FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Concise answers for visitors comparing Graham Miranda service areas.

Are you a Datenschutzbeauftragter (DPO)?

We can act as external DPO for SMEs below specific size thresholds where qualification matches. For larger organisations, we work alongside an external DPO and provide operational support.

Is this legal advice?

No. GDPR readiness work is operational and procedural. Legal interpretation in disputed scenarios remains a lawyer matter.

What about non-EU vendors?

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) where needed, and explicit listing in your RoPA.

Do you handle awareness training?

Basic staff awareness sessions and written guidance included in retainer packages. Specialised role-based training scoped separately.

Can you respond to actual data breaches?

Yes — breach response support is available with realistic scope: containment, communication, written post-incident review, regulator notification draft.

What about cookies and tracking?

Cookie governance, consent layer review and Datenschutzerklärung coverage are part of the standard scope.
