General Data Protection Regulation – what is your GDPR compliance score?

How ready are you for GDPR, set to come into force on 25 May? Has your organisation implemented all possible technical measures to protect people’s data? What still needs to be done to prepare for GDPR day? VinciWorks’ GDPR compliance assessment will help your staff assess where they stand in their compliance with the new regulations and what still needs to be done.

Have you conducted any GDPR focused data audits? Have you updated privacy notices for GDPR? These are just two of the questions that will come up in the assessment. Upon completion, the assessment will return one of four ratings, with an exact percentage score.

How are you managing your GDPR compliance requirements?

GDPR added a significant compliance burden on DPOs and data processors. Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours, each new data processing activity needs to be documented and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) must be carried out for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Penalties for breaching GDPR can reach into the tens of millions of Euros.
