by | Dec 11, 2024 | Case studies

Expanding across borders brings immense opportunities but also significant challenges. For a global SaaS leader entering Europe, GDPR compliance posed a critical hurdle. Inconsistent workflows and data vulnerabilities threatened not just regulatory fines but the company’s reputation. LawFlex stepped in with tailored expertise to ensure a seamless, scalable compliance strategy.

The Challenge

With operations expanding rapidly across Europe, the company struggled with:

  • Inconsistent data protection workflows
  • Gaps in GDPR compliance
  • A lack of integration between legal, product, and engineering teams

The LawFlex Solution

To tackle these issues, LawFlex deployed two experienced data privacy attorneys:

  • Conducted a comprehensive audit, identifying key areas of non-compliance.
  • Developed a company-wide privacy framework with updated policies, training programs, and automated systems for data requests.
  • Partnered with product and engineering teams to embed privacy-by-design principles into new features.

The Results

LawFlex’s agile approach delivered:

  • Compliance Secured: Passed an EU audit with no penalties, avoiding fines of up to €2M.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Automation reduced time spent on data requests by 60%.
  • Cost Savings: Solutions delivered at 40% less than external counsel.
  • Strengthened Trust: Showcased robust data protection systems, bolstering client relationships.
