How long does it take to achieve GDPR compliance?

The timeline depends on your organization's size and current state. For most mid-size organizations, a GDPR compliance program can be implemented in 3-6 months. We start with a 48-hour gap assessment to identify priorities and deliver an actionable 90-day roadmap.

Does my organization need to comply with NIS2?

NIS2 applies to essential and important entities in sectors such as energy, transport, healthcare, finance, digital infrastructure, and manufacturing. Organizations with 50+ employees or over EUR 10M turnover in covered sectors are typically in scope. We offer a free NIS2 applicability check.

What does a compliance consultation include?

Our free 30-minute initial consultation covers: assessing your current compliance state, identifying the regulations that apply to your organization, outlining 90-day priorities, and providing a high-level roadmap. There is no obligation to proceed after the consultation.

Do you provide outsourced DPO services?

Yes. We offer outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services as required by GDPR Article 37. Our DPO service includes regulatory monitoring, data subject request handling, DPIA oversight, staff training, and serving as the contact point for supervisory authorities.

Which industries do you serve?

We work with organizations across healthcare, financial services, technology and AI, energy, telecommunications, retail, transport, and manufacturing. Our consultants hold industry-specific certifications including CIPP/E, CIPM, and CISM.
