General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union (EU) to safeguard the privacy and security of individuals' personal data. The GDPR sets strict requirements for how organizations collect, process, store, and share personal data, with the aim of ensuring that businesses respect the rights of data subjects. Achieving GDPR compliance is crucial for organizations handling the personal data of EU citizens, whether located within the EU or globally.


What is GDPR?

GDPR is a regulation that governs how companies handle personal data, aiming to give individuals more control over their data and impose stronger obligations on organizations that process such data. The regulation applies to any business that processes personal data of EU citizens, regardless of where the business is based.

BENEFITS

Key elements of GDPR include

  • Data Subject Rights: Giving individuals rights over their personal data, such as the right to access, correct, or delete their information.
  • Consent: Organizations must obtain explicit consent to collect and process personal data.
  • Data Protection by Design and by Default: Organizations must integrate data protection measures into their processes and systems from the start.
  • Breach Notification: Companies must notify relevant authorities and affected individuals within 72 hours of discovering a data breach.
  • Data Transfers: Strict requirements are in place for transferring personal data outside of the EU, ensuring that data remains protected.

The GDPR Compliance Audit Process

1

Data Mapping and Inventory

The first step is to understand the types of personal data your organization processes, where it comes from, and how it is used. We conduct a data mapping exercise to identify data flows, storage locations, and access points.

2

Gap Analysis

We perform a detailed gap analysis to assess your current data protection practices against the requirements of GDPR. This will help identify areas where your organization may not be fully compliant.

3

Risk Assessment

We conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) to evaluate risks associated with your data processing activities. This process helps mitigate risks and ensures compliance with GDPR’s accountability and transparency principles.

4

Policy and Procedure Development

Based on the gap analysis and risk assessment, we assist in developing and updating your organization’s data protection policies, procedures, and controls to ensure they align with GDPR requirements. This includes defining processes for data subject requests, consent management, and breach notifications.

5

Internal Audit and Training

Before the formal audit, we perform an internal audit of your processes and systems to ensure that GDPR compliance measures are effectively implemented. We also provide training to your staff, ensuring they understand their roles in protecting personal data.

6

GDPR Compliance Audit

An external audit is performed to assess whether your organization’s data protection practices are fully compliant with GDPR. The audit evaluates all aspects of your data handling processes, from consent management to data security and breach response protocols.

7

Documentation and Certification

Following the audit, you will receive a detailed report outlining your compliance status and areas for improvement. While GDPR does not offer an official certification, we help ensure your organization can demonstrate compliance to relevant authorities and clients.

8

Ongoing Monitoring and Improvement

GDPR compliance is an ongoing process. We help establish regular reviews and audits to ensure your organization continues to meet the evolving data protection requirements of GDPR, including updating policies, procedures, and controls as necessary.
