On May 18, our experts conducted a specialized training session for employees of the representative office of an international pharmaceutical company.

The meeting focused on one of the hottest compliance topics: Consent as a Legal Basis for Personal Data Processing: Auditing Legacy Forms and Transitioning to New Ones.

We discussed not only theory, but also real-life cases: why outdated approaches no longer work, what mistakes are commonly made, what risks businesses face, and how to build a flawless (or nearly flawless) procedure.

What Was Covered During the Training?

Together with the client’s team, we analyzed the practical and legal nuances of handling third-party personal data, focusing on the following key issues:

• Risks and consequences: what improper collection of personal data may lead to (legal, operational, and reputational risks), and the real cost of a «defective» consent form;

• Legacy audit: reviewing existing consent forms, identifying errors and hidden vulnerabilities in current processes;

• Consent form and procedure checklist: which elements must be included in a compliant consent form and what constitutes a proper consent collection procedure;

• A new standard: how to smoothly transition to updated consent forms and implement best practices.

As a result of the training, participants received not just a dry summary of legislation and official regulatory guidance, but also a step-by-step action plan and practical recommendations.
