Why it matters

A single GDPR fine reaches 4% of global turnover. Cross-border data transfers without SCCs are illegal in EU. Trademarks not filed via Madrid Protocol are squatted within 90 days in CN, RU, TR. This module locks the data + IP perimeter.

Cross-border data transfer mechanisms — GDPR SCCs, UK IDTA, India DPDP Act, China PIPL

Data residency & localisation — Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam

IP registration strategy — Madrid Protocol (TM), PCT (patents), country filings

Trade secret protection & NDA enforceability per jurisdiction

Software export & open-source compliance globally (OFAC + license obligations)

DPO / Privacy Officer appointments per region

Breach notification matrix (72-hr GDPR, 4-day SEC, etc.)

How we run it

Our methodology

A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team and external counsel, not handed over as a deck.

1
Data-flow & RoPA build
Week 1–2
Map every personal-data flow across products, vendors and geographies; build the RoPA (Record of Processing Activities) per data-controller entity.
2
Multi-jurisdiction privacy gap
Week 2–4
Gap analysis against GDPR, India DPDP Act 2023, China PIPL and US state laws (CCPA/CPRA, CT, VA, CO); rank remediation by risk and effort.
3
Cross-border transfer mechanics
Week 4–7
Implement SCCs / EU adequacy / TIA / Indian DPDP transfer rules; vendor sub-processor list and DPAs cleaned and re-papered.
4
IP perimeter — Madrid / PCT
Week 7–9
Trademark portfolio reviewed and filed via Madrid Protocol in priority countries; patent portfolio filed via PCT with national-phase plan.
5
Trade-secret & employment IP
Week 9–12
Trade-secret program (classification, access controls, leaver process), IP-assignment and invention-disclosure clauses standardised per country.
6
DSR, breach & assurance
Week 12–14
Data-subject-request and breach-response playbooks tested end-to-end; readiness pack ready for ISO 27701 / SOC 2 privacy assurance.
