CO:PLAY strengthens its ranks and welcomes Christian Wiese Svanberg. Christian joins as an attorney and partner, assisting as a significant resource within cybersecurity and data protection. With an outstanding experience of over 20 years in this field, Christian is a recognized expert in navigating the complexities of modern data protection legislation and the NIS2 Directive, among others.
Experience from FE and the National Police
Christian has an impressive resume that spans the legal world and has one thing in common: it all touches on data protection in all its forms. His work as Head of the Danish National Police's Center for Data Protection and Head of Department at FE has given him a special insight into how to navigate through the most sensitive and complex cases, including advanced hacker attacks and cyber incidents.
Recognized expert in data protection, the upcoming NIS2 legislation and cybercrime
Not only is he an experienced practitioner with a no-nonsense approach to delivering services that meet the requirements of the directives, he is also a recognized expert who has contributed to the drafting of legislation, including negotiations on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) during the Danish EU Presidency in 2012. With experience from the Danish Data Protection Agency, the Ministry of Justice, the Danish police and the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (FE), Christian brings a unique background to the table that will significantly strengthen CO:PLAY's data protection advice.
As a former prosecutor for the City and High Court, he is particularly well placed to assist clients as defense counsel in criminal cases concerning data protection.
Statement from Mandeep Singh Rathour, Attorney atLaw & CEO
"Christian's competencies, personality and approach to the law fit well with CO:PLAY's DNA and focus on "the business of technology" and I am pleased personally and on behalf of the company that we will work with him to develop the company and the business and not least deliver great value to our customers. Christian is among the strongest in Denmark in his field and understands the technology he advises on, and he will lead our efforts on IT compliance, cyber security and GDPR. I expect to hear a lot more from him in the future as part of CO:PLAY and as a thought leader in his field."

"Ihave been in both the buyer and advisor role in compliance and I believe that this combination will ensure resource-efficient implementation of existing and new requirements without the extensive over-implementation that I have seen in recent years.
