A small and leanly resourced legal department at a midsize insurance company urgently needed to ensure General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. Leveraging Gartner research and advisory support, the client gained the confidence of the board by quickly implementing a strong GDPR program, avoiding risk of significant GDPR noncompliance fines.
Mission-critical priority
The director of legal affairs and compliance was tasked with rolling out a GDPR program quickly on her own. Adding headcount or internal resources wasn’t an option.
How Gartner helped

This helped the client accelerate the creation of a high-quality strategy to address new regulations and benchmark against peers to identify gaps in its privacy policy. Leveraging our expertise in data privacy compliance and advisory support, the client was able to create a data breach response plan and roll out a strong GDPR compliance program.
