ROBUS – Data Governance

Demonstrating compliance with data protection legislation such as GDPR is a significant challenge for businesses today. In collaboration with BDO’s specialist Advisory practice we can implement and support ROBUS, a data governance tool, to ensure compliance across your organisation.

A siloed and excel spreadsheet based approach to data privacy is highly inefficient

Our combination of technical skills and extensive regulatory knowledge makes it possible for you to ensure consistent, reliable and continuous adherence to legal requirements.
With instant oversight for the Board, you can track reviews and approval of data processing activities, assets and third party processors in real time, with built-in accountability and audit history. ROBUS enables efficient and effective management of data breaches and subject access requests.
