Protecting Intellectual Property (IP) and Commercially Sensitive Information (CSI) is critical to successful business continuity. When the context of an acquisition or divestment is one of high scrutiny by a legal or regulatory framework, a robust and granular auditable and accountable data separation process is warranted.

At BDO we provide a framework that aligns your business, legal, technology and operational needs with the creation, use and management of data and information; while ensuring the theoretical framework can be practically implemented across the business.
