Data protection consultancy and GDPR compliance services for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions — from compliance programmes and independent privacy audits to impact assessments, governance, documentation and international data flows.
GDPR and UK GDPR are core parts of the practice, alongside other applicable national privacy frameworks. Each engagement separates shared controls from jurisdiction-specific legal requirements.
International businesses rarely operate under one privacy law. The same product may involve an EU entity, UK customers, a Swiss vendor, Singapore operations, Canadian users or UAE infrastructure. The legal obligations can differ on transparency, consent, accountable persons, processing records, individual rights, breach reporting and international transfers.
Our work starts by mapping the legal and operational perimeter: entities, locations, customers, employees, vendors, systems and data flows. We then build a common governance baseline and add the jurisdiction-specific controls required by the applicable regime. This approach can support GDPR and UK GDPR, the Swiss FADP, Singapore PDPA, Canadian privacy requirements, UAE data-protection rules and other relevant frameworks, with local qualified input coordinated where jurisdiction-specific legal advice or reserved legal practice is required.
Privacy compliance is strongest when the legal analysis follows the actual processing environment. We map who collects the data, why it is used, which systems and vendors are involved, where it is accessed, who makes decisions and where data crosses borders.
This matters particularly in fintech, payments, digital assets, SaaS and other regulated sectors, where privacy duties interact with AML/KYC, fraud monitoring, outsourcing, cybersecurity, AI governance and financial-sector record-keeping.
Choose the workstream that matches the immediate problem. Each service can be delivered as a focused project or combined into a broader privacy programme.
Build, implement and remediate the operating privacy programme across the regimes relevant to the business.
Independently test an existing privacy framework and its evidence, then report material findings and remediation priorities.
Assess higher-risk processing using the impact-assessment methodology required by the applicable framework.
Provide independent DPO or privacy-officer oversight where applicable, with governance, monitoring and advice separated from operational ownership.
Create the contractual and documentary evidence layer: agreements, notices, formal records, retention rules and procedures.
Resolve the transfer-specific legal workstream: cross-border flow classification, recognised safeguards, transfer risk and ongoing monitoring.
Where EU GDPR or UK GDPR applies, the engagement is mapped to the relevant territorial scope, entity roles and processing activities before individual compliance controls are designed.
Scope the relevant EU/UK regime, controller and processor roles, lawful processing, transparency, rights, records, governance and evidence of compliance.
Address DPIA requirements, DPO obligations where triggered, privacy-by-design, incident governance and higher-risk processing under the applicable EU or UK framework.
Align processor contracts, data-sharing arrangements and international transfer mechanisms with the EU or UK rules that govern the relevant data flow.
Outside the EU and UK, the same business process may be subject to a different privacy framework. We adapt the workstream to the local legal model rather than re-labelling a GDPR template.
Identify the applicable national or sector-specific privacy rules, responsible roles, required governance and documentation for the relevant entity and processing activity.
Build a common privacy operating baseline while preserving local overlays for consent, notices, rights, governance, records, breach response, vendor controls and transfers.
Coordinate multi-country requirements and, where local professional rules require it, work with appropriately qualified local practitioners or partner firms.
For multi-jurisdiction groups, the objective is not to maintain a different privacy programme for every country. The stronger model is a common operational baseline with documented jurisdiction-specific overlays, ownership and escalation points.
Particularly relevant where identity, financial, behavioural, transaction or other high-volume personal data is central to the operating model.
The same vendor relationship can create different transfer obligations for an EU entity, a UK entity, a Swiss entity or a Singapore entity. We identify the regime governing the outbound flow before selecting safeguards.
Illustrative only. The applicable privacy framework must be determined for the client’s actual entities, processing activities and locations.
Senior practitioner involvement, regulated-sector context, cross-border scoping and quality-controlled deliverables designed around the client’s real processing environment.
