Our GDPR assessment evaluates your organization's data protection practices against all GDPR requirements. We review your processing activities, lawful bases, consent mechanisms, data subject rights procedures, data protection policies, vendor agreements, cross-border transfers, security measures, breach response capabilities, and governance structures. Every gap is documented with specific remediation recommendations prioritized by risk and regulatory significance.

The assessment produces a comprehensive compliance roadmap that sequences remediation activities, estimates resource requirements, and identifies quick wins that improve your compliance posture immediately. For organizations already partially compliant, we build on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch. For organizations new to GDPR, the roadmap provides a structured path from initial compliance to mature data protection operations.

Deliverables include a gap assessment report, risk-prioritized remediation plan, Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) template, and a compliance maturity scorecard.

Every processing activity requires a documented lawful basis under Article 6. Where consent is the basis, GDPR demands specific, informed, unambiguous, and freely given consent with the ability to withdraw at any time. We evaluate each of your processing activities, document the appropriate lawful basis, and implement the consent mechanisms where consent is required.

Implementation includes cookie consent platforms configured for GDPR requirements (prior consent, granular options, easy withdrawal), marketing consent capture with proper disclosure and record-keeping, consent withdrawal mechanisms that immediately stop processing, legitimate interest assessments documenting the balancing test between your interests and data subject rights, and contract-based processing documentation linking processing activities to specific contractual necessities.

We maintain consent records that demonstrate compliance during supervisory authority inquiries — including timestamps, consent text presented, and the specific processing purposes consented to.

We build the technical and operational infrastructure to handle all GDPR data subject rights: access requests (Article 15), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction (Article 18), data portability (Article 20), and objection (Article 21). Each right requires specific workflows for identity verification, data retrieval or action, exception evaluation, response generation, and documentation.

The infrastructure includes request intake forms with identity verification, systematic data retrieval from all processing systems, automated and manual response generation, exception handling for legitimate refusals (e.g., legal obligations preventing erasure), response tracking to ensure the one-month deadline is met, and complete audit trails for accountability. For organizations with complex data landscapes, we integrate with privacy management platforms that automate request routing and data discovery across multiple systems.

We also prepare your organization to handle requests that involve your processors — ensuring data processing agreements include provisions for processor cooperation with data subject requests and that operational procedures exist for coordinating multi-party responses.

Transferring personal data outside the EEA requires a valid transfer mechanism under Chapter V of GDPR. The post-Schrems II landscape requires organizations to evaluate not just the legal mechanism but the actual level of data protection in the recipient country. We implement compliant transfer frameworks including EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification assessment, Standard Contractual Clauses (new modular SCCs) with required supplementary measures, Transfer Impact Assessments evaluating recipient country legal frameworks, technical supplementary measures such as encryption and pseudonymization, and organizational measures including access restrictions and data handling procedures.

For organizations with complex transfer patterns — multiple entities, sub-processors in various countries, cloud infrastructure spanning regions — we map all transfer flows, identify the appropriate mechanism for each, and implement a transfer governance framework that ensures ongoing compliance as your data processing landscape evolves.

We monitor regulatory developments affecting transfer mechanisms and notify you of any changes requiring action, such as new adequacy decisions, updated SCC requirements, or supervisory authority guidance on supplementary measures.

Article 35 requires Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for processing activities likely to result in high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms. This includes systematic monitoring of public areas, large-scale processing of special category data, automated decision-making with legal effects, and new technologies applied to personal data processing. Failure to conduct a required DPIA is itself a GDPR violation subject to enforcement action.

We conduct DPIAs that systematically describe the processing, assess its necessity and proportionality, identify risks to data subjects, and define measures to mitigate those risks. Our DPIA methodology follows the Article 29 Working Party guidelines and incorporates supervisory authority expectations for documentation quality and risk assessment rigor.

For organizations launching new products, services, or processing activities, we integrate DPIA requirements into your project development lifecycle so data protection considerations are addressed before processing begins, not after a supervisory authority inquiry.

GDPR requires notification to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms. When the breach is likely to result in high risk, affected data subjects must also be notified without undue delay. These timelines are aggressive, and organizations unprepared for breach response routinely miss them.

We build and test breach response capabilities that include detection mechanisms through our managed cybersecurity services (SIEM, EDR, network monitoring), breach assessment procedures that evaluate scope, affected data categories, and risk to individuals, supervisory authority notification templates and procedures, data subject notification templates and communication plans, forensic investigation and containment procedures, documentation requirements for the breach register (mandatory under Article 33(5)), and post-incident review and remediation.

Annual tabletop exercises test your team's ability to detect, assess, contain, and report breaches within GDPR timelines, identifying gaps in your response capabilities before a real incident exposes them.
