With every data-driven technology transaction she’s involved in, Karachi Achilihu carefully considers the legalities surrounding the privacy and security of the data involved in those deals. As data protection counsel, Karachi advises her clients on:

• Contractual compliance with applicable data privacy laws (e.g., the GDPR, CCPA, GLBA, HIPAA, EU-US DPF, & EU Data Act) governing the use, collection, processing, and sharing of personal data within the information privacy domain

• Contractual alignment with data security standards (e.g., SOC2 Type I or II, NIST CSF, ISO 27001/27701, DORA, & PCI DSS) and relevant administrative, physical, technical, and organizational measures designed to ensure the security of data

• Data privacy compliance from collection → deletion by ensuring proper measures exist concerning privacy-by-design considerations, DPIAs + PIAs + TIAs, privacy policies, DSARs, and third-party data risk management

By promoting trustworthy data protection practices, Karachi helps organizations commercialize privacy and data security considerations during technology transactions — enabling compliance with evolving laws in cross-border, digital environments.
