What You Get

Full technical audit of your IT infrastructure for GDPR compliance. We check: data encryption at rest and in transit, access management (who has access to personal data), logging and monitoring configuration, backup correctness, and data deletion mechanisms. Result: detailed report with violations, risk levels (critical/high/medium/low), and step-by-step remediation plan. Report format matches DPO and auditor expectations.

Who Needs This

  • Companies processing EU personal data who never had a technical GDPR audit
  • Businesses preparing for a regulator inspection or DPO review
  • Organizations that experienced a data breach and need a compliance baseline
  • Companies onboarding enterprise clients that require GDPR proof

Who Buys This Service?

You should choose this service if…

  • You've received a GDPR Data Subject Access Request and don't know if you can fulfil it
  • Your DPO or legal team flagged compliance gaps
  • You're preparing for a DPA (Data Protection Authority) audit
  • You're a SaaS platform processing EU customer data and need Article 32 evidence
  • An enterprise prospect asked for your GDPR compliance documentation
  • You're a UK company needing UK GDPR compliance (post-Brexit)

Common triggering events

SAR deadline crisis

GDPR Article 15 requires response within one month. Our audit identifies data location, retention gaps, and Article 15/17/20 workflow readiness.

Investor due diligence

Series-A investors increasingly ask for GDPR audit evidence. Our Attestation gives clean proof of Article 32 compliance.

Enterprise vendor questionnaire

20+ GDPR questions in a SIG Lite or CAIQ? Bundle with our Vendor Security Questionnaire Response Service to answer both.

Post-breach regulatory inquiry

Full technical audit demonstrates due diligence during ICO or DPA investigation.

What buyers typically search for

Buyers who choose our €449 GDPR Technical Compliance Audit often first search: "GDPR audit" (2,900/mo), "GDPR compliance audit" (1,600/mo), "GDPR technical audit" (720/mo), "GDPR Article 32 audit" (320/mo), "how to prepare for GDPR audit" (480/mo).

Our audit covers all technical requirements of GDPR Article 32 (Security of processing) including encryption at rest and in transit, pseudonymisation and anonymisation, access controls and authentication, backup encryption and geo-residency, incident response readiness, and documented processes for regular testing.

Plus Article 25 (Data protection by design) and Article 30 (Records of processing).

Frequently asked questions

Will this satisfy an ICO investigation?

Our audit provides technical evidence, but an ICO investigation may require additional legal and operational documentation. We recommend combining with our Data Retention Policy (€319) and Incident Response Plan (€359) for full documentation coverage.

I'm UK-only — does this cover UK GDPR?

Yes. UK GDPR retains 99% of EU GDPR structure. Our audit covers both.

I already have Vanta / Drata — do I need this?

Vanta and Drata monitor compliance status but don't perform independent audit. Our audit provides third-party technical Attestation. Complementary, not overlapping.

How does this compare to a penetration test?

Different focus. GDPR audit = documentation + configuration + process review. Pentest = active exploitation attempt. Both are often bundled for full evidence: Focused Pentest (€1,800) + this audit = €2,249 total.

What deliverables do I get?

Written technical audit report with findings mapped to GDPR articles, signed Attestation Letter, remediation priority matrix, and a 45-minute debrief call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a GDPR audit cost?+
Our GDPR Technical Compliance Audit is €449 fixed price, delivered in 5–7 business days. UK GDPR consultancies charge £3,000–15,000 for broader assessments. Automated tools (Vanta, Drata) cost £500–2,000/month but don't provide independent audit attestation. Our audit is the most cost-effective option for Article 32 technical evidence.
How to prepare for a GDPR audit?+
Before the audit, gather: a list of all systems handling personal data (databases, CRMs, SaaS tools, backups), admin/SSH access credentials (we operate under NDA), your current privacy policy and data processing agreements, and a contact for any technical questions. The audit takes 3–5 days of our work and minimal time from your team.
What does GDPR Article 32 require?+
Article 32 requires 'appropriate technical and organisational measures' including: pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data, ongoing confidentiality/integrity/availability of processing systems, ability to restore availability after incidents, and regular testing and evaluation of security measures. Our audit checks all of these technically — not just in policy documents.
What systems do you check during the GDPR audit?+
We check all systems handling personal data: databases, CRM, email servers, backups, logs, cloud storage, SaaS services. Every system is documented with data type, volume, access list, and legal basis for processing.
Is the audit report accepted by regulators?+
Yes. The report follows the format expected by DPOs and EU data protection authorities. It includes GDPR article references for each finding and is ready to present during regulatory inspections.
Do we need to provide server access?+
Yes, we need SSH or admin access to check configurations. All access is under NDA, logged, and revoked after the audit. We can work through a VPN or bastion host if required.
How is this different from a legal GDPR audit?+
Legal audits check policies and contracts. Our audit checks the technical reality: is encryption actually configured? Are backups actually encrypted? Are deleted records actually removed from all systems? We find gaps between policy and implementation.
What if you find critical violations?+
We flag them immediately (same day) so you can start remediation before the full report is ready. Critical findings typically include unencrypted personal data, ex-employee access still active, and backups without encryption.
