Technology

Helping you handle legal issues and stay compliant so you can harness the full potential of data, digital and technology

Data, digital and technology continues to change the global economy and every aspect of how businesses function. They’re impacting how you operate, and how you serve your customers and markets. There are tremendous opportunities for companies that embrace digital transformation, but there are also risks of critical business systems not being fit for purpose and business or personal data being compromised. 

Organisations are embracing new technology knowing that the technology they choose needs to be sustainable and resilient. The potential commercial benefits of accessing, developing and using technology and the ability to collect, use and analyse data are huge. However, they can only be realised if an organisation considers its operational and security requirements, its contractual position and its legal, regulatory and ethical obligations as part of its technology, digital and data strategy.

Global data compliance

Failing to protect data can have a severe impact on your business – from a loss of trust to significant fines. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) give regulators the power to fine up to 4% of annual global turnover. We can help you build a robust model for data management.
