Case Study: GDPR Compliance for a Leading Law Firm

A leading international law firm was managing vast amounts of sensitive client data across Europe. With the enforcement of GDPR, they faced the immense challenge of ensuring their data handling processes, particularly within their extensive SharePoint document management system, were fully compliant. They needed a way to audit access, manage data retention policies, and demonstrate compliance without disrupting their core legal operations.

Webtrip's engagement was focused on building a robust compliance framework. We assisted the firm in setting up their internal audit structures and classifying their vast amounts of data according to GDPR norms. To operationalize this, we designed and implemented a centralized SharePoint portal. This portal served as the hub for managing data access requests, documenting retention policies, and providing a clear, auditable trail for regulators.

• Achieved full GDPR compliance for their SharePoint document management system in under 4 months.
• Mitigated the risk of significant fines and reputational damage associated with non-compliance.
• The established framework also prepared the firm to be compliant with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023.
• Increased operational efficiency by centralizing and simplifying previously manual compliance and reporting tasks.
