Nikolinakos & Partners Law Firm

Data Protection & Cybersecurity Compliance Foundation

Building a litigation-ready legal and governance foundation for data protection and cybersecurity.

We provide full-spectrum GDPR and privacy governance support, establishing a legally sound and technically robust compliance framework. We also provide comprehensive legal support on cybersecurity governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance, including information security frameworks, and incident preparedness.

A key pillar of our approach is Proactive Complaint and Incident Management in relation to data protection and cybersecurity matters. We work closely with legal, technical, and compliance teams to design and execute structured response processes for complaints, data breaches, and cyber incidents, ensuring rapid assessment, containment, and legally sound decision-making. Our proactive engagement with supervisory authorities and other stakeholders helps manage regulatory expectations and limit exposure to enforcement action. By addressing issues early and strategically, we reduce escalation risks, safeguard reputation, and prevent disputes before they evolve into costly investigations or litigation.

Through our collaboration with NETMODE Laboratory (NTUA), all policies, procedures, and controls are technically validated, ensuring they are not only compliant but also operationally resilient and future-proof.

Our integrated compliance framework covers the full spectrum of GDPR audits and gap assessments to RoPA management, DPO-as-a-Service, and incident readiness, while also providing structured handling of data-subject complaints and regulatory coordination. We advise on the implementation, inter alia, of the NIS2 Directive, helping our clients assess applicability, design compliance programs, allocate responsibilities, and manage supply-chain and third-party risks. We assist with breach response, regulatory notifications, and engagement with supervisory authorities, ensuring a coordinated and legally sound approach to cybersecurity incidents.

Whether you require a fully autonomous compliance solution or support that complements existing internal structures, our approach ensures risk mitigation, operational efficiency, and litigation-ready documentation. Our offering focuses on the intersection of law and technology, combining regulatory insight with a deep understanding of digital infrastructure and platform-based business models. By integrating compliance, risk, and disputes expertise, we help clients protect their operations, reputation, and trust in the digital economy.
