GDPR Compliance Audit

GDPR Compliance Audit evaluates how effectively your organisation meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation, identifying compliance gaps and providing a structured remediation roadmap. The audit examines data processing practices, legal basis documentation, technical and organisational measures, and governance structures across your entire operation. It is designed for SaaS companies, software businesses, and organisations processing EU personal data that need to demonstrate GDPR compliance to clients, regulators, or investors. The methodology applies to any technology stack, with specific assessment depth for Python/Django applications covering data flow implementation, consent mechanisms, data subject rights automation, and privacy-by-design patterns in application code.

What are the results of this service?

The audit delivers a GDPR Compliance Gap Matrix evaluating your organisation against key articles: Art.5 (processing principles), Art.6 (lawful basis), Art.13-14 (transparency), Art.25 (data protection by design), Art.28 (processor obligations), Art.30 (records of processing), Art.32 (security measures), and Art.35 (DPIA readiness). For each article, the assessment documents current implementation status, identifies gaps, and scores compliance maturity. Deliverables include a Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) quality assessment evaluating completeness and accuracy against Art.30 requirements, a Data Processing Agreement chain analysis reviewing all processor and sub-processor relationships under Art.28, a privacy notice compliance review checking transparency obligations under Art.13-14, a technical and organisational measures assessment under Art.32, and DPIA readiness evaluation under Art.35. For SaaS companies specifically, the audit addresses multi-tenant data isolation, customer data processing boundaries, API data exposure patterns, and cross-border transfer mechanisms relevant to serving EU customers. The final output is a risk-prioritised remediation roadmap with ownership assignments, timelines, and an executive summary suitable for board reporting or client due diligence responses.
