Data Protection & Privacy

GDPR compliance for organisations handling clinical, health, and AI data, including privacy by design, DPIAs, international transfer mechanisms, breach response, and data governance.

Life-sciences organisations handle some of the most sensitive personal data there is — clinical, health, and increasingly AI-derived. We help you process it lawfully and defensibly under the EU and UK GDPR.

How we help

  • Privacy governance: records of processing (RoPA), policies, and accountability frameworks.
  • Data protection by design and by default across products, trials, and digital health.
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk and AI-driven processing.
  • International data transfers: SCCs, the UK IDTA / Addendum, and transfer risk assessments.
  • Data-subject rights, transparency, and lawful bases in a clinical and research context.
  • Personal data breach assessment, response, and regulator engagement.

Why it matters

Regulatory and data protection obligations increasingly intersect — in clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, connected devices, and AI. Getting privacy right protects participants and patients, and keeps products and programmes moving.
