Art. 30 GDPR requires asset managers and fund management companies to document all processing activities involving personal data without gaps. A structured data inventory forms the foundation for records of processing activities, retention policies and the implementation of data subject rights. We support financial services firms from initial assessment through the creation of records of processing activities to audit-ready documentation of technical and organisational measures.
The General Data Protection Regulation presents banks and financial service providers with unique challenges due to complex customer data processing, cross-border data transfers, and strict regulatory requirements. Successful GDPR compliance in the banking sector requires more than standardized data protection approaches — it requires specialized banking expertise that smoothly connects data protection law with financial regulation. We develop tailored GDPR banking frameworks that not only ensure legal compliance but also increase operational efficiency, strengthen customer trust, and establish sustainable competitive advantages through superior data protection governance in the financial sector.
The General Data Protection Regulation places complex requirements on cloud computing environments through cross-border data transfer compliance, cloud provider due diligence, data residency requirements and multi-cloud governance structures for secure cloud data processing. Successful GDPR cloud computing management goes beyond traditional data protection approaches and creates integrated cloud governance systems that smoothly connect cloud privacy, vendor management and operational efficiency. We develop tailored cloud compliance frameworks that not only meet regulatory requirements but also unlock strategic cloud business opportunities, minimise risks and establish sustainable competitive advantages through superior cloud governance and cloud data protection excellence.

We develop tailored transfer frameworks that not only meet regulatory requirements but also enable strategic international business opportunities, minimize risks, and establish sustainable competitive advantages through superior cross-border governance and international data protection excellence.
The General Data Protection Regulation places complex demands on data breach response management through time-critical notification compliance, comprehensive data subject rights fulfilment, regulatory authority communication and systematic post-breach recovery processes for sustainable data protection governance. Successful GDPR breach response management goes beyond traditional incident response approaches and creates integrated governance systems that smoothly connect breach prevention, rapid response and stakeholder communication.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires systematic and sustainable implementation. We support you in the complete fulfillment of all data protection requirements.
Insurance companies process particularly sensitive personal data — from health data and creditworthiness information to risk profiles. The GDPR therefore imposes stringent requirements on the insurance sector: legal bases under Art. 6 and Art. 9, consent management, data protection impact assessments for scoring and profiling, and deletion concepts that account for insurance-specific retention obligations. We advise insurers on the practical implementation of all GDPR obligations — legally compliant, efficient and aligned with industry-specific regulations such as codes of conduct under Art. 40 GDPR and national insurance supervision requirements.
Ensure continuous compliance with GDPR requirements through our comprehensive ongoing compliance approach. We establish data protection governance structures, automated monitoring mechanisms, and proactive adaptation processes that guarantee lasting compliance and sustainably minimize data protection risks.
The General Data Protection Regulation places complex demands on Privacy-by-Design implementation through proactive privacy protection, privacy-as-default settings, privacy-embedded design, and full-functionality privacy balance for sustainable data protection governance. Successful GDPR Privacy-by-Design management goes beyond traditional compliance approaches and creates integrated privacy systems that smoothly connect privacy engineering, data minimization, and user privacy rights. We develop tailored Privacy-by-Design frameworks that not only meet regulatory requirements but also enable strategic business innovation, minimize privacy risks, and establish sustainable competitive advantages through superior privacy governance and data protection excellence.
A professional GDPR readiness assessment reveals where your organisation stands on data protection. We evaluate your current maturity level, uncover compliance gaps, and develop a prioritised roadmap to full GDPR conformity.
GDPR Article 28 requires controllers to engage only processors that provide sufficient guarantees for appropriate technical and organisational measures. A legally sound data processing agreement (DPA) governs the subject matter, duration, purpose and security measures of data processing. ADVISORI supports you in selecting and assessing processors, drafting your DPA and establishing ongoing monitoring – practical, legally compliant and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions about GDPR
What is the GDPR?
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, EU 2016/679) has been binding across the EU since May 2018. It governs the protection of personal data and applies to all organisations that process data of EU residents, regardless of where the organisation is based. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
Who needs a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?
Under Article 37 GDPR, a Data Protection Officer is mandatory when at least 20 employees regularly process personal data, when large-scale processing of special category data occurs such as health data, or when systematic monitoring of individuals takes place. Public authorities must always appoint a DPO. The DPO can be an internal employee or an external service provider and must be formally registered with the supervisory authority.
What are GDPR fines and penalties?
The GDPR provides for two tiers of fines: up to EUR 10 million or 2% of global annual turnover for infringements of organisational obligations such as a missing Record of Processing Activities. Up to EUR 20 million or 4% of global turnover for serious violations of data protection principles, data subject rights, or international transfers. European supervisory authorities issued over EUR 2 billion in GDPR fines between 2018 and 2024.
What is a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?
A Data Protection Impact Assessment under Article 35 GDPR is mandatory when processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, for example profiling, health data processing, or systematic CCTV monitoring. The DPIA assesses risks, identifies safeguards, and documents whether the processing is justified. Failure to conduct a mandatory DPIA can result in fines of up to EUR 10 million.
What are the main GDPR requirements for organisations?
Key GDPR requirements include: a lawful basis for all data processing such as consent, contract, or legitimate interest; a Record of Processing Activities under Article 30; Technical and Organisational Measures to ensure data security; data subject rights covering access, erasure, rectification, and portability; data breach notification within 72 hours to supervisory authorities under Article 33; and Privacy by Design and by Default principles embedded in all new systems and processes.
How does GDPR relate to NIS2 and ePrivacy?
GDPR, NIS2, and ePrivacy form an interconnected European data protection framework. GDPR governs personal data protection and data subject rights. NIS2 mandates cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure operators, including incident reporting within 24 hours. When a security breach also involves personal data, organisations must comply with both GDPR's 72-hour breach notification under Article 33 and NIS2 reporting requirements simultaneously. ADVISORI provides integrated compliance advice across all three regulations.
What is the GDPR right to be forgotten?
The right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR entitles individuals to request deletion of their personal data when it is no longer necessary for the original purpose, consent is withdrawn, or the data has been unlawfully processed. Organisations must respond within 30 days. Exceptions apply when data is required for legal claims or public interest purposes. Technical implementation requires deletion workflows across all systems, databases, and backup copies.
