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.

We establish data protection governance structures, automated monitoring mechanisms, and proactive adaptation processes that guarantee lasting compliance and sustainably minimize data protection risks.
