Navigating global privacy regulations requires a thorough understanding of the regulations and interpreting their provisions correctly as they apply to your organisation.

The challenges of understanding and interpreting the law, mapping data inventories, managing consent, and handling data subject rights can be overwhelming. Not to mention the constant need to maintain robust data security measures and stay updated with evolving guidelines.

Data flow mapping and inventory
Leadership and training for operational teams
Consent management
Data subject rights
Data security and breach notification
Vendor management and data transfers
Evolving regulatory landscape

Our comprehensive solution tackles these pain points head-on, providing you with the tools and expertise to achieve data protection compliance effortlessly.

Benefits of RightCue’s data protection and data privacy services

Having access to a data privacy expert can offer your organisation numerous benefits, including reassurance that you’re meeting legal compliance requirements.

Here are some reasons why working with our data privacy consultants can be so valuable:

Compliance assurance

Privacy compliance is a complex and evolving process. Our data protection consultants are professionally qualified and have several years of experience of working with UK and global organisations.

We have a wealth of experience in collaborating with sectors that handle large amounts of data, including marketing, pharmaceuticals, charities, and legal. We can provide pragmatic guidance on how to achieve and maintain compliance, reducing the risk of costly penalties.

Risk management

Data breaches and non-compliance can lead to financial losses, reputational damage and legal fines and penalties. We can help you proactively identify and manage risks by implementing appropriate safeguards, conducting risk assessments, and developing robust data protection strategies.

In the event of a breach, we support you in effectively managing the situation to demonstrate your commitment to the regulators and data subjects. This can result in reduced penalties and increased trust.

Efficient processes

Privacy compliance requires the implementation of policies, procedures, and technical measures.

We can streamline these processes, helping you establish efficient data management practices, automate consent mechanisms, handle data subject requests effectively, and implement appropriate security measures, saving you time and resources and allow your employees to focus on their primary responsibilities.

Stay up to date

Privacy regulations are continuously evolving, and new guidance and best practices emerge regularly. We stay updated with the latest developments and ensure that your business remains compliant with any changes.

We provide your people with insights, training, and support to adapt your processes, accordingly, reducing the risk of non-compliance.

Data subject trust

Demonstrating a commitment to data protection and privacy can enhance trust and loyalty to your business.

We can assist in developing transparent privacy policies, clear consent mechanisms, and effective communication strategies to foster trust with your customers and external stakeholders.

Vendor management

If your business works with third-party vendors or engages in international data transfers, we help assess their compliance, review contracts to ensure appropriate data protection measures are in place.

This ensures compliance across your entire ecosystem and minimises the risk of data breaches or non-compliance caused by third-party relationships.

Proactive approach

Rather than just reacting to compliance issues, we help you adopt a proactive approach to data protection.

They can conduct regular audits, monitor your data processing activities, and provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure continued compliance and minimise potential risks.

RightCue’s approach to achieving data protection and regulatory compliance

We conduct a Privacy Gap Assessment using current rules, regulations and regulatory authority guidance. Our risk-based approach includes vital security aspects such as incident response, staff competence and training, planning and operations.

The gap assessment includes a tabletop review of your existing data protection policies, privacy notice, process documentation and any previous risk assessments, followed by further conversations with the operational teams to understand your business processes better.

Existing practices and controls are mapped to your industry-specific privacy requirements, and the assessment covers Cyber Security, Information Governance, and Data Privacy regulations applicable to your organisation. We consider the geographical location of the data subject, your role in processing the data and the requirements of consent management.

This exercise gives you a complete overview of your current compliance posture and a well-defined plan to achieve compliance and desired maturity.

“It says a lot about a supplier that you relax as soon as you hear their voice. And that’s exactly what I do when I hear from RightCue. The team are knowledgeable, highly skilled and incredibly good at using stories to demonstrate the importance of cyber security. That skill has ensured the board appreciate the impact of GDPR and IT security and have appointed a DPO, as well as giving security their full support. I am confident that RightCue would be a good choice if I needed to do this exercise again – I totally trust them.”

Virtual DPO services and GDPR expert support

RightCue can provide general GDPR support and advice and, if required, a Virtual Data Protection Officer. We conduct a gap assessment and provide feedback on the areas that require remediation.

Our experienced data protection consultants can assist with creating privacy policies and procedures, map data inventories, manage consent, and handle data subject rights.

Virtual Data Protection Officer

The role of the Data Protection Officer in an organisation carries significant accountability. While appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) may not be a formal requirement for your organisation, having someone accountable for privacy compliance is always a good practice.

Managing privacy risks is complex and requires expertise in privacy regulations, information security, emerging technologies and working at an executive level.

If it’s not feasible to hire a full-time DPO or ensure independence from other executive roles, outsourcing this role can provide you with the necessary skills and expertise at a lower cost.

Our DPO-as-a-Service program is designed to instil a culture of data privacy and information security in your organisation. We’ll assist you in meeting all your compliance requirements and can even act as your named DPO.

GDPR compliance check and support

We can provide GDPR support for general day-to-day queries and an annual GDPR gap assessment to provide feedback on areas that need to be remediated along with a roadmap of actions required to improve your data protection compliance.
