What the solution includes

Both sides of the matter: the paperwork the regulator checks and the technical measures that actually protect the data.

Discuss the timeline

Assessment

What data is processed, where it sits and who has access. This determines the data category and the required protection level.

Threat model

It defines what exactly we are defending against. This document rules out unnecessary security tools and saves a noticeable amount of budget.

The governance document set

Orders, policies, regulations, logs and consent forms. What an inspector asks for first.

Technical measures

Access separation, centrally managed antivirus, logging, channel encryption and security tools matched to your protection level.

Notification to the regulator

Preparing and filing the personal data processing notification, and checking that any already filed is still current.

Staff briefing

Who works with the data and how, what must not leave the company, how clearance is granted. With signatures in the log.

Order of works

Trying to cover everything at once is expensive. The sequence that works goes from the assessment to the documents and only then to buying security tools.

01

What is processed and where

We find every place data is stored: HR records, the client database, video surveillance, the website, cloud services.

02

Protection level

We determine the data category and the protection level. The scope of requirements and the cost of everything else follow from it.

03

Documents

A threat model and the governance document set in ten business days. It covers most of what an inspection raises.

04

Technical measures

We deploy security tools matched to the threat model and brief the staff. After that we keep it all in working order.

A fine is not the main risk. A leaked client database damages your reputation more than any regulatory order, and repairing the relationship with a counterparty who has learned their data leaked costs more than the document set.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The law makes no exceptions for size: if you keep employee records and client contacts, you are a personal data operator with all the obligations. The workload for a small company is smaller, but the same set of documents is required.

For formally passing an inspection, sometimes yes, but that protects you from a fine, not from a breach. We always show which part of the package satisfies the regulator and which actually reduces risk, and let you choose knowingly.

If the inspection is two weeks away or more, then usually yes, the document set and the baseline measures can be done in time. If there is less time, we will say honestly that only part can be covered and set priorities: first what gets asked for first.

It depends on the required protection level and on whether you work with public sector clients. In some cases certification is mandatory, in others any reliable solution will do. This is determined during the assessment, before any purchase.

The set needs maintaining: processes, systems and requirements change. The list of processed data should be reviewed once a year and whenever new systems appear. This can be covered by a support contract.

We will assess your inspection readiness

Tell us what data you process and what has already been done. We will run an assessment and show the gap between where you are and what is required.
