The Challenge

GDPR Compliance Challenges

GDPR work runs on four records: a lawful basis for each purpose, a record of processing, an impact assessment for high-risk processing, and a trail of every rights request. Each of them changes whenever a system, a vendor or a purpose does.

Most teams keep them in separate spreadsheets and document folders. The record of processing drifts from how data is used, and evidence is assembled by hand when a supervisory authority or a customer asks for it.

Lawful bases left implicit

Purposes are recorded without the lawful basis each one relies on.

Assessments done late

DPIAs begin after the processing has already started.

Processors and transfers untracked

There is no single list of which processors have a signed DPA, which use sub-processors, and which transfer data outside the EU.

Tags that fire before consent

Analytics and marketing tags load before the visitor has made a choice.

FAQ

GDPR Compliance FAQ

Each vendor record captures its international transfers, the destination countries and the transfer mechanism, such as standard contractual clauses. Vendors with transfers appear on the data flow map.

No. ComplyIQ scores both GDPR and the DPDP Act, so an organization under both runs them on the same inventory.
