Mosaic assisted one bank with all their technical projects including the use of technologies such as data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

A typical deliverable from a privacy by design engagement by Mosaic is a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).

Mosaic has also developed bespoke training seminars for customers in scientific research and GDPR.
