Our Competencies in DSGVO

Choose the area that fits your requirements

GDPR Asset Management

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.

GDPR Banking Sector

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.

GDPR Cloud Computing

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.

GDPR Cross-Border Transfers

The General Data Protection Regulation places complex requirements on international data transfers through adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, and transfer impact assessments for secure cross-border data transmission. Successful cross-border transfer management goes beyond traditional compliance approaches and creates integrated governance systems that smoothly connect international data transfer security, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. 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.

GDPR Data Breach Response

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. We develop tailored breach response frameworks that not only meet regulatory requirements but also enable strategic business continuity, minimise reputational risks and establish lasting competitive advantages through superior incident management governance and data protection excellence.

GDPR Implementation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires systematic and sustainable implementation. We support you in the complete fulfillment of all data protection requirements.

GDPR Insurance Sector

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.

GDPR Ongoing Compliance

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.

GDPR Privacy by Design

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.

GDPR Readiness

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 Vendor Management

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 AI Compliance

What does Article 22 GDPR regulate for AI-based decisions?

Article 22(1) GDPR gives data subjects the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects them. For AI systems this means: scoring models, credit decisions or applicant screening tools that decide without human review are generally prohibited. Exceptions apply only where there is explicit consent, contractual necessity or a legal authorization — and even then organizations must guarantee the right to contest the decision, obtain human intervention and express one's point of view (Article 22(3)).

When is a data protection impact assessment mandatory for AI?

A DPIA under Article

35 GDPR is mandatory whenever AI processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. Supervisory authorities routinely consider this threshold met for AI, especially where there is: profiling and automated decision-making, processing of special categories of personal data, systematic monitoring of public areas, or innovative technology used at scale. Since August 2025, Article

27 of the EU AI Act additionally requires a fundamental rights impact assessment (FRIA) for high-risk AI systems.

How do GDPR and the EU AI Act differ in regulating AI?

The GDPR regulates the protection of personal data in any processing — including by AI. The EU AI Act regulates AI systems themselves based on their risk level: prohibited practices, high-risk systems, limited transparency obligations and minimal risk. Both frameworks apply in parallel and their penalties stack: up to EUR

20 million (GDPR) plus EUR

35 million (AI Act). Organizations must therefore meet both data protection requirements (legal basis, DPIA, data subject rights) and product-safety-oriented AI obligations (risk classification, documentation, human oversight).

What is profiling under GDPR and when is it unlawful for AI?

Profiling under Article 4(4) GDPR covers any automated processing of personal data to evaluate personal aspects — such as work performance, economic situation, health, interests or behavior. With AI systems, profiling occurs when algorithms analyze user behavior, calculate risk scores or make predictions about individuals. It becomes unlawful when the decision is solely automated and produces legal or similarly significant effects (Article 22(1)), when there is no valid consent, or when special categories of data are processed without explicit consent (Article 22(4)).

What transparency obligations apply to AI systems under GDPR?

Articles

13 and

14 GDPR require controllers to inform data subjects about automated decision-making including profiling. Specifically, organizations must provide meaningful information about the logic involved, the significance and the envisaged consequences of the processing. For AI systems this means: clear explanations of which data the model uses, how decisions are reached and what effects can be expected. The EU AI Act adds labelling obligations: users must know they are interacting with an AI system, and deepfakes or AI-generated content require disclosure.
