‘We chose DTA as a partner because of their ability to understand both our GDPR obligations and our technical needs. They helped us in a practical manner that fit our organization’s needs.’ – Victor C. / CEO of Certia
A non-profit cost-sharing entity

All-round assistance with GDPR-related matters
If you are a European entity that processes any amount of personal data you need to ensure compliance with GDPR. This isn’t a one-time job either. Apart from the GDPR, there is new legislation, advice and case law from authorities on a weekly basis. Non-compliance often means hefty fines and sanctions and the road towards (maintaining) compliance is often a bumpy one.
As a small, niche operator that processes a lot of personal data, Certia was looking for a long-term partner to assess GDPR requirements, implement the necessary procedures and help with maintaining a state of compliance.
Engagement
Data Trust Associates determined the needs of Certia, proposed an implementation plan and swiftly executed this plan.
We offer continued support in their day-to-day GDPR requirements (legal, operational and technical). In addition, we regularly update Certia on relevant cases and advice from authorities. Once a year, we assess GDPR readiness using specific audits.
Results
Certia achieved not only implementation of its GDPR requirements but also ensured employees know how to interpret GDPR.
Today, the entire organization knows how to apply GDPR methodologies, procedures, processes and criteria (e.g. data protection by design & by default) in their day-to-day work.
