Personal Data Compliance in Russia

We help Russian and foreign-owned businesses assess and document personal data processing in Russia.

Practical approach

We start with a data map rather than policy templates: what data is collected, why it is processed, who receives it and where it is stored.

Documents useful for the first review

Website and CRM data flows.
Employee documentation.
Processor and vendor agreements.
Internal access and security policies.

How we work

Identify legal bases.
