Services in detail

GDPR-Consulting
Since the introduction of the GDPR in May 2018, data protection regulations have significantly evolved. Companies are facing challenges related to cybersecurity and the growing automation brought about by big data applications and legal tech solutions. Digital innovations have become essential in both the public and private sectors. The GDPR provides a legal framework for addressing these challenges, which must be understood and leveraged. Our experts offer comprehensive consulting services on all data-related issues, focusing on data protection regulations and information security.

Application Audits
In the context of digitalization and the growing use of artificial intelligence, data processing applications are unavoidable. Their development necessitates a data protection analysis to ensure future legal compliance and documentation. MKM supports you throughout the development and implementation process to ensure that products meet data protection standards. Our consultants provide diverse support, communicating directly with developers and engineers as needed to address technically complex requirements and facilitate seamless collaboration.

Certification Support
The ISO 27701 has expanded the privacy criteria of ISO 27001. The "AUDITOR" research project is developing the first EU-wide data protection certification for cloud services. MKM is a partner in this initiative, providing support for data protection certifications. The experienced consultants at MKM assist companies with all types of data protection certifications, including those under the "AUDITOR" project and other relevant certifications. In particular, we take on the following tasks:
- Preparation of audits
- Analysis of criteria, derivation of recommendations
- Evaluation of data protection management systems (DSMS)
- Completion of documentation for certification
- Support for the data protection sub-process during certification

Contracts
The design of data protection solutions through contracts varies depending on the type and size of the company. Laws and jurisprudence are crucial in this regard, not just the will of the parties involved. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) offers flexible design options that must be tailored to individual needs. MKM leverages its legal expertise to optimally advise clients and help them benefit from these possibilities.
We support companies in contract management, particularly with data processing agreements for customers. We collaboratively design contracts for joint responsibility, master service agreements, or Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) with our clients. Our expertise enables us to develop effective and legally sound solutions that meet data protection requirements while also supporting business objectives.
