Data Protection Law| Cybersecurity

We advise and support companies of all sectors and sizes in the development, implementation, and maintenance of holistic data protection compliance.

With the practical and interdisciplinary knowledge gained from countless complex national and international GDPR projects as well as local and cross-border cooperation with Deloitte’s IT, cyber security, and process consulting experts, we can provide our clients with comprehensive support on all aspects of data protection.

The focus of our work is on carrying out implementation and audit projects, acting as external data protection officers, preparing all data protection documentation, ensuring operational data protection, advising on international data transfers, and developing deletion concepts.

We also advise companies intensively in connection with cyber incidents. The focus here is on communication plans, reporting to the relevant authorities, cyberincident management and cyberincident response plans as well as data protection evaluations. Our work is carried out in close coordination with Deloitte’s Cyber Risk and Forensic teams.

Our Data Protection Team consists of experienced experts who offer our clients best-practice advice based on their sound legal know-how and extensive practical experience.
