PREPARATION

The six steps to GDPR compliance

Technical Advice

• FourthLine can assist firms at the beginning for their GDPR journey.

• We offer Technical Advisor meetings with trusted interims who can advise you on multiple aspects of GDPR regulation and delivery.

• Our partnership with a leading data privacy law firm can also offer your in house legal team free guidance on your legal requirements under GDPR.

• Both services are a value add to our customers and are free of charge.

Regulatory Interpretation

• How your firm is going to be impacted by GDPR is still up for great debate.

• The only thing for certain is that it will apply for all firms trading across the EU and how you interpret and apply the regulation to your company is going to be central to successful compliance.

• FourthLine’s network of interim Data Privacy Legal Counsels and experienced Heads of Data Privacy will guide your firm through the maze of

regulation.

Gap Analysis

• Each firm will need to carry out PIAs and a deep dive into the data they hold, their current risk exposure and compliance against GDPR.

• This needs to be carried out in all departments from Marketing to IT and is the starting block to prepare the pathway to GDPR implementation.

• FourthLine can provide Data Analysis, Data Governance, Data Classification and Business Analysis interims to help you assess your current state.

Roadmap for Compliance and Delivery

• The GDPR programme is wide ranging, encompassing diverse business areas such as legal, marketing, technology, sales and compliance.• Expert management and delivery of this complex challenge is essential to ensuring you meet the May 2018 deadline.

• FourthLine works with the top 20% of interim programme, project and data professionals to help you deliver key regulatory and organisational change programmes.

Technology

• With only around 1 in 10 firms currently using a Data Classification or Data Inventory tool there is likely to be much requirement around Technology change to track your data and flag and report data breaches.

• There will also be greater scrutiny on how you manage data and the resilience of networks against cyber- attacks.

• FourthLine has a strong network of technical professionals ranging from Business Analysts, Technical Architects and Technology Change interims to help you with system change and implementation.

Business As Usual

• Embedding GDPR and Privacy by Design will be essential in the ongoing challenge to remain

compliant. • Training, documentation, reporting and the

obligations of your compliance function and Data Privacy team will all need consideration.

• FourthLine’s permanent recruitment team can identify the BAU professionals to help you embed and comply with GDPR long term. We have a long history of understanding the key behaviours that make your team a long term success.
