Data Professional Support Services (virtual Data Protection Officer)

All organizations need professional data protection and The Trust Bridge provides an organization’s existing team with additional support without the associated cost of recruitment or personnel management.  The Trust Bridge can provide the wisdom, experience and skills needed to make sure that your organization satisfies the supervisory authorities and ensures ongoing trust from your employees and stakeholders or customers alike.

We offer a number of support advisory services on a monthly basis.

Nominated European Representative Service

  • Do you offer goods and services internationally (outside the US)?
  • Do you offer goods and services to the UK and / or EU?
  • Do you have employees based in the UK or EU?

If the answer is yes to any of the questions above, there is a legal requirement that US based organizations must now meet. Access the Trust Bridge webinar discussion of the new data protection requirement associated with UK legislation and the GDPR. It applies to organizations that are managing data in the UK and EU.  Listen in to learn about the major issues an organization must consider, including the requirement of appointing a Nominated European Representative (NER) for your organization.

Data Due Diligence

In line with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)  and other domestic and global data protection regulations being introduced, The Trust Bridge (TTB) runs an audit service for organizations who are undertaking any due diligence on a 3rd party organization. (Investment, M&A, Supply Chain)

TTB will report on the status of any 3rd party organization to ensure either that it is aligned with these regulations or report where there are current and potential problem areas and recommend remedial action.  Where required, we work with the client to implement the necessary changes to operations and procedures to comply with governmental regulations.

Nominated European Representative Service

While the GDPR is a European regulation, many organizations outside of Europe will be unaware that they are required to appoint a Nominated European Representative under certain conditions, e.g. if they are doing business with EU citizens.

The Trust Bridge can offer a Nominated European Representative Service (a legal requirement under GDPR Article 27) as well as a UK Representative office

Value to ECIA Members

By undertaking the Data Protection Alignment process, any organization achieves a co-ordinated multi pronged approach to GDPR and CCPA which accelerates alignment to the new global data protection requirements. With a clear plan, progress monitoring, subsequent review and evidence based decisions can be made to deliver best practice and compliance readiness.

The process will help reduce the length of time a specialist resource is needed and gives you the ability to review and modify action plans/ roadmaps and delivery throughout the process, while identifying new risks and potential mitigation.

The Alignment process will achieve Board level understanding of the opportunities and challenges inherent in the new regulations,  enabling development of a strategic plan and roadmap to deliver focus,  direction and compliance with GDPR / CCPA governance and accountability.

It will provide an agreed direction for legacy data, current data and future proofing capabilities ensuring alignment with  laws and will demonstrate to the regulator that you are investing in activity and taking tangible steps towards full compliance.

The assessment reports will present a clear picture of the current position relating to the data held, how it is handled and managed, and the data flowing through the wider supply chain.
