Privacy and GDPR
Privacy protection and compliance with GDPR are today a prerequisite for operating a business in Norway. The regulations impose strict requirements on how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and shared, and the Norwegian Data Protection Authority actively supervises whether organizations comply with the law. Failure to comply may result in significant financial sanctions and reputational damage.
However, GDPR is not only a legal requirement – it is also a competitive advantage. Businesses that handle personal data in a secure and transparent way build trust and strengthen their position in the market. In Norway, it is particularly important to have strong routines in place, as both customers and authorities expect a high standard of privacy and information security.
We provide comprehensive legal advice within privacy and GDPR, tailored to the company’s needs and level of maturity. Our services include, among other things:
Mapping and analysis
We review the company’s processing of personal data and assess any gaps between current practices and the requirements of GDPR and the Norwegian Personal Data Act.
Preparation of documentation
We assist with drafting and quality-assuring privacy policies, internal control systems, records of processing activities, data processing agreements, and information security procedures.
Advisory services for high-risk processing
We help businesses assess legal bases for processing, balancing of interests, DPIAs (Data Protection Impact Assessments), and the handling of special categories of personal data.
Handling breaches and supervisory matters
We provide support in the event of personal data breaches, including assessing notification obligations to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority and communication with affected individuals. We also assist with supervisory cases and dialogue with authorities.
Training and awareness
We offer courses and workshops for management and employees to help build a strong privacy culture and ensure understanding of regulatory requirements.
