Data Protection Support
Gain Confidence – Internally and Externally
Whether it’s customer, employee, patient, or customer data – do you know what information you can collect? How long you can store it? And how data has to be protected from unauthorized third parties? Our experts can provide support for data protection projects, or continuously for proper handling of personal data.
