Case Study

Build thorough privacy impact reports. Create GDPR-compliant DPIAs that tackle complex scenarios, using IT, data, security, and organizational solutions to minimize risks effectively.

Challenge

This initiative has been successfully implemented for customers in diverse sectors, including commercial banking, insurance, private wealth banking, and infrastructure.
Our clients in these industries consistently faced one or more of these pressing challenges:

• Complexity in conducting thorough assessments often leads to uncertainty about where to begin
• Insufficient internal GDPR expertise for executing complex DPIAs and managing diverse stakeholders
• Lack of technical and organizational knowledge to apply the subsidiarity principle when necessity and proportionality requirements are not met
• Absence of appropriate templates and procedures to handle specific contexts (e.g., biometric data) and produce high-quality DPIA reports

Roles

This initiative usually involves the following people & roles. They can be found either within your organisation or at a consulting partner.

Internal:

• Data Protection Officer
• Project Manager
• Data, It, and Business Experts

External:

• Senior Data Protection Consultant (Partner)

Impact

1. Compliance: Reduced risks for different use cases, including positive feedback from relevant DP authorities
2. Subsidiarity: Developed alternative solutions achieving the same purpose with reduced risk and avoiding significantly higher costs
3. Trust: Increased organizational confidence to pursue use cases/projects by improving risk transparency and mitigation strategies
4. Efficiency: Streamlined DPIA process for future assessments
5. Adaptability: Established a flexible framework for addressing re-assessments and re-evaluations
