Case Study · Data protection
Global data protection requirements harmonised in a legally sound way
An internationally active US company unifies data protection standards in Europe and strengthens cross-border legal certainty.

- Automotive supply
- Client
- Internationally active group
The situation
Differing data protection laws and regulatory requirements in Europe and the United States increased complexity. Alignment absorbed considerable capacity in the legal department and Group Privacy Office.
Our approach
We ran an EMEA-wide data protection compliance project, supported the consistent implementation of the relevant requirements and took on the role of external data protection officer. A digital platform brought duties and evidence together; data protection lawyers classified country-specific questions.
The result
Harmonised standards
Uniform requirements create reliable cross-border processes.
Greater legal certainty
Data protection requirements are implemented consistently in European markets.
Resources relieved
The legal department and Privacy Office receive operational and specialist support.
