Services
To complement ROBUS, our BDO Offices globally also provide a scalable approach to Managed Data Protection Services. According to the UN, 66% of countries have privacy legislation in place and a further 10% have draft legislation so complying with the Data Privacy legislation is becoming an obligation of all organisations, regardless of size, sector or jurisdiction.
Non-compliance has consequences ranging from fines to diminished reputation and share price, loss of customer trust and lawsuits. Today, building and implementing a holistic and effective data protection strategy is a necessity to offset risk, build customer trust and avoid major negative impact on your business.
There has never been a more crucial time to understand the data you process and where it is located. It is imperative for organisations to develop and maintain their data protection and privacy compliance programmes. While most organisations recognise the importance of data privacy compliance, they struggle with limited staff, inefficient business processes, fragmented ownership of privacy and the reality of “eleventh hour” privacy operations.
