Transforming compliance into informed data governance
The protection of personal data requires a governance system capable of integrating corporate organisation, technological processes, contractual relationships and risk management. Effective compliance goes beyond the formal preparation of documents; it must reflect the actual ways in which data is collected, used, shared, stored and protected.
LGV assists clients in establishing and updating their data protection systems. We carry out audits aimed at mapping data flows, identifying roles and responsibilities, verifying data processing activities and assessing risks to data subjects and the organisation.
We prepare and update the documentation required for privacy management, including privacy notices, registers, policies, internal procedures, risk assessments and agreements governing relationships between data controllers, data processors, suppliers and business partners. We also assist clients in assessing new products, services and technology projects, ensuring that data protection is integrated right from the design stage.
We have particular expertise in data processing carried out in the context of digital services, platforms, software, databases, cloud-based systems, outsourcing contracts and artificial intelligence solutions. In these contexts, we support both suppliers and users in correctly defining roles, instructions, security measures and responsibilities relating to data processing.
Finally, we assist companies in managing personal data breaches, from the initial analysis of the incident through to risk assessment, and including any notifications to the authorities and communications to data subjects. We provide assistance in dealings with the Data Protection Authority, in audits and administrative proceedings, as well as in disputes and claims for compensation relating to unlawful processing or the loss, theft or disclosure of data.
