Our company, by its specifics, carries out many activities that involve the processing of personal data, both of its own employees. Thus, in 2019, following a selection of offers, I chose the company represented by Mr. Bratu as a consulting provider in the field for all SSG group companies.
Both the superior quality of the teaching material provided and the promptness of its delivery, the seriousness of the collaborators he chose for implementation, recommend Mr. Bratu as a reliable partner with consummate professionalism and whose deliverables meet high quality standards.
I particularly point out the recommendations and solutions presented for the IT infrastructure, website and information technology aspects that were combined with the expansion of our headquarters and implicitly the related infrastructure. Another aspect worth noting is the ease of identifying the GDPR issue with the specifics of our activity.
Considering the knowledge he has, the management and experience necessary to carry out the activity in this field, I recommend Mr. Mădălin Bratu in view of future collaborations.
