For clients engaged in international operations, we provide analyses of data protection frameworks and recommend measures that ensure cross-border data flows remain compliant and sustainable.

The Zunic Law team bridges legal compliance and information security in accordance with standards such as NIS2, DORA, and ISO, helping companies strengthen technical protection measures, enhance operational resilience, and reduce the risk of penalties and cyber threats.
For organizations without an internal Data Protection Officer (DPO), we offer the service of an external DPO who ensures compliance on behalf of the client and handles communication with supervisory authorities.
We also provide a Data Protection Representative service for companies outside the EU. The representative acts as a contact point for EU citizens and relevant supervisory authorities.
Zunic Law additionally organizes Data Protection Training Programs, which include GDPR training for employees. The program is designed for two participant groups, managers and employees, with the goal of enabling staff to handle personal data safely and responsibly.
