Compliance Support

Trilateral offers compliance assessments, which evaluate your organisation’s data protection strategies to determine what actions are needed across your organisation to improve compliance with relevant EU and national legislation.

These actions might include:

• the development of a data protection policy & procedure manual;
• providing advice and recording decisions on how long data will be kept (data retention periods);
• putting in place controller/processor legal or data sharing agreements;
• implementing technical and organisational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security;
• as well as other mechanisms required based on the organisation’s processing activities.

Trilateral will perform a gap analysis to identify priority areas that need to be strengthened and produce a list of action items for each function/department within your organisation.

Trilateral assists in establishing a library of documentation and templates that will:

• Demonstrate compliance with data protection laws and information security requirements;
• Outline appropriate policies and procedures;
• Help to establish a data protection culture across the organisation.

Depending on your needs, we can work with you directly to build the required documentation, or we can review the documentation produced independently by your staff and suggest specific improvements.

When determining priority areas for compliance, Trilateral adopts a risk-based approach that is based on client’s specific risk-appetite. This will include prioritising action items according to urgency, for example, prioritising the development of  missing or inadequate documentation that will make the most immediate and significant impact on compliance.
