Policy Support That Reduces Risk and Strengthens Governance

Naomi Korn Associates helps organisations create, review, and embed practical policies and procedures that support compliance with copyright, data protection, and wider intellectual property obligations.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving what you already have, we work with you to develop frameworks that align with legal standards, reduce risk, and build internal confidence – from board-level strategy to day-to-day implementation.

Copyright Policies & Procedures

We support organisations in managing copyright effectively – especially when publishing, digitising collections, commissioning works, or reusing third-party content.

Our work ensures you have the internal tools to confidently manage rights, reduce infringement risk, and meet your legal and ethical obligations.

Whether you’re a museum digitising its collection or a university sharing research outputs, we help you take control of your copyright environment.

Support typically includes:

Reviewing and amending existing copyright policy frameworks
Drafting new policies and procedures aligned to sector needs
Creating risk management plans for rights clearance and reuse
Infringement policies and response protocols
Notice-and-takedown procedures for digital content
Guidance on open access, licensing, and orphan works

Data Protection Policies & Procedures

Robust, well-understood data protection policies play an essential role in demonstrating to employees, customers, and stakeholders that you effectively manage and prioritise data protection issues.

We help you develop and embed governance frameworks that ensure consistency, build internal awareness, and support good decision-making across your organisation.

Our team works with you to ensure your documentation is not only legally sound but also practical, accessible, and relevant to your sector.

Support typically includes:

Reviewing existing policies and identifying compliance gaps
Drafting and updating key documentation (e.g. Data Protection Policy, Records Management Policy, DPIA templates)
Creating or refining risk frameworks and escalation procedures
Data breach response protocols and incident logging processes
SAR and information access procedures
Staff guidance and awareness materials
Board-level reporting and integration with wider governance

Start Building Your Policy Framework

Whether you need a full set of compliance policies or just help improving your existing documents, we’re here to support you at every stage.

We have benefitted from both training courses as well as consultation on a number of our copyright agreements and licences. The training has been well structured, accessible and delivered in a relaxed and friendly manner that has helped us make sense of a potentially confusing topic.
