How are the services in practice provided?
The services are implemented in close cooperation with the customer organization, taking into account the nature of the business and the operating environment.
The customer relationship is managed by designated contact persons, but we provide the service with the expertise of our entire data protection team. In this way, we ensure the continuity of our service, the breadth of our expertise and the quality of our work.
The customer directs the use of our resources within the agreed scope of the service. We carry out the tasks according to the priority and schedule directed by the customer. We discuss with the customer in regular status meetings, which we arrange as agreed with the customer, for example weekly or monthly.
If the customer wishes, we can operate in the customer organization's IT environment using the customer's own tools and environments. Communication with us is easy and flexible, just like with an internal advisor.
Our services can be tailored as needed and combined with Insta's information security and cyber services, for example, when evaluating technical protection measures. Through our service, you get both data protection and cyber security expertise.
