GDPR Compliance Program
Data security and privacy risks are becoming more prominent for any organization today. We engage our experienced data privacy consultants to design and implement the organizational, technical and functional changes required to comply with the Regulation, with the minimum disruption to your organization, efficiently and cost-effectively.
We essentially introduce a Governance Program for protecting personal data holistically, designed to approach GDPR requirements. We map the current situation (Discovery) of the Organisation’s data processing status using GDPR-approved tools such as the Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), and we identify the organizational and functional areas that need to be improved. We then design a custom-made Compliance program which may contain the introduction of procedures and policies, as well the identification of specific actions required for GDPR compliance. Our GDPR Compliance engagement may include:
• Mapping of the existing GDPR status
• Preparation of the Record of Processing Activities
• Identification of legal basis of all processing activities
• Identification of gaps
• Preparation of Policies and Procedures
• Preparation of the Organisation's Privacy Statement
• Preparation and amendments of contracts and agreements
• Preparation and/or amendments of consent statements
• Key staff awareness and trainings

Data Privacy Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
We undertake the execution of Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA) for your Organisation. The DPIA helps the organization to identify and minimize risks relating to the processing of personal data. Article 35 of the GDPR requires organisations to carry out a DPIA when data processing(s) is likely to result in a high risk to data subjects. This essentially applies if your organization plans to:
Process special category of personal data such as sensitive and/or criminal offense data on a large scale
Use systematic and extensive profiling
Systematically monitor publicly accessible places on a large scale.
Process special category of personal data such as sensitive and/or criminal offense data on a large scale
Use systematic and extensive profiling
Systematically monitor publicly accessible places on a large scale.
Methodology
DataKnights uses a proven methodology to approach the subject matter. The DPIA report details the data protection risks identified and prioritizes mitigation actions according to severity, including a statement of the likely impact on the rights of individuals should those risks occur, and recommends appropriate controls to mitigate the risks and reduce them to an acceptable level.
