GDPR Compliance

Independent Assessment of Data Protection Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the cornerstone of data privacy in the European Union and European Economic Area. It imposes binding obligations on organizations that process the personal data of EU residents, regardless of where those organizations are based.

At CFECERT, we provide independent and objective audits to assess your organization’s compliance with GDPR requirements. Our audits help you demonstrate accountability, meet regulatory expectations, and ensure that your data protection practices are effective, documented, and continuously monitored.

Why GDPR Audits Matter

Regulators require organizations to not only comply with GDPR but to be able to demonstrate that compliance through appropriate governance, documentation, and risk-based controls.

A GDPR audit by an independent body provides:

• Evidence of accountability and due diligence (Article 5.2)

• Confidence for customers, partners, and supervisory authorities

• Identification of non-conformities and areas for corrective action

• A baseline for continual improvement of data protection maturity

Scope of Our GDPR Audit Services

Our GDPR audits are structured around the key principles and obligations of the regulation, including:

• Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency of processing

• Purpose limitation and data minimization

• Data accuracy and retention practices

• Security of processing (Article 32)

• Rights of data subjects (Articles 12–23)

• Data transfers and third-party relationships

• Documentation obligations (e.g., RoPA, DPIA, breach logs)

Each audit is tailored to the size, nature, and processing activities of the audited entity, and is conducted in accordance with recognized audit methodologies.
