Privacy advisory

Navigate Global Privacy Regulations with Confidence

Privacy law is fragmented, but your data architecture is not. ABM helps general counsel, DPOs, and security leaders build programmes that satisfy overlapping obligations — without freezing product velocity.

Whether you are headquartered in the United States, scaling into the European Union, or operating regulated workloads in the United Arab Emirates, your customers will ask how personal data is collected, used, retained, and transferred. ABM combines legal-grade documentation with technical fluency so your answers match what your logs and data stores actually show.

We work alongside your engineering and security teams on data minimisation, purpose limitation, and subprocessors — the places where privacy programmes usually break under real-world shipping pressure. Our Dubai office is particularly experienced in Middle Eastern data-localisation questions; our New York team handles US state-law complexity as new statutes come online each year; and our Paris office provides native EU expertise on GDPR, the EU AI Act, and NIS2.

Programme components

Privacy services tailored to technology companies

Engagements can be project-based (e.g., post-acquisition harmonisation) or retained advisory for ongoing product launches.

GDPR

Lawful basis documentation, processor/controller alignment, DPIA triggers, breach notification playbooks, and DPA templates that stand up to European enterprise legal review — plus practical support for Schrems II transfer mechanisms.

UAE PDPL

Compliance programmes for Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 and related regulations: governance, consent and legitimate-interest analysis, cross-border transfer assessments, and alignment with local sector expectations.

CCPA / CPRA & US State Privacy

Consumer rights operationalisation, “sale/share” analysis, sensitive data inventories, and service-provider vs contractor classifications — coordinated with your product roadmap so privacy is not bolted on at launch.

Cross-border Data Transfers

Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs), SCCs and UK IDTA modules, supplementary measures for high-risk destinations, and documentation that satisfies both EU regulators and your customers’ vendor-assessment portals.

PIAs & DPIAs

Structured privacy impact assessments for new features, AI systems, and major vendor changes — integrating security, legal, and product stakeholders with defensible records of decision-making.

ROPA

Article 30–style Records of Processing Activities built from engineering truth: data stores, pipelines, retention, subprocessors, and international flows — maintained as a living artefact, not a one-off spreadsheet.

Privacy work at ABM is designed to interoperate with ISO 27701 certification and SOC 2 Privacy Category examinations when you need independent assurance — not just policy binders.
