Our data capabilities

Our data capabilities help organisations unlock value by shaping policies, frameworks, and partnerships that ensure data is trusted, accessible, and used responsibly to drive innovation and growth.

Policy Analysis

We interpret emerging data regulations, assess commercial impact, and craft persuasive positions that shape legislative outcomes in line with client objectives.

Regulatory Strategy

Our specialists build end-to-end compliance roadmaps, align controls with diverse jurisdictional requirements, and prepare organisations for audits and certification.

Market Shaping

Using evidence-based research and targeted communications, we position clients as responsible stewards of data, strengthening their licence to operate and customer confidence.

Stakeholder Engagement

We identify key regulators, industry bodies and civil-society actors, then create engagement plans that foster constructive dialogue and accelerate policy solutions.

Coalitions & Partnerships

By convening cross-sector alliances, we amplify shared priorities on topics such as cross-border data flows and cloud security, increasing influence and reducing advocacy risk.

Monitoring

Continuous horizon-scanning alerts clients to new laws, enforcement trends and standards developments across more than 200 jurisdictions, enabling proactive risk management.

Capacity Building & Training

We deliver workshops and toolkits that equip public- and private-sector teams with best practices in data governance, privacy engineering, and incident response.

Thought Leadership

Our analysts develop white papers, benchmarks, and indices that shape global discourse on data policy and reinforce client credibility among decision-makers
