DATA PROTECTION SERVICES
Privacy by Design Process Implementation
Service Overview
Embedding Privacy by Design and Security into business operations is a fundamental requirement under Article 25 of GDPR. At the time of determining the terms of new processing activities, organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data protection principles are upheld from the outset.
A structured approach to assessing and integrating these measures is essential, ensuring that personal data processing activities are aligned with legal requirements, risk management frameworks, and operational objectives. This includes evaluating how data is collected, used, stored, and shared, while accounting for context-specific regulatory obligations and emerging risks.
By proactively incorporating privacy and security safeguards, organizations can establish a resilient data governance framework that not only meets compliance standards but also strengthens operational integrity and accountability.
Our Approach
Phase 1: Evaluate Existing Governance & Identify Gaps
A comprehensive review of your organization’s data protection governance, assessing compliance, security controls, and legal structure. We identify regulatory gaps, pinpoint weaknesses, and provide a roadmap to strengthen data governance.
Phase 2: Engage Key Stakeholders
Privacy and security require cross-functional alignment. We work with business, legal, IT, security, and procurement teams to define clear privacy and security objectives. If critical functions are missing—such as dedicated security roles—we provide strategic guidance to establish them.
Phase 3: Define Privacy & Security Requirements
Regulatory alignment starts with clarity. We define tailored privacy and security requirements based on your organization’s structure and risk profile. This includes identifying the technical and organizational measures necessary to meet compliance obligations while integrating seamlessly with business operations.
Phase 4: Develop & Implement the Control Framework
A robust control framework ensures long-term compliance. We design a flexible governance structure covering access controls, data minimization, supplier due diligence, data subject rights, secure data disposal, and ongoing monitoring. Once developed, we integrate it into operational processes, ensuring seamless adoption and effectiveness.
Phase 5: Train & Handover
Sustainable governance depends on knowledge transfer. We provide targeted training to key teams, ensuring a clear understanding of compliance responsibilities. As we finalize the project, we ensure a structured handover, equipping your organization with the necessary tools, documentation, and guidance to maintain privacy and security standards independently.
