Aphaia has helped a leading online music broadcasting platform achieve compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive. After conducting a GDPR gap analysis and ePrivacy gap analysis to identify areas where the company was not compliant with the regulations, Aphaia provided specific, actionable recommendations on how to address these issues.
