Sustainable Data

Data Governance
Current State
-
Data fragmentation and inconsistent quality slow AI adoption and undermine decision-making.

Design a data strategy and roadmap aligned to business and AI outcomes and the target operating model (TOM) to implement it.
-
Deploy metadata, lifecycle management and stewardship processes that bring directly value to the business.

Data Privacy
Current State
-
Organizations face legal and reputational risks from privacy breaches. Employees and customers expect transparency and trust in data handling.
-
Lack of clear rules on personal data use hinders innovation, data sharing and AI adoption.
-
Privacy-enhancing technologies are underdeveloped, causing organizations to rely on manual processes that create bottlenecks for the businesses.
Our approach
-
Perform privacy assessment and risk mitigation roadmap calibrated to regulatory exposure.
-
Design privacy TOM and implement privacy‑by‑design practices across key workflows.
-
Deploy processes and tooling for inventory, DPIA, rights management, third party risk management and breach response.
Target state
-
A transparent, risk‑based privacy program enables responsible use of personal data while supporting innovation.
-
Data subjects’ rights are continuously respected and efficiently managed at scale.
-
Seamless and scalable privacy processes are embedded in the company’s value chain. Privacy requirements are embedded by design across processes, products and technologies.

Month 1-3: Privacy Assessment
-
Month 4-6: Roadmap/TOM
-
Month 4-12: Pilot Implementation
-
Month 7-18: Process implementation (Data Subject Rights, Privacy by Design, Incident Response Management)

Data Protection
Current State
-
Organizations often fail to prevent data breaches from internal or external sources. Inability to manage identities and access, and misunderstanding data assets, are key obstacles.
-
Security measures lack prioritization based on business value. Data protection technologies are underdeveloped, causing organizations to rely on manual processes that create bottlenecks for the businesses.
-
Companies struggle with inconsistent protection measures due to balancing internal and outsourced cybersecurity.
Our approach
-
Perform Crown Jewels Inventory, NIST/ISO 27001 assessment and data discovery exercises to locate sensitive information and vulnerabilities.
-
Define data protection strategies focused on business strategy and crown jewels protection.
-
Integrate data protection as part of the organization’s business as usual processes.
Target state
-
Crown Jewels are identified and protection measures prioritized based on their classification. A zero-trust identity and access management policy is in place.
-
Automated state of art data protection technologies enable seamless cybersecurity (posture management, AI enabled data discovery, Data leakage prevention)
-
Internal and external capabilities are coordinated through a well‑defined model, optimizing cost and impact.

Month 4-6: Strategy/Roadmap
-
Month 4-12: Pilot Implementation
-
Month 7-18: Process implementation (Process implementation (e.g. IAM recast, DLP…)

Data Sovereignty
Current State
-
Dependence on foreign cloud and technology providers creates potential geopolitical and supply chain exposure.
-
Confidential data, including national security, trade secrets and intellectual property, is exposed to foreign intelligence.
-
Data subjects' privacy is at risk from foreign access and potentially illegally used to train AI models and fuel innovations.
-
Technology lock‑ins reduce flexibility, innovation and negotiation leverage with strategic vendors.
Our approach
-
Rapid assessment of data flows, vendor dependencies and legal exposure.
-
Define sovereign target architecture options, financing models and transition planning.
-
Execute migration, encryption and continuity operations using local and open‑source solutions.
Target state
-
Sovereign data and infrastructure ensure operational independence and continuity under any scenario.
-
Confidential data and personal information are safe from foreign intelligence.
-
Technology choices are strategic, compliant and diversified, reducing concentration risk.

Sustainable Operations

ESG Strategy
Current State
-
ESG expectations rise from investors, regulators and employees, while organizations lack a consistent framework for accountability and disclosure.
-
Limited visibility into climate and social risks constraints strategic planning, regulatory readiness and access to capital.
-

Procurement
Current State
-
Supply chains face growing scrutiny on human rights, carbon footprint and regulatory compliance. Organizations rely heavily on suppliers regarding data ethics, compliance, quality, security and privacy.
