The GDPR is one of the biggest expansions in the field of privacy worldwide. This legislation protects all personal data of anyone who sets foot in Europe in an unprecedented way. Having trouble navigating the laundry list of new obligations? At Apogado, we have all the answers.
How do we do this? We apply our own developed frameworks that have emerged from our years of experience and expertise. Our standard approach consists of three phases:
- Audit – A brief evaluation of your current situation that leads to a concrete roadmap.
- Implementation – Drafting and rolling out all necessary measures, documents, procedures, and more to comply with the GDPR.
- Governance – Systematic evaluation of the established measures and follow-up of daily privacy aspects.
Throughout all these phases, we always consider the correct balance between legal, business, and IT aspects. Big or small, public or private, our consultants have experience and knowledge in all these domains and ensure that you comply with the strict requirements of all privacy legislations, avoid hefty fines, and create added value for your business!

Satisfied customers are important to us
"Protecting privacy and information security is crucial for VITO. We often work with confidential and personal data and are exposed to numerous information security risks.
