Detailed description

dr. Miklós Péter adatvédelmi jogász, adatvédelem, adatkezelés

Our goal is that as a result of our services, our clients maintain and, where appropriate, increase their efficiency while complying with all legal requirements applicable to them. Based on our practical experience, a well-considered and comprehensive internal legal regulation, specifically tailored to the organizations of our clients, can contribute to the effectiveness our clients’ operation. To achieve this goal, we work on specific legal issues that are relevant to the every-day operations of an organization.

Our primary field of expertise is data privacy and cybersecurity law. We believe that a fundamental approach in this field of law is that an organization should take the measures to protect personal data that are proportionate to the risks identified in its operation and business activities. A risk-based approach is a key element of our work; we always draw our clients’ attention to the potential risks of each measure in the context of our external DPO services, and we try to outline a number of alternatives to help them make a well-considered decision. This approach is also followed in our work in the field of whistleblower protection law, labour law, internet law and business law.

The complexity of our work is further enhanced by our long-term and active business relationships with our partners in the fields of information security, property protection and marketing. Accordingly, our clients have also access to the services of our business partners working with us.

Fields of Practice

Data protection is a matter of particular importance for all businesses and organisations that process personal data; since GDPR has become applicable, the relevant legal and regulatory requirements have been met to varying degrees and qualities by different data controllers. We offer our data protection services to data controllers who feel that they have gaps in this area. We know how an organisation can reach a state of awareness and operate its data protection system effectively.
