Overview
Restructured the English-language content and information architecture of Datatilsynet's website as the regulator deepened cooperation with international counterparts.
Who This Is For
Global manufacturing, chemicals, or industrial organisations with 10,000-50,000+ employees across multiple business units. Seeking to develop a coherent digital services strategy that identifies where digital can create commercial value for customers and differentiates the organisation from competitors.
The Challenge
Datatilsynet, Norway's national data protection regulator, was entering closer cooperation with international organisations with similar mandates and needed its English-language pages, covering topics like cloud services, encryption and workplace privacy, restructured to serve international businesses operating in Norway and staff at peer regulators such as the UK's ICO.
Our Approach
We scoped and reworked a defined set of existing English pages, including cloud services, encryption, and email and file access rights, and delivered a full English content structure document defining a new navigation model (News, Contact Us, Publications, Regulations, Guidelines, Policies, Reports), built on an as-is-versus-to-be page comparison and a competitive analysis against peer regulators like the UK's Information Commissioner's Office.
Impact
The restructuring gave an international audience, foreign businesses operating in Norway and staff at peer data protection authorities, a clearer, more navigable entry point into Datatilsynet's guidance, aligned with how comparable regulators structure their own English content.

Dries Buytaert: The cost of running multiple CMS platforms
Dries Buytaert argues that running multiple CMS platforms creates hidden operational costs through duplicated integrations, security policies, expertise, and governance. He proposes standardizing on Drupal while using different operating models—SaaS (Acquia Source) for speed and PaaS (Acquia Cloud) for control—to preserve flexibility while reducing fragmentation.
