Their services include acting as a point of contact for supervisory authorities, managing Article 30 records of data processing activity, and serving as a portal for data subject requests. They also offer Data Protection Officer services and GDPR training. Through their affiliation with UK law firm Willans LLP, they can provide broader GDPR compliance advisory services, including audits, policy drafting, and legal advice, ensuring your organization stays on the right side of data protection laws.
