Article 27
Representation was set up to help address the challenges that many small and
medium sized organisations in the UK and EEA will face, as well as those in the
rest of the world, because of the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
Whether you supported the decision to leave or not, the
reality is that organisations in both the EU and UK have until now been part of
the same data privacy regime. However, after departing the EU, the UK will
become a “third country” with a separate regime from both a data privacy and
protection perspective.
However, even though we are starting off from a position of
having the same standards and regulations, we will not automatically have
“equivalence” with the EU. Therefore businesses and other organisations will
have to ensure compliance.
This means that UK organisations who hold and/or process
the personal data of EEA citizens must have a presence or appoint a
representative in the EU who will act on their behalf.
Larger organisations and businesses will probably have an
office that they can register as their European office.
But for others, particularly smaller organisations, this is
not a realistic or affordable option, which is why Article 27 Representation
exists.
We believe that businesses and organisations should not
have to be burdened any more than is necessary because of this decision.
Our mantra is to “make compliance affordable”, so that you
can continue to operate from almost the same position as before the UK left and
with minimal impact to your organisation’s profitability or costs.
What makes us the
ideal partner?
Our leadership team have over twenty years’ experience of
setting up and developing efficient, cost effective solutions. Because of this
we have earned ourselves an outstanding reputation for establishing operations
which offer the highest standards of rigour and compliance.
At Article 27 Representation, we go the extra mile to
ensure that our processes and systems are robust and scalable, so that our
clients can put every confidence in us to deliver the right level of service and
support, reliably and consistently.
Why are we
different?
We see your decision to appoint Article 27 Representation
as an emphatic statement of your commitment to your European customers and
partners; that you value them are will be there for them.
Unlike other organisations offering these services, we are
building for scale.
We want our customers and clients to know that we are a
business that is fully committed to a continuous journey to keep improving our
services and operations.
We intend to offer new innovative products and services
that will help your business and organisation to seamlessly adapt to the new
reality post-Brexit.
That’s because we don’t believe that it’s a privileged few
that should be paying a premium price in order to be represented and compliant.
Instead, we believe that it is the right of every
organisation to have access a quality service offered at a competitive price.
Selecting Article 27 Representation means that you are
choosing a partner with a vision and mission; to serve its clients faithfully
and ensure that they properly represented by a partner who values the confidence
and trust that has been placed in them.
