Data Protection

Well-advised, both technically and legally

Whenever personal data is processed within an organisation, special protection is needed: this is why the European Union Data Protection Directive has put a set of data protection guidelines in place. Transposed into national laws, these guidelines have become binding regulations. Technical and organisational requirements may be implemented using relevant IT security controls as defined within the ISO 27000 series of standards or other security frameworks. What is more, however, additional data protection requirements, such as contract design and specific documentation regulations, must be observed for companies to be legally compliant.

We make sure you are well-advised, both from a technical and a legal point of view: with comprehensive data protection services offered by our certified auditors in cooperation with experienced legal experts.
