LEGAL 500 EMEA 2025 - DATA PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
Personal data and information is a fundamental asset for any kind of business nowadays. Information and data need to be managed efficiently, adequately protected and exploited. At the same time, risks connected with the use of information (cyber risks, data breaches, etc.) may cause not only economic damages but also affect significantly a company’s reliability and reputation. The development of new technologies and the diffusion of cloud infrastructures need to be carefully approached on a national level, but also considered under a global perspective, bearing in mind implications concerning jurisdiction, competent authorities and applicable laws.

Three professionals of the practice area group obtained the Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) certification through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), one obtained the Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) certification through IAPP and one obtained the “Expert European Privacy Auditor / Lead Auditor” certification for the ISDP©10003 certification scheme.
