With over seven years of experience leading the in-house compliance work at Vattenfall’s Corporate HR throughout Europe (Data Protection, Security, Risk, Business Continuity), I am happy to announce this new project to share my experience, ideas, and passion for data protection and security with you through ART25 Consulting.

ART25 is derived from Article 25 of GDPR on Data protection by design and by default which among other key concepts of GDPR application, mainly emphasizes the requirement of integrating data protection principles in business and IT processes, to become a natural part of the day-to-day work in organizations; the default.

At the Nordic Privacy Arena in 2019, Article 25 was referred to as the ‘‘super hero article’’ because of its holistic approach to working with data protection and information security.

From my perspective, an organization can only be considered mature when it comes to GDPR application, if Article 25 is implemented in a comprehensive manner through all organizational levels (strategic, tactical and operational).

ART25 Consulting can simplify the compliance in your organization with compliance tools, clear processes, policies and governance structures, solid supplier contracts, high level of organizational awareness, and streamlining lessons learned and best practices.  

The vision is to mend the bridges between business and compliance with close partnership, clear governance, effective risk mitigation and proactive alignment.
