. Owing to the combined efforts of our highly qualified team of professionals who are well-versed luminaries in the field of intellectual property law, HR, new technologies, e-commerce, and contract negotiations, we are capable of counseling in all matters relating to personal data protection. Consequently, we neither overlook the legal prerequisites in other areas that impact the successful operation of the project proposed by the Client nor neglect the observance of regulatory compliance of the entire company.
    How do we work?
    The below-mentioned pointers will provide you a snapshot and an outline of the support we offer in the sphere of personal data exclusivity to minimize the risk of personal data breaches and cybersecurity threats occurring within the organization, and they encompass:
