GDPR Assessment

What is GDPR Assessment?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU’s comprehensive data privacy law that imposes strict requirements on data controllers and processors to protect natural persons’ personal data and privacy. A GDPR Assessment evaluates an organization’s compliance posture, identifying gaps against GDPR’s principles, rights, and obligations.
