Every single business - from a sole trader to a multinational corporation - depends on personal and non-personal data and reliable and secure ICT infrastructure. The unstoppable flow of new developments in this area, as well as the increasing frequency of security incidents, has resulted in an ever-changing legislative framework that often makes it difficult for businesses to see the wood for the trees.
The GDPR and the NIS Directive are two examples of major changes in the applicable data protection and cyber security rules to which organisations were required to adapt. With its European Data Strategy, the European Commission is maintaining its current drive to prepare for the adoption of legislative measures impacting businesses in the EU and worldwide.
Today, the vital importance of data and data protection for the economy and society is undisputed. To make the most of these opportunities, & DE BANDT can assist your organisation with all the steps required to make your business fully compliant, including reviewing and mapping your internal data processes, reviewing and drafting privacy and information security policies, drafting the necessary contractual framework (including data processor agreements, joint-controller agreements, etc.), ensuring compliance of your international data transfers, managing data breaches and security incidents, etc.
We also represent our clients in their interactions with national data protection authorities and in court proceedings against competitors, consumer organisations and/or data subjects relating to data protection compliance.
