Case Study: a women's shelter in Germany achieves EU-GDPR compliance with BearingPoint

Women's Shelter in Germany streamlines GDPR compliance in 3 steps with BearingPoint

A women's shelter in Germany, a nonprofit organization providing confidential housing and support, faced the challenge of ensuring its data handling processes were fully compliant with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With limited resources, the shelter needed expert assistance to review and redesign its procedures to protect the sensitive information of its residents. BearingPoint provided pro bono consulting services to address this critical need.

BearingPoint implemented a three-step solution, beginning with an assessment of the shelter's processes and the creation of an easy-to-use processing directory template. The team then conducted remote workshops to adapt the template to the shelter's specific workflows. Finally, BearingPoint delivered a comprehensive handbook to empower the shelter's staff to handle data protection requests independently. This project ensured the organization's GDPR compliance and streamlined its data processes for the future.
