Navigating Regulatory Compliance
The challenge
Our client lacked the specialist European regulatory experience necessary to deliver the required changes, and with limited knowledge of regulatory change, and a lack of standardised processes, they needed external support. We were brought in to help the client to navigate the intricacies of their EU regulatory compliance and data requirements.
Approach
Partnering with internal SMEs and other external resources across the 15 European company entities, our team designed and established strict governance and controls, monitoring more than 100 stakeholders and helping them to meet the legal obligations of GDPR.
We created a metric-based set of tools within a framework designed to objectively measure compliance adherence, and a detailed operating model that ensured data protection was prioritised both during and post project.
Risk reviews were regularly undertaken at a Steering Committee, with documented mitigation elements under active management control. What’s more, every two weeks we gave an evidenced status report against the baseline plan.
Our team effectively managed 15 group companies across Europe, reporting status to the US-based parent company throughout.
