GDPR Assessment
Determine if your business is GDPR Proof and assess your Privacy level
GDPR Assessment: assess your privacy compliance
Every company that processes personal data must be sure that the company’s procedures are GDPR compliant. A GDPR Assessment is the best starting point to assess your level of compliance with the GDPR and other relevant Data Privacy legislation. In conducting it, we provide you with:
- A clearer insight into your current compliance level
- An analysis of all relevant privacy documents, such as
- Privacy Policy
- Privacy and Cookie Statement
- Retention Policy
- Data Breach Procedure
- A clear starting point for improvement
This way you discover the risks your organization is facing in relation to privacy and data protection and to effectively solve them. However, this is not a one-time Assessment. Processes change, knowledge dissipates and new systems (and privacy laws) are introduced. It is therefore recommended to conduct an Assessment of your privacy level at least once a year, to stay up to date with your company’s GDPR compliance. Our flexible approach will allow you to go more in depth than a traditional GDPR Assessment, as it goes beyond mere formal compliance and aims at performance improvement.
Why perform a GDPR Assessment?
In the digital era, a GDPR Assessment is essential to keep your organization on track amid the rapid growth of data-driven technologies, privacy regulations, and growing concerns about personal data privacy. It is a concrete application of the accountability principle, stated in the GDPR, as it helps you to answer the following questions:
- Are personal data processed lawfully?
- Are my processing activities GDPR-compliant?
- Are there policies and procedures in place to quickly and effectively handle data breaches or access requests from data subjects?
“If you want to seriously tackle privacy and data protection, an assessment is the logical first step to determine what to do.”
