Privacy
Quantum Risk Solutions advises mid-market and enterprise clients on the design, implementation and operation of data protection and privacy programmes. The firm works with organisations seeking to establish privacy capability from the ground up, with those whose existing arrangements have reached the limits of what they can deliver, and with those facing specific regulatory, transactional or operational pressures that require senior privacy counsel.
Engagements
- 01 The design and implementation of data protection frameworks aligned with the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and other applicable data protection regimes, including ISO/IEC 27701 where formal certification is sought.
- 02 The development of internal policy, operating procedures and records of processing, structured to support practical implementation across business and technology functions rather than to satisfy documentation requirements alone.
- 03 Outsourced and fractional Data Protection Officer services for organisations required, or choosing, to appoint a DPO, including statutory DPO appointments where appropriate.
- 04 Data protection impact assessments for higher-risk processing activities, including AI-related processing, large-scale profiling, and processing involving special category or vulnerable populations.
- 05 Advisory support on international data transfers, including transfer impact assessments, contractual arrangements and the practical implications of evolving regulatory and case law developments.
- 06 Privacy due diligence in support of corporate transactions, including the assessment of target organisations' privacy posture and the integration of privacy programmes following acquisition.
- 07 Regulator engagement support, including the preparation of responses to regulatory enquiries, consultation responses, and the handling of personal data breaches requiring notification.
- 08 The delivery of structured training programmes for boards, senior leadership, privacy teams and the wider workforce.
How we work
A privacy programme that exists primarily on paper protects no one. The work of privacy is operational: ensuring that the controls described in policy actually shape how data is collected, used, stored, shared, and ultimately disposed of by the organisations responsible for it.
Quantum Risk Solutions approaches privacy as a discipline that requires regulatory fluency, an understanding of how data flows through real organisations, and a sustained focus on what is workable in practice. The firm advises clients to build privacy programmes that are proportionate to the data they handle and the risks they face, that integrate with existing risk and compliance functions, and that can be operated and maintained by the teams expected to live with them.
The firm engages substantively with the regulatory environment, including developments in UK data protection reform, the wider evolution of European data protection law and case law, and the increasing intersection between privacy, AI governance and cyber security. Clients can expect advice that reflects current developments and a considered view of where the regulatory environment is likely to move next.
