Due to the permanent evolution of technologies, the area of cybersecurity and personal data protection has become increasingly important to the legislator, not only because of the number of transactions that are carried out daily online, but mainly because of the specific nature of personal data that companies store and deal with. Following the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, which ensures legislative harmonization in all countries of the European Union, compliance with legal requirements for the storage and processing of personal data becomes more acute, especially as non-compliance is subject to substantial fines.

Because the Regulation is applicable to a reality that concerns most companies, by simply storing the personal data of customers, suppliers or even their own employees in a database, that have video surveillance systems or even presence check systems, at APALawyers we have a structured team to advise on the protection of personal data, namely by conducting audits to verify compliance with legislation and its implementation in close collaboration with human resources management, and we also represent our clients before administrative and judicial instances.
