Risks associated with non-compliance with GDPR:
Fines:
The GDPR gives supervisory authorities the power to impose fines for breaches. These fines can be very high, reaching up to €20 million or 4% of an organisation’s total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. A breach may be linked to inadequate security measures, unlawful processing of data or lack of transparency towards data subjects.
Loss of clients and partners:
Data subjects have the right to protection of their personal data. If an organisation fails in this regard, it can lead to the loss of clients and business partners who want to work with trustworthy and accountable organisations.
Reputational damage:
Failure to comply with GDPR can damage an organisation’s reputation. Loss of trust from clients, partners and the public can have long-term and damaging effects on an organisation’s business and reputation.
Litigation:
Organisations that do not comply with the GDPR may face lawsuits and claims from data subjects who feel they have been harmed or their rights violated. Such lawsuits can cost an organisation time, money and cause further reputational damage.

A GDPR audit will enable a company to determine whether it is complying with all the obligations set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Ensures that the organisation complies with legal requirements regarding data protection, reducing the risk of fines and legal challenges.

GDPR audit in steps
Audit Plan:
We set the objectives and set the expectations of the audit. We will assemble the audit team and familiarize ourselves with the organisation’s processes and identify the areas to be audited.
Analysis and evaluation:
Based on documentation such as policies, contracts and other documents on the processing of personal data, we thoroughly examine processes, map the flow of personal data and assess the risks associated with processing and its impact.
Evaluation of security measures:
We assess the current arrangements for ensuring the security of personal data, including access control, encryption, backup and monitoring, thereby identifying gaps in arrangements and their continuity.
Assessment of documentation:
Assessment of documentation: We verify that the company has all required documents, including privacy policies, DPIAs, and incident records, and evaluate their compliance with GDPR.
Check contracts and data:
At this stage, we assess whether the organisation has entered into contracts with third parties that process personal data on its behalf. We carefully analyze the content of these contracts to determine whether they contain the key provisions required by the GDPR, including the organization’s security measures, processes, and rights.
Preparation of the audit report:
In this step of the GDPR audit, an important conclusion to the whole process is the production of a detailed audit report. This report is of key importance as it summarises and documents all findings, recommendations and remedial action plans arising from the audit.
