Omicron Consulting combines its technological expertise with in-depth knowledge of the Privacy and GDPR fields to help companies protect information from potential cyber-attacks, comply with regulations, rules and control systems for adequate compliance and adopt security models compliant with the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In recent years, the strong acceleration of digitization has led cybersecurity to be a top priority in multiple industry sectors. The importance of proper handling and protection of personal data is now becoming more and more defined. As the information available to businesses grows at an infinite rate, the risks of data destruction, alteration, loss, disclosure and unavailability have never been more eminent. A badly executed procedure can generate sudden Data Breaches compromising the availability, integrity and confidentiality of personal data with negative consequences in terms of economy and brand reputation.

In 2020, detected and successful attacks had a “high” and “critical” impact in 56% of cases; 44% were of “medium” severity. It is estimated that the global damage generated by this recent cyber escalation amounts to two times the Italian GDP, or more than 3,400 billion euros.

If we look at the phenomenon from this perspective, the issue of personal data processing and protection actually becomes the most urgent business imperative. As the attack surfaces increase, with new digital phenomena taking over today, the risks to corporate data security increase. Italy is one of the most targeted countries in the world in an increasingly complex threat landscape that is inexorably increasing its range of action.

Being GDPR compliant means complying with the European legislation on the protection of personal data.

To achieve this goal, the company must adopt all the rules and procedures necessary to allow, through an adequate process of identification, measurement, management of the main risks, a healthy, correct and consistent with the business objectives.

Our team of privacy and GDPR experts have put together a series of questions to help you understand whether your business has taken all the necessary protective measures to reduce the risks of destruction, alteration, loss, disclosure and unavailability of data.
