Steps

Data protection violations can lead to significant financial penalties and reputational damage for organizations. In addition, affected individuals may assert substantial compensation claims, often ranging from several hundred to several thousand euros per affected person. A Data Privacy Audit helps identify gaps in your data protection processes and provides independent verification of your technical and organizational measures in accordance with GDPR requirement.

This module combines a GDPR-focused privacy audit with an external security assessment of your public-facing IT infrastructure. The goal is to support your organization in demonstrating appropriate technical and organizational measures (“TOMs”) according to GDPR and applicable data protection regulations.
