GDPR Readiness Audit

In response to a number of clients’ concerns regarding their readiness for the new regulations we now offer a short three-day GDPR Readiness Audit including:


  • One day on-site consultation consisting of three interviews with Senior Data Protection Staff (typically your Data Protection Officer, Head of IT & one other senior manager with responsibility for compliance).
  • One day off-site document review, report generation and interview transcription
  • Half-day on site presenting your Readiness Audit Report & Recommendations to Senior Management Team

What’s different about the new regulations?

The GDPR is a sizeable directive, with three times as many articles and five times as much volume in the document. Here are some of the big changes:



  • Fines for non-compliance up to €20,000,000 or 4% of global turnover.
  • Consent can no longer be implied: it must be “freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous”.
  • Maintaining and enforcing your own organisation’s policies is now a legal requirement under the GDPR.
  • Privacy by design will be a standard in information management systems.
  • Changes to the rules about which companies must employ Data Protection Officer.

Data Protection by Design is an approach to system design which takes privacy into account throughout the whole service, product or systems design process. Protection of personal data should not be retrofitted or seen as an afterthought but instead be seen as integral to systems development. Before the first line of code is written, as a data controller you should ask the following question should be asked;


1. What does the use of personal data mean for the customer?

2. What  risks will the use of personal data pose to the fundamental rights of individuals?

3. Are the necessary technological measures in place to safeguard processing of personal data?
