## Protecting data, anticipating risks, *and safeguarding every decision*

Data protection and cybersecurity are now at the core of business performance and corporate trust. In an environment defined by digital transformation, regulatory complexity, and growing threats, every decision must balance speed, legal precision, and risk management.

Our team assists companies in developing compliance and security strategies that are both robust and pragmatic. We design solutions tailored to the realities of each organization, whether global groups, technology scale ups, investment funds, financial institutions, or digital platforms.

From negotiating data processing agreements to managing cyber crises, conducting data due diligence, or handling international transfers, we turn regulatory requirements into an asset for competitiveness and governance.

## *our*Interventions

0

0

### (01) GDPR Compliance and Data Strategy

We design customized compliance frameworks that support our clients’ business ambitions. Data flow mapping, processing documentation, vendor management, and internal policies are integrated into a clear, auditable, and adaptable architecture.

Our team also advises clients in their dealings with the CNIL, from preliminary assessments to defense in audits or enforcement actions. This comprehensive approach anticipates risks and integrates data protection into product and service design. Law becomes a strategic management tool serving innovation.

### (02) Data Due Diligence and Transactional Security

In every transaction, data and cybersecurity represent assets that are as sensitive as they are strategic. We audit processing activities, verify GDPR compliance, review past incidents, and assess contractual terms with service providers and business partners.

Our analysis identifies potential liabilities, refines warranty mechanisms, and secures closing conditions. We also assist post-acquisition to streamline practices, align internal policies, and ensure compliance across newly integrated entities.

### (03) International Data Transfers and Contract Structuring

Global data flows require rigorous command of the applicable legal frameworks, including standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, and adequacy decisions.

We design durable and reliable mechanisms to secure data transfers within multinational groups and their partners, taking into account the latest European requirements on data protection and cross-border control.

Each contractual framework is built with accountability in mind, validated against compliance standards, and designed to withstand regulatory scrutiny. Our goal is to enable seamless international operations while ensuring full legal security both in Europe and worldwide.

### (04) Cyber Crisis Management and Data Breach Response

In the event of a cyberattack or data breach, rapid legal response is critical. We act immediately to assess the incident, manage mandatory notifications, coordinate internal and external communications, and limit regulatory and reputational exposure.

Our team also handles defense in litigation or enforcement proceedings while helping leadership teams turn the experience into an opportunity to strengthen prevention measures.

### (05) Cybersecurity and Sector Regulation

Companies operating in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, energy, and telecommunications face heightened compliance obligations. We assist them in complying with the requirements set out in NIS2, DORA, the ePrivacy Directive, and other sector-specific regulatory standards.

Our work combines technical audits, security policy drafting, contractual arrangements with critical vendors, and inspection preparedness.

Our approach aims to strike a lasting balance between compliance, performance, and innovation.

Collective excellence

at the service of the

*highest standards.*
