Advisory and consultations services are tailored to help professionals and subject matter experts to make sure their projects are in compliance with data protection requirements.
How do we engage our clients? As a principle, clients have access to consultations in their own environments, whether it be Teams, Slack or other solutions.
Why to use external services? While not suitable in all cases, as an external service provider we have more in-depth knowledge of data protection and how to implement actions necessary to satisfy client´s risk appetite. Usually, clients choose us as an external consultant because:
- Data protection related input is necessary in a fixed timeframe
- Using the service when needed will allow flexibility for project and budget management
- Direct access for the whole team, eliminating any middle men for communications
Check the comparison of inhouse vs external advisor here. Fair to note that we do not usually replace the internal advisory or lawyer and in best use cases we work together, combining our strengths and reaching the target seamlessly. Read common consultation topics below and reach out us.
