Preiskel & Co Data Protection and Cybersecurity team provides regular support to multibillion pounds technology (including Fintech) multinationals (and cutting-edge medium size technology companies) covering: (i) compliance; (ii) advice; (iii) audits and DDs checks; and (iv) review and negotiation of commercial agreements, drafting DPAs, etc.
The team also supports the corporate department in complex transactions, most of them in the technology and telecoms sectors.
As AI, big data and personal data plays an increasingly important role for businesses, so too has the regulatory framework grown. With the latest being the overlapping, and differing data protection regulatory requirements, new EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and the UK International Data Transfer Agreements, companies are needing more support than ever to map and contract commercially in compliance with these regulatory changes. Accordingly, companies are now required to comply with increasingly tight legal requirements regarding their use of personal data and compliance with cybersecurity regulations; including mandatory policies and notifications of breaches with the corresponding rises in risk of public fines of a much larger magnitude.
We assist our clients in navigating through this complex area, with risk-based and comprehensive advice, informed by our experience of communications, technology, and international issues.
