When our company began handling personal data for EU customers, we quickly realized that GDPR compliance was not something we could overlook. The requirements under the General Data Protection Regulation are strict, and businesses operating in Lithuania — or processing data of EU residents — must follow rules that protect user privacy, data security, and transparency. Because the stakes were high, we decided to seek expert support from ECOVIS, and that choice made a huge difference in how confidently we approached our data protection obligations.
From the very first consultation, the ECOVIS team demonstrated deep knowledge of GDPR and how it applies in Lithuania and across the European Union. Rather than simply giving us generic checklists, they took time to understand how our company collects, stores, processes, and transfers personal data. Their analysis helped us identify areas where we were compliant and areas that needed improvement.
One of the first steps they guided us through was documenting our data processing activities. ECOVIS helped us create a detailed register of how we use personal data, what legal basis we rely on, where data is stored, and who has access. This exercise not only helped with compliance — it also gave our internal teams a clear understanding of our privacy footprint.
ECOVIS also supported us in drafting or updating critical GDPR documentation, including privacy notices, consent statements, data retention policies, and data breach response plans. Every document was reviewed carefully to ensure it met legal standards and was easy for customers and employees to understand. Their attention to detail ensured we were protecting privacy and communicating it clearly.
One of the most valuable aspects of working with them was their guidance on data subject rights. Whether it was access requests, correction requests, or deletion demands, ECOVIS helped us build processes that ensured timely and compliant responses. This significantly reduced our risk of regulatory penalties and strengthened our commitment to user privacy.
Communication with authorities and internal stakeholders was straightforward because ECOVIS explained complex GDPR requirements in practical, plain language. Their team made sure we understood why certain practices were required and how to implement them in a way that worked for our business model.
Thanks to their support, our approach to GDPR compliance became structured, transparent, and defensible. What once felt like a maze of legal obligations became a clear, manageable part of our operations.
