Aviation Data Protection | AviaPro Consulting

Our Capabilities

Protect Passenger Trust. Ensure Regulatory Confidence. Future-Proof Your Airline.

We operationalize GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, ISO 27701 (PIMS), ISO 27001, ICAO cyber guidance principles and Global Aviation Data Governance Standards across the aviation systems that power your operations — securing passenger, crew, and operational data across Passenger Service System (PSS), Departure Control Systems (DCS), Advance Passenger Information System (APIS)/ Passenger Name Record (PNR), loyalty platforms, Human Resources (HR) systems, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) environments, and biometric workflows.

In today’s regulatory and geopolitical landscape, privacy is no longer a legal checkbox — it is a strategic operational requirement.
