GDPR Gap Analysis

Understand your GDPR compliance requirements

Our data protection consultants will assess your organisation’s privacy management and data protection practices through an on-site review of the following areas:

1. Data protection governance – the extent to which data protection accountability, responsibility, policies and procedures, performance measurement controls, and reporting mechanisms to monitor compliance are in place and operating throughout your organisation.
2. Risk management – your organisation’s arrangements for privacy risk management, the extent to which information-specific risks are incorporated into corporate risk management, and the extent to which risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects are addressed.
3. GDPR project resourcing – the extent to which your organisation has implemented an appropriately staffed, funded and supported GDPR compliance programme.
4. DPO (data protection officer) – whether your organisation is required to appoint a DPO, whether one has been appointed and, if so, whether they meet the Regulation’s requirements.
5. Roles and responsibilities – the extent to which your organisation has defined and established appropriate roles and responsibilities, and delivered appropriate training and awareness.
6. Scope of compliance – whether your organisation has clearly defined the scope of its GDPR compliance, taking account of all data processing in which it has a part, whether as data controller or processor, as well as any data sharing.
7. Personal data processes – the extent to which each of the GDPR’s data processing principles are established for each process that involves personal data, whether a lawful basis for processing has been identified and documented for each, and whether a DPIA (data protection impact assessment) is mandatory under the Regulation.
8. PIMS (personal information management system) – whether your organisation has implemented a PIMS that documents its GDPR compliance, and addresses staff training and awareness.
9. ISMS (information security management system) – whether your organisation has implemented an ISMS to meet the GDPR’s requirements for “appropriate technical and organisational measures” in order to ensure the security of the personal data it processes.
10. Rights of data subjects – the processes your organisation has implemented to facilitate and respond to data subjects exercising their rights under the GDPR.
