Privacy & Data Protection Compliance
Privacy compliance strategies that reduce risk and mitigate threats
Embed privacy principles into the fabric of your business
Data privacy is more than a matter of compliance – it’s the bedrock of stakeholder trust.
From regulators and consumers to society at large, scrutiny of privacy and data protection practices continues to grow in the wake of data breaches, disinformation campaigns and information misuse. Privacy and data protection must be an integral part of every company’s operating model, monitored and measured for compliance, with clear lines of responsibility and authority.
BDO can help assess the health of your organization’s privacy and data protection behaviors and develop holistic strategies to maintain effective operations that meet regulatory obligations. Using our deep experience with regulators around the world and a team of in-country professionals allows us to work with you to design a comprehensive privacy program that protects your business.
Bringing together privacy engineers, technologists, legal professionals, and privacy and security practitioners, we take a balanced approach that drives compliance without stifling innovation. The global privacy and data protection team is experienced testifying experts that are able to provide expert reports, privacy and security monitorship services, and independent assessments.
