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

• Lawful data governance compliance throughout the entire data lifecycle (collection → deletion) by ensuring proper measures exist concerning privacy-by-design, data mapping, data protection/privacy impact assessments, consent management, privacy policies, and third-party risk management

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