A Technical Approach to Data Protection

Aura DPO was founded by Gislene Drosdek, a senior software engineer with over 25 years of experience leading complex, data-driven projects across finance, commerce, and digital environments.

Unlike traditional data protection consultants, her expertise is rooted in real system implementation, not only regulatory interpretation.

This means:

• Understanding exactly where personal data is stored, processed, and exposed
• Identifying technical and operational risks that are often overlooked
• Translating GDPR requirements into practical, enforceable solutions

This is critical, because most GDPR failures happen at the technical and operational level, not at the policy level.

The Reality of GDPR Compliance

Most organizations believe they are compliant because they have:

• Privacy policies
• Legal documentation
• Internal procedures

This creates a false sense of compliance — one of the biggest risks for companies operating in the European Union.

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
