Privacy compliance for EU personal data
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs how organizations collect, process, store, and transfer personal data of individuals in the European Union. It emphasizes lawful basis, data subject rights, privacy by design, and accountability.
Who needs GDPR certification or compliance?
Any organization offering goods or services to EU residents, monitoring their behaviour, or processing EU personal data — regardless of where the company is headquartered.
Key requirements & topics
- Lawful basis for processing
- Data subject rights (access, erasure, portability)
- Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
- Processor agreements and cross-border transfers
- Breach notification (72-hour rule)
- Records of processing activities (RoPA)
Typical timeline
GDPR is not a certifiable standard but requires ongoing compliance. Supervisory authority investigations can happen at any time; DPIAs and RoPA should be maintained continuously.
