On this occasion, we would like to remind you that some data responsible companies, individuals or organizations think that all legal obligations are fulfilled by only registering with Verbis. However, the obligation to register with Verbis is only one of the hundreds of obligations you have under the KVK law. Fulfilling the legal obligations under the Personal Data Protection Law is a team work that requires a good analysis on a sectoral basis first and then serious preparation, from personnel training to providing documentation, to embedding the concept of personal data into the company culture. This requires a systematic study and a study that brings together both the strengthening of the legal infrastructure and analysis and solution proposals in terms of information infrastructure. For this, the necessary work must be done under the leadership of a law firm that is expert in the subject. You can contact K&P Legal for this.
