WOLF & BADGER
Our client
Wolf & Badger, a high street disruptor on a mission to solve the problems of physical retail in a digital world, had successes and growth that brought with it data assets that needed protection. Their CEO had heard good things about Aphaia through their network and came to us for help.
What they were up against
Challenges
Wolf & Badger needed to respond to UK GDPR regulations which touched their customer data, multiple brands and websites, partnerships and internal employee data.
Solution
This is what we did
Robust diagnostics
a GDPR audit swiftly clarified gaps and areas to address and feed into a bespoke compliance roadmap.
Niche data protection clout
our client wanted to plug in experts to take over this specialist area of data protection. Taking this on themselves was too much of a headache.
The Trello effect
using Trello every aspect of the roadmap was organised, with all stakeholders kept informed, accountable and on track. Progress was easy to see across the team, without the mess that can happen with email chains and working across separate systems and programmes.
