Your privacy specialist
What I can do for you
Whether you need data protection assessments, GDPR training for your in-house teams, a hands-on interim expert, or just a privacy statement, you can count on me. Reach out with your legal question and I provide accessible advice, practical step-by-step plans, and clear, concise documents tailored to your needs. Is data protection in your organization handled by upcoming privacy professionals? It’s my absolute favourite to guide them in their professional development and through challenges in their jobs, leveraging my expertise and experience to help them succeed in their roles. Further services include compliance guidance, policy development, contract review, response to data subject requests and data breaches. I can also be your external data protection officer (functionaris gegevensbescherming) if organizational independence requirements can be met.
About Isabelle Wárlám
Having provided legal advice on privacy, data and marketing since 2009, I had the privilege to closely witness the increasingly rapid technological and legal developments in these fields. Together with the variety of client needs, this inspires me when assessing data-related initiatives, advising on data protection requirements for automation and drafting legal documentation. I guide organizations and their leadership through compliance projects, serve as interim data protection officer and have been a mentor for clients’ upcoming privacy professionals. My approach balances legal requirements with business interests and user expectations. I listen carefully to stakeholders, manage diverse perspectives, and think out of the box to deliver practical solutions. My clients operate in a variety of sectors, ranging from multinational corporations and law firms to startups, digital platforms and individuals.
