DATA PROTECTION AND DATA SECURITY
Piltz Legal helps companies and institutions to set up individual areas or projects in compliance with the GDPR and supports them in their day-to-day data protection business. From data protection declarations to complex data protection projects, we advise and support our clients - in some cases for many years.
The regulatory requirements in data protection law have increased, especially since the applicability of the GDPR. Nowadays, data protection is an integral part of every company's compliance. We support you in positioning yourself in such a way that you are also well prepared for future developments.
Data protection law is one of our special areas of focus and we have outstanding expertise in this field. In particular, we accompany complex IT and eCommerce projects from conception through GoLive and on an ongoing basis with legal expertise and a high level of detailed knowledge. In doing so, we focus on legally sound and economic solutions that are individually tailored to our clients' needs. If necessary, we coordinate with third parties and competent authorities at an early stage.
In addition, we support you with data protection audits and the resulting data security concepts. This is not just a matter of complying with data protection regulations, but also of drafting contracts with third parties who have access to your data, transferring data abroad and safeguarding your own company data.
Do you have an acute situation or a detailed question at short notice? We are characterised by our proximity to our clients and our speed of response. Your personal contact will be happy to help you at short notice in a pragmatic and solution-oriented manner.

This also means that the legal obligation to set up an internal reporting channel is getting closer for very many German companies (all with generally at least 250 employees).
