Our Competencies in DSGVO

Choose the area that fits your requirements

GDPR AI Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation places complex requirements on AI systems through privacy-by-design principles, automated decision-making compliance, transparency obligations and algorithmic accountability for secure AI data processing. Successful GDPR AI compliance management goes beyond traditional data protection approaches and creates integrated AI governance systems that smoothly connect AI innovation, regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. We develop tailored AI compliance frameworks that not only meet regulatory requirements, but also unlock strategic AI business opportunities, minimise risks and establish sustainable competitive advantages through superior AI governance and AI data protection excellence.

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 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 Implementation

What steps does a complete GDPR implementation involve?

A complete GDPR implementation covers seven core steps: gap analysis of current state, creation of records of processing activities under Art.

30 GDPR, definition of technical and organisational measures (TOMs), conducting data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), building a data protection management system (DPMS), employee training, and establishing ongoing audits. ADVISORI supports each phase with experienced data protection consultants.

How long does a GDPR implementation project take?

The duration of a GDPR implementation depends on organisational size and data protection maturity. For small and medium-sized enterprises we typically estimate

8 to

16 weeks, for larger organisations

3 to

6 months. A preliminary gap analysis reveals the actual effort required and enables realistic project planning.

What does professional GDPR consulting cost?

GDPR consulting costs depend on the project scope. An initial gap analysis starts at a few thousand euros, while a full implementation including a data protection management system and training ranges from EUR 15,

000 to EUR 80,

000 depending on organisation size. ADVISORI provides a tailored proposal following a free initial consultation.

What is a data protection management system (DPMS) and why do I need one?

A data protection management system (DPMS) is the organisational foundation for lasting GDPR compliance. It comprises policies, processes, responsibilities, and control mechanisms for handling personal data. A DPMS documents the accountability obligation under Art. 5(2) GDPR and protects against fines during supervisory authority inspections.

What technical and organisational measures (TOMs) does the GDPR require?

Art.

32 GDPR requires appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. These include encryption, pseudonymisation, access controls, regular security testing, backup concepts, and documented recovery procedures. ADVISORI helps select and implement the right TOMs for your risk profile.

When is a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) mandatory?

A DPIA under Art.

35 GDPR is mandatory when data processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. This applies in particular to profiling, systematic monitoring, processing of special categories of data, and the use of new technologies such as AI systems. ADVISORI supports the assessment and implementation.

How do I create a GDPR-compliant record of processing activities?

The record of processing activities under Art.

30 GDPR documents all processing operations involving personal data. It must include the purpose, legal basis, categories of data subjects and data, recipients, erasure deadlines, and TOMs. ADVISORI uses proven templates and tools to build and maintain the register efficiently.

Does my organisation need a data protection officer?

A data protection officer is mandatory under Art.

37 GDPR when the core activities involve large-scale processing of special categories of data, large-scale systematic monitoring, or when required by Member State law. In Germany, the threshold is

20 persons regularly engaged in automated processing. ADVISORI provides an external DPO on request.

What fines can result from inadequate GDPR implementation?

GDPR violations can attract fines of up to EUR

20 million or

4 percent of global annual turnover. Even lesser breaches such as a missing record of processing activities or insufficient TOMs are penalised by supervisory authorities. A professional GDPR implementation significantly reduces this risk.

How does GDPR implementation differ across industries?

Industry-specific requirements supplement general GDPR obligations: financial services must additionally comply with regulatory frameworks such as DORA, healthcare must ensure special protection for health data, and e-commerce businesses must address ePrivacy rules for tracking and cookies. ADVISORI brings sector expertise across all regulated industries.
