Industries
GDPR and FADP compliance obligations are not uniform across sectors. The data flows that create exposure, the legal bases that apply, and the supervisory authority priorities differ significantly by industry — and a generic compliance programme does not account for those differences.
Financial Services
Financial institutions face an unusually dense intersection of GDPR, FADP, and sector-specific regulation. Data residency, transaction data trails, and automated decision-making obligations require specialist navigation.
- Data residency constraints and FADP/GDPR interaction
- MiFID II data lineage requirements and GDPR alignment
- PSD2 data sharing with consent and lawful basis controls
- DORA resilience requirements and data observability
- FINMA overlap for Swiss-domiciled institutions
Healthcare
Healthcare data carries some of the highest regulatory risk under GDPR — Art. 9 special category data, clinical trial obligations, and increasingly complex data pipeline environments serving multiple controllers.
- Art. 9 special category processing basis — explicit consent vs. health necessity
- Clinical trial data management and retention obligations
- Healthcare data processor and sub-processor chain documentation
- Hospital data pipeline observability for audit readiness
- HDS certification awareness for French market operators
SaaS & Tech
SaaS companies typically act as data processors for their customers — creating a web of DPA obligations, sub-processor management requirements, and SCCs that need systematic maintenance rather than periodic review.
- Processor/controller distinction — know which role you play for each customer
- DPA template design and customer-facing compliance documentation
- SCCs review and international transfer mechanisms
- Sub-processor inventory and change notification obligations
- Consent API integration design for B2C features
Retail & eCommerce
Retail and eCommerce operations typically collect personal data at high volume and low scrutiny — cookie consent, marketing lists, loyalty profiles, and automated recommendation systems all carry GDPR obligations that frequently go unaddressed.
- Cookie consent audit and consent management platform assessment
- Email marketing consent records and suppression list management
- Profiling and automated decision-making disclosure obligations
- Loyalty programme data management and data minimisation
- Cross-border eCommerce customer data transfer mechanisms
Sector context shapes the compliance approach
We assess your data landscape and regulatory obligations with your sector's specific framework in mind — MiFID II data trails for financial services, Art. 9 special category obligations for healthcare, processor chain documentation for SaaS. Not a generic GDPR checklist applied uniformly.
