Regulations for Consulting & Services
Consulting and services companies process large volumes of confidential client data and are therefore subject to strict data protection requirements. Sustainability reporting obligations are also becoming increasingly relevant.
Why Is This Sector Especially Affected?
- Data protection: Confidential client data, HR data, and cross-border data processing require comprehensive GDPR compliance
- Sustainability: Large consulting firms and service providers must report under the CSRD
- Whistleblowing: The HinSchG requires internal reporting channels from 50 employees
- Data processing agreements: As service providers for other companies, special GDPR requirements for data processing agreements apply
