Compliance Services

We assist businesses in achieving compliance with GDPR, the EU AI Act, and the Well-Architected Framework.

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU law regulating the processing of personal data through computers and even manual systems if they result in a filing system. BISOT offers comprehensive GDPR compliance services for small and medium-sized companies, as well as enterprise departments. Our internationally certified GDPR experts bring years of hands-on experience in ensuring compliance.

Our specialists combine expertise in three critical areas: legal, privacy, and technology. This unique combination is crucial for GDPR, which is a compliance regulation tailored for technology-driven businesses. Pure legal knowledge falls short in understanding technical complexities, while privacy and legal implications can be unclear to technologists. At BISOT, we unite these fields with a pragmatic approach, delivering highly actionable advice.

EU AI Act

The EU AI Act is an EU regulation governing the use of AI by companies of all sizes, covering the development, deployment, and distribution of AI systems. Certain AI practices are prohibited, while high-risk AI systems face additional requirements such as risk management, data governance, and record-keeping.

Similar to GDPR, every company must comply with the AI Act. Currently, businesses need to establish basic AI training and avoid prohibited practices. In the near future, stricter requirements for providers and users of high-risk AI systems will come into force, including mandates on system operations and governance.

BISOT provides comprehensive support to help businesses establish and maintain compliance with the EU AI Act.

Software Assessment and Well-Architected Framework

Computing systems require periodic assessments. This could be due to business changes, reorganizations, acquisitions, or technological shifts within the company. A system may no longer align with its purpose, or conversely, it might serve as the foundation for new developments.

Originally developed by Amazon, the Well-Architected Framework evaluates cloud solutions' adherence to principles and best practices for designing and operating cloud-based systems. It is a valuable tool for assessing software systems in general.

While the assessment process itself is repeatable, each system and business context is unique. Typically, a tailored set of questions is developed for each assessment, often incorporating elements from the Well-Architected Framework.

These assessments usually take anywhere from a few person-days to several person-weeks. Despite the costs, they frequently uncover insights that make them an excellent investment.
