Independent GDPR Audit & Gap Assessment

An audit covers your whole GDPR posture — every processing activity, every system, every article that applies. A DPIA (Article 35) is a focused risk assessment for a specific high-risk processing operation — for example, before launching a new biometric authentication system. You typically need both: an audit to know where you stand, and DPIAs for individual high-risk launches.

Big 4 audits are excellent at financial controls and traditional IT audit. They tend to be expensive, slow, and weak on the operational side of GDPR — actual data-subject request pipelines, real privacy-by-design implementation, vendor-management mechanics. We move faster, cost less, and our findings are written to be acted on rather than filed.

Yes — that's the standard we write to. Our findings reports cite the relevant GDPR articles, EDPB guidelines, and (where useful) national supervisory authority guidance. When clients have been audited by regulators after our work, the audit report has consistently been treated as cooperative evidence of accountability.

Either. The audit ends with a prioritized action plan. You can take it in-house and execute, or we can stay engaged as your outsourced DPO / implementation partner to drive remediation. Many clients start with an audit, then bring us in for the highest-risk remediation items.

Most engagements run a few weeks end-to-end depending on scope (number of processing activities, complexity, number of subsidiaries). Smaller scopes can run shorter. We give you a firm timeline at the end of the scoping call.

Yes — we run pre-inspection audits regularly. The format is tighter: we focus on the documents the regulator is most likely to ask for first (Article 30 records, lawful-basis mapping, breach register, DPIAs, vendor DPAs) and pressure-test them. Pre-inspection engagements typically run faster than a full audit.
