Legal Consultant for GDPR Compliance Review
Skills Required
Description
GDPR compliance is a critical requirement for businesses that process customer data, and this project is aimed at ensuring policies, documents, and agreements meet the necessary standards.
The consultant will review existing contracts and documentation to identify risks and gaps related to data protection. Any inconsistencies or missing clauses must be flagged with recommendations for improvement.
Since the timeline is short, the consultant should be able to move quickly, focusing on the most urgent compliance areas without compromising accuracy.
Knowledge of contract drafting will be essential. Updates may include revising data processing agreements, creating addendums, or tightening existing clauses to meet GDPR requirements.
Negotiation skills will also be important, as some updates could involve discussions with partners or vendors who process data on the company’s behalf.
Business strategy experience is a plus. Recommendations shouldn’t just cover legal compliance but should also align with broader operational goals.
The consultant will also be expected to review policies such as privacy notices, cookie policies, and internal governance frameworks.
Excel or similar tools may be used for tracking compliance checklists, documenting risks, and managing action items.
Market research could come into play if the company operates across multiple regions with slightly different interpretations of GDPR rules....
