GDPR Compliance · EU Data Protection

GDPR compliance for companies serving Europe

If you offer products or services to people in the EU, the GDPR applies to you. We map your data, fix consent and rights handling, prepare you for breach reporting and leave you with a documented programme you can show customers, partners and regulators.

Why it helps you grow

Europe is a market — paperwork is the entry fee

Non-compliance risks fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Compliance turns that risk into a sales asset.

Opens the EU market

EU customers, partners and app stores expect GDPR-conform processing before they trust you with their users' data.

Passes vendor security reviews

Enterprise buyers ask for Data Processing Agreements and evidence of safeguards — documented compliance answers them in one round.

Reduces regulatory risk

Knowing what personal data you hold, why and where — and having a breach plan — is what turns a bad day into a managed incident.

Builds user trust

Clear notices, honest consent and fast rights handling are what European users judge you by — reviews and churn reflect it.

Overlaps with DPDP and ISO 27001

Most GDPR controls also serve India's DPDP Act and an ISO 27001 ISMS. One programme, three obligations met.

Documented for every future deal

Records of processing, DPAs and assessments written once and kept current — not rebuilt for each contract.

In plain language

What the GDPR actually asks you to do

The General Data Protection Regulation protects the personal data of people in the European Union. It applies to organisations inside the EU — and to organisations outside the EU that offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour.

At its core it asks six things: collect personal data lawfully and fairly; use it only for stated purposes; keep it accurate and no longer than needed; secure it technically and organisationally; respect people's rights over their data; and be able to demonstrate all of the above.

GDPR compliance is not something we or anyone else can certify you for — it is demonstrated by your practices and records. We build those with you, then show you exactly where you stand.

Does it apply to us?

If EU users are your users, yes

A simple test: do you offer goods or services to people in the EU — in English or any EU language, with EU pricing, .eu domains or EU marketing — or do you track their behaviour online? If yes, the GDPR applies to that processing.

We confirm your specific scope during the gap assessment. If the GDPR does not apply to you, we will say so — no engagement needed.
The obligations

Eight requirements, mapped to your reality

The regulation is long. For most product and SaaS companies, the work concentrates in these eight areas.

Foundation

Lawful basis and consent

Every processing purpose has a lawful basis — consent, contract, legitimate interest or others — and consent, where used, is freely given, specific and withdrawable.

Transparency

Privacy notices

Plain-language notices telling people what you collect, why, who gets it, how long you keep it and how to reach you.

People's rights

Data subject rights

Working processes for access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability requests — answered within the required time.

Accountability

Records of processing

A living register of what data you process, where it flows and who is responsible — the first document regulators and auditors ask for.

High-risk processing

Data protection impact assessments

Structured assessments before high-risk processing — large-scale profiling, sensitive data, new technologies — with risks reduced before you launch.

Incidents

Breach notification

Detection, severity assessment and a playbook for notifying the supervisory authority within 72 hours — and affected people when the risk is high.

Vendors

Processor agreements

Data Processing Agreements with everyone who handles personal data for you, plus assessments of what your processors do.

Transfers

International transfers

Safeguards — standard contractual clauses and transfer assessments — when personal data leaves the EEA, including to India.

The service, step by step

Six steps to a demonstrable programme

Each step produces documents and processes your team actually uses — not a binder for a shelf.

01

Data discovery and mapping

We document what personal data you collect, why, where it is stored, who can access it, how long you keep it and where it flows — including every processor. You get the records of processing activity, the foundation every other step builds on.

02

Lawful basis and consent review

We review each processing purpose against lawful bases, fix consent flows so they are genuinely withdrawable and unbundled, and rewrite notices in plain language. You get compliant notices and consent patterns — so marketing and product stop guessing.

03

Rights request workflows

We design intake, identity verification, fulfilment and escalation processes for access, erasure and the other rights, and build them into your tools. You get working workflows with deadlines tracked — not inbox chaos when requests arrive.

04

Security safeguards and testing

Technical and organisational measures — access control, encryption, logging — reviewed and implemented, with our VAPT team testing your applications and cloud as evidence the safeguards work. You get tested controls and a report you can hand to a buyer.

05

Processors, transfers and breach playbook

We review and draft Data Processing Agreements, apply transfer safeguards where data leaves the EEA, and write your breach playbook — detection, assessment, the 72-hour clock and notification templates. You get contracts and a rehearsed plan.

06

Gap report, training and roadmap

A mock assessment finds what is still open; short training sessions make sure your team can keep it running. You get a final gap report with a prioritised roadmap — and ongoing support if you want us to stay involved.

Do it once, satisfy many

GDPR, DPDP and ISO 27001 share the same foundation

An Indian company often faces the DPDP Act for its home market, the GDPR for its EU users and an ISO 27001 or SOC 2 request from its customers. The underlying work — data mapping, access control, encryption, breach response, vendor management — is largely the same.

We build one programme with shared evidence, so obligations reinforce each other instead of becoming three separate projects with three separate vendors.

Practical overlap

Where the programmes meet

Data mapping feeds records of processing and the asset register. Access control and encryption serve security safeguards everywhere. Breach response serves every regime's notification rules. Vendor assessments cover processors and suppliers alike.

Who benefits most

Built for businesses with European users or clients

SaaS with EU users

European customers, resellers and app marketplaces ask for DPAs and compliance evidence before signing.

E-commerce shipping to Europe

Order data, marketing lists and cookies all fall in scope when you sell to EU consumers.

Edtech and online learning

Learner data and progress records are personal data wherever your learners are — including the EU.

Health and wellness apps

Health-related personal data attracts heightened expectations for security and transparency.

BPO and service providers

Processing EU personal data on behalf of clients makes you a processor — with contractual and technical obligations.

Marketing and adtech teams

Consent, profiling and cross-border flows are where marketing programmes most often fall short.

Privacy

GDPR compliance you can show

We map your data, fix consent and rights handling, prepare you for breach reporting and leave you with a documented programme you can show customers and regulators.

FAQs

GDPR questions, answered

It can. The GDPR applies to organisations outside the EU that offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour. We confirm your scope in the gap assessment — and if it does not apply, we will say so.

No official "GDPR certificate" exists. Compliance is demonstrated through your practices and records. We build those with you and show you exactly where you stand.

Generally within 72 hours of becoming aware, to the supervisory authority — and without undue delay to affected people when the risk is high. Your playbook includes the decision steps and notification templates.

People can ask for access to their data, correction, erasure, restriction, objection to certain processing and portability to another provider. We build the workflows so your team can answer within the required time.

In some cases — for example large-scale systematic monitoring or large-scale processing of special-category data. We assess whether the requirement applies to you during the gap assessment and advise accordingly.

They overlap heavily — consent, transparency, security, rights and breach response appear in both — but details differ, such as definitions, exemptions and timelines. We build one programme with shared evidence and flag the differences.

Yes — security safeguards, access control, supplier management and incident response from an ISO 27001 ISMS or SOC 2 programme satisfy much of the GDPR's security and accountability expectations. They do not replace consent and rights work, which we handle separately.

Most small and mid-sized product companies reach a demonstrable state in 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the number of products, systems and processors in scope. We confirm a fixed-scope plan and price after the gap assessment.
