Frequently asked questions

Can we engage the service without seeking certification?

The service can focus on improving actual personal data flows and protective measures. We establish the scope from your operations and improvement needs, whether or not certification is planned.

Can the review focus on particular operations or systems?

We establish the scope by reviewing personal data processing activities, systems and departmental responsibilities. Connected flows of collection, use, outsourced processing, storage and deletion are also considered.

Can you review whether our written policies work in practice?

Staff interviews and reviews of relevant materials help identify differences between documented rules and actual personal data processing. We use the findings to develop improvement priorities.

The scope of work and deliverables are determined by the target environment and the agreed engagement.
