GDPR compliance services and data protection consultancy for regulated and internationally operating businesses — covering GDPR, UK GDPR and other applicable privacy and data-protection regimes.
Practical GDPR consulting and one operating privacy programme, with regime-specific controls where local law differs — designed around your entities, data flows, products, vendors and regulatory exposure.
Cross-border businesses need a programme that can absorb different legal regimes without creating a separate, disconnected privacy system for every country. We establish the common governance baseline first, then map the local requirements that change by entity, product or jurisdiction.
Depending on scope, this can include EU GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss FADP, Singapore PDPA, Canadian private-sector privacy requirements, UAE data-protection rules and other applicable frameworks. The exact legal perimeter is assessed before implementation, with local qualified input coordinated where necessary.
Policies are only one layer. A credible programme must also show who owns decisions, how data is mapped, how vendors are governed, how individuals exercise rights, how incidents are escalated, how high-risk changes are assessed and how evidence is maintained.
These workstreams focus on establishing or improving the operating privacy programme. For an independent assessment of an existing framework, see GDPR Audit & Independent Privacy Review.
Determine which privacy and data-protection regimes apply, how entities and roles are classified, and what the operating privacy programme needs to cover.
Define ownership, escalation, oversight and evidence so privacy obligations operate as part of day-to-day governance.
Document the permitted grounds, purposes and restrictions that apply to collection, use and disclosure under the relevant regime.
Create the operational baseline needed to understand what personal data is processed, by whom, where, for what purpose and through which systems and vendors. Formal statutory records and registers can then be documented under the Privacy Documentation workstream where required.
Prepare customer, employee and product-facing privacy information and consent or preference mechanisms where the applicable law requires them.
Translate legal, regulatory and business retention needs into defensible schedules and operational deletion rules.
Design the process for access, correction, deletion, objection, portability or other individual rights applicable to the relevant regime.
Design the governance and escalation model used when a privacy incident occurs — before an incident happens. The focus is readiness, decision ownership and jurisdiction-specific assessment logic; detailed playbooks and notification templates sit within the Privacy Documentation workstream.
Build the governance framework for third parties that handle personal data: due diligence, onboarding, ownership, periodic review and change control. Contract drafting sits within Privacy Documentation; international transfer exposure sits within International Data Transfers.
Address cookies, trackers, marketing privacy and recurring compliance needs where they fall within the applicable privacy or ePrivacy framework.
For organisations within the scope of EU GDPR or UK GDPR, the compliance programme is built around the relevant accountability, transparency, rights, governance and risk requirements — with EU and UK rules treated separately where they diverge.
Applicability, lawful processing, transparency, data mapping, records, retention, rights handling, incident readiness and documented accountability.
DPO analysis where relevant, privacy-by-design, DPIA governance, new-product review, vendor oversight and escalation of higher-risk processing.
Keep EU and UK transfer tools, regulator expectations and local implementation differences distinct instead of assuming one combined GDPR operating model.
For non-EU/UK projects, the programme is mapped to the law that actually governs the entity and processing. The scope may cover national privacy statutes, sector rules and cross-border obligations with different terminology and control requirements.
Determine which privacy law applies, which organisation or role is accountable and what mandatory controls, notices, rights, records or governance are required.
Adapt consent, notification, retention, access/correction, complaints, vendor management, breach and transfer controls to the applicable local framework.
Harmonise common group controls and create jurisdiction-specific overlays so local differences are visible, owned and maintainable.
Where several privacy regimes apply to the same product or group, we map the common denominator first and then document the requirements that must remain jurisdiction-specific. This reduces duplicated compliance work without hiding legal differences.
The sequence is designed to avoid drafting documents before the applicable legal and operational perimeter is understood.
Entities, jurisdictions, individuals, products, vendors and data flows.
Identify the existing controls that can be retained, the gaps that need remediation and the dependencies that affect implementation.
Prioritise gaps and implement the controls required by the applicable regimes.
Create review cycles, ownership and evidence so the programme remains operational.
Privacy programmes are developed around the applicable legal framework and the way the business actually operates, with senior practitioner involvement and structured quality review.
