Privacy Strategy

Turn Data Compliance into Your
Competitive Advantage

In a data-driven world, privacy isn't just about following the law—it is the foundation of customer trust. Navigating the complexities of GDPR and LPDP can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to slow you down. We provide expert Data Protection Officer services that secure your organization, protect your reputation, and allow you to focus on growth while we handle the regulations.

Why Is a DPO Essential?

A Data Protection Officer is more than a legal requirement; they are the guardian of your organization's data strategy. While many companies are legally mandated to appoint a DPO (especially when processing sensitive data at scale), the benefits extend far beyond compliance:

🛡️

Mitigate Risk

Identify vulnerabilities before they become liabilities.

🤝

Build Trust

Demonstrate to your clients that their data is safe in your hands.

⚖️

Avoid Penalties

Navigate the complex landscape of fines and legal requirements with confidence.

Our Core Services

We offer a flexible suite of services designed to fit your specific operational needs.

🛡️

External DPO (DPO as a Service)

Why hire a full-time executive when you can have an entire team of experts? We assume the formal legal role of your DPO. We act as your independent advisor, ensuring you meet all regulatory obligations without the overhead of internal staffing.

🎓

Employee Training & Culture

Your security is only as strong as your team. We don't do boring lectures; we provide tailored, engaging workshops that help your staff understand why data protection matters and how to implement it in their daily workflow.

🏛️

Liaison with Authorities

Dealing with regulatory bodies requires specific legal language and protocol. We act as your primary contact point for Data Protection Authorities, managing all communication, requests, and reporting obligations—including crisis management during data breaches.

🔍

Compliance Audits & Monitoring

Compliance isn't a one-time project; it's a process. We perform continuous monitoring and regular audits of your processing activities to ensure you remain compliant as laws—and your business—evolve.

Our Approach: The "Business Enabler" Mindset

"We don't just check boxes. We integrate into your culture to ensure data protection is business-enabling, not blocking."

Many consultants see data protection as a list of restrictions. We see it differently.

We understand that you have a business to run. Our methodology is pragmatic and operational. We look for the "Yes, and..." solution—finding ways to achieve your business goals while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security.

    return "Execute";
  } else {
    return findCompliantAlternative(businessGoal);

Record of Processing Activities (ROPA)

Do you have a documented registry of all personal data you process, why you process it, and who sees it? (Art. 30 GDPR)

Privacy Policy Visibility

Is your Privacy Policy up-to-date, easy to read, and easily accessible on your website and contracts?

Data Subject Rights Protocol

Do you have a clear internal procedure for handling requests (e.g., if a customer asks to delete their data or requests a copy of it) within 30 days?

Vendor Agreements (DPAs)

Have you signed Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all external vendors who handle your data (e.g., cloud providers, payroll services, marketing agencies)?

Data Breach Response Plan

Do you have a step-by-step plan to detect, investigate, and report a data breach to the authorities within 72 hours?

Consent Management

If you rely on consent (e.g., for newsletters or cookies), can you prove exactly when and how that consent was given? Is it as easy to withdraw as it was to give?

Employee Training

Has your staff received training on data protection in the last 12 months? Do they know how to recognize a phishing attempt or a data breach?

Data Minimization

Are you only collecting data that you strictly need? (e.g., Are you asking for a date of birth when you don't actually need it?)

Security Measures

Do you have technical safeguards in place (encryption, 2-factor authentication, regular backups) to protect the data?

Data Retention Policy

Do you have a system to automatically delete or anonymize data that you no longer need?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know if my company legally requires a DPO? +

Under GDPR and local laws (LPDP), a DPO is mandatory if you are a public authority, if your core activities involves large-scale monitoring of individuals, or if you process large categories of sensitive data. However, even if not mandatory, appointing a DPO is a best practice.

Can we just appoint our IT Manager or CEO as the DPO? +

This is a common mistake. The law requires the DPO to be independent and free from a "conflict of interest." Since IT Managers determine how data is processed and CEOs determine why, they usually cannot hold the DPO role. Hiring an External DPO solves this conflict instantly.

Will hiring a DPO slow down our business processes? +

Not with us. Our philosophy is "Compliance as a Business Enabler." We don't just say "no"; we work with your team to find compliant ways to execute your ideas. We aim to streamline your data handling, not create bottlenecks.

What is the difference between an Internal and External DPO? +

An Internal DPO is an employee on your payroll, which adds fixed costs and requires constant training. An External DPO (our service) is a flexible, cost-effective solution where you get access to a team of experts for a fraction of the cost.

What happens if we experience a data breach? +

Speed is critical. In the event of a breach, we guide you through the immediate steps to contain the issue. We handle the mandatory reporting to the Data Protection Authorities within the required 72-hour window and communicate with affected individuals.

Do you support companies outside of the EU? +

Yes. If you offer goods or services to EU citizens or monitor their behavior, you are subject to GDPR regardless of your location. We help non-EU companies understand and meet these extraterritorial obligations.
