DISCOVERY

Article 30 RoPA & Mapping

Mapping global data flows to create a comprehensive Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), establishing the foundation of your EU privacy posture.

  • Cross-border data flow mapping
  • Lawful basis identification (Article 6)
  • Third-party sub-processor cataloging
  • Data retention timeline establishment
ASSESSMENT

DPIA & Gap Evaluation

Executing Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing activities and identifying core compliance gaps across your architecture.

  • Mandatory DPIA execution (Article 35)
  • Consent architecture evaluation
  • Privacy by Design review (Article 25)
  • Technical safeguard gap analysis
IMPLEMENTATION

Operationalizing Privacy

Implementing user-facing Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR) workflows, updating privacy notices, and deploying required technical controls.

  • Automating DSAR fulfillment workflows
  • SCC / DPA contracting support
  • Cookie consent & cookie banner deployment
  • 72-hour breach response runbooks
The Territorial Challenge

Privacy Beyond Borders

The European extraterritorial approach to data protection means that even if you have no servers or offices in the EU, tracking a French citizen on your website or selling SaaS to a German business puts you directly in the crosshairs of strict GDPR enforcement.

Our GDPR advisory practice translates these heavy legal doctrines into pragmatic privacy engineering. We help you map your data flows, manage vendor risk, and automate subjective rights requests so your legal team rests easy and your engineering team stays productive.

Fines under the GDPR can reach up to €20 million, or 4% of the firm's worldwide annual revenue from the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) are increasingly weaponized by disgruntled users or ex-employees. Failing to respond within 30 days risks severe regulatory scrutiny.
EU regulators are aggressively targeting illegal cross-border data transfers, requiring stringent Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs).

Our Process

End-to-End Compliance Path

A structured advisory model that addresses both legal frameworks and technical realities.

01

Global Applicability Assessment

Determining your status under Article 3 (Territorial Scope) to confirm if you act as a Controller or Processor for EU citizens.

02

Information Inventory Mapping

Conducting stakeholder interviews and automated discovery to document exactly what EU personal data you possess and why.

03

Privacy Framework Design

Drafting the 'paperwork'—Privacy Notices, Data Processing Addendums (DPAs), and internal data handling policies.

04

Technical Remediation

Assisting DevOps and IT in implementing encryption, pseudonyminzation, and identity access controls to enforce data minimization.

05

Operational Execution & DPO

If required, acting as your outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) or EU Representative (Article 27) for ongoing compliance management.
