In a data-driven economy, GDPR compliance is often viewed as a costly obligation.
At afina, we see it differently – as a strategic ‘risk to revenue’ initiative, an approach spearheaded by our Chief Intellectual Property Officer, Nick Borovikov.
🟡 We believe that focusing on the business value created by regulatory compliance outweighs the necessary costs.
As Nick explains:
“We framed the project as risk-to-revenue. GDPR compliance directly helps accelerate sales cycles, strengthen corporate customer trust, and enhances our clients’ position in a market where both users and regulators want transparency and accessibility. “
🟡 At the same time, proactive regulatory compliance significantly reduces operational and financial risks:
“Incidents, leaks, unauthorised exports and non-compliant integrations cost more than any compliance programme.”
Moreover, “the GDPR ensures operational discipline. Clear records of processing, structured policies, and configured access rules all enable consistent decisions and create an ecosystem where everything can be tracked, evaluated, and, if necessary, corrected.”
For afina’s clients, confidentiality is the foundation of sustainable growth.
