Our Clients Say: They truly delve into clients’ needs | Data Protection

26.11.2024LEADELL

After the recent implementation of the Personal Data Protection System (GDPR) and staff training, we contacted our client – representatives of the leading strategic communications agency VA COMMUNICATIONS and full-service government relations and public affairs firm VA GOVERNMENT. We asked them to describe their experience during the system development process and inquired about how well the personal data protection tools have integrated into their daily work.

“The law firm’s team has helped us not only to better understand the theory of personal data protection requirements but has also provided practical advice and support on the path to implementing data protection policy in our daily operations. They truly delve into their clients’ needs and pay special attention to those nuances that are most relevant to the client’s field of business activity,” share the representatives of VA Communications and VA Government.

LEADELL Vītols managing partner Kārlis Vītols comments: “The implementation of personal data protection requirements often seems like a complex process that requires deep understanding and practical solutions. Our experience shows that successful implementation of a data protection system is based on three main elements:

  • Individual approach to company specifics and needs
  • Practical support during the implementation process
  • Employee education and involvement

We offer effective solutions for each company:

  • Data processing audit
  • Development of necessary documents and components
  • Practical employee training
  • Regular support for daily issues
  • Additional services for effective system sustainability and maintenance

Our goal is to make the implementation of Personal Data Protection requirements understandable and practically feasible for every company. We understand that data protection requirements may seem complicated, which is why we are ready to provide the necessary support at every step.”

What to do if questions arise?

If your company needs help implementing GDPR requirements, we are ready to share our experience and knowledge to jointly create an effective data protection system.
