What Is GDPR — and Does It Apply to You?

GDPR is the world's most comprehensive data protection law. It applies to any organisation — regardless of where it's based — that processes personal data of individuals in the EU or EEA. EU customers, EU employees, or a website collecting data from EU visitors — GDPR applies. Enforcement is real. Supervisory authorities have issued over €4.5 billion in fines since 2018, targeting companies of every size. Beyond penalties, a breach destroys consumer trust in markets where data handling directly influences buying decisions.

Key Highlights

  • Applies globally to any organisation handling EU/EEA resident data
  • Every processing activity requires a documented lawful basis
  • Data breaches must be reported to supervisory authorities within 72 hours
  • Eight data subject rights must be operationalised — access, erasure, portability, and more

Our GDPR Process

01

Personal Data Inventory & Data Mapping

We map every personal data flow across your organisation — what's collected, where it's stored, who accesses it, and every third party it's shared with. Output is your Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), mandatory under Article 30.

02

Lawful Basis Assessment

We review each processing activity and document the applicable lawful basis under Article 6 — including legitimate interests balancing tests and compliant consent mechanisms where required.

03

Gap Assessment

We assess your current data practices against all GDPR obligations — notice requirements, data subject rights, security measures, and transfer mechanisms — and produce a risk-ranked action plan.

04

Privacy Notices & Documentation

We build GDPR-compliant privacy notices, cookie policies, data retention schedules, and DPIA templates — written for your actual processing activities, not copied from generic sources.

05

Data Subject Rights Programme

We implement end-to-end workflows for access, erasure, portability, and objection requests — covering intake, identity verification, statutory response timers, and documentation.

06

Vendor & Processor Management

We audit all third-party data relationships, execute Data Processing Agreements with every processor, and identify the correct international transfer mechanism for each cross-border data flow.

07

Governance & Ongoing Management

We establish your Data Protection Management System — staff training, annual ROPA reviews, breach response procedures, and DPO support — sustaining your programme through regulatory changes and business growth.

Business Impact

Why Organisations Choose Norvex for GDPR ?

EU Market Access

A documented GDPR programme lets you process EU/EEA data lawfully — satisfying enterprise buyers, regulators, and privacy-aligned markets globally.

Reduced Regulatory Exposure

Structured, documented data practices reduce the likelihood of supervisory action. Organisations that demonstrate accountability consistently fare better in regulatory investigations.

Consumer & Partner Trust

Transparent data practices build trust in privacy-conscious markets — where data handling is a direct factor in B2B and B2C purchase decisions.

Multi-Regulation Foundation

A well-built GDPR programme creates the governance base for UK GDPR, Singapore PDPA, India DPDP Act, and UAE PDPL — reducing duplication across jurisdictions.

Breach Response Readiness

A documented breach plan with a clear 72-hour notification workflow protects you from compounding penalties — how you respond matters as much as the breach itself.

Procurement Requirement Coverage

Enterprise buyers in financial services, healthcare, and government audit supplier GDPR posture during vendor onboarding. Documented controls remove a common deal blocker.

GDPR's 4 Key Obligations — What They Cover and Why They Matter

These 4 obligations form the compliance backbone of your data protection programme. Norvex Assurance helps you assess, implement, and document each requirement — from lawful basis mapping to your complete accountability framework.

Lawfulness & Transparency

Articles 5–9 & 13–14

Every processing activity needs a documented lawful basis. Privacy notices must be clear and specific. We map your lawful bases and build the notices and consent mechanisms your obligations require.

Data Subject Rights

Articles 15–22

Eight rights — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. We build your complete request workflow: intake, verification, fulfilment, and documentation within statutory timeframes.

Data Protection by Design

Articles 25 & 35

Privacy must be embedded into systems from the start — not retrofitted. High-risk processing requires a DPIA before it begins. We conduct assessments and integrate privacy-by-design into your product workflows.

Accountability & Governance

Articles 24, 30 & 37–39

Compliance must be demonstrated, not just claimed — through a maintained ROPA, a DPO where required, and governance structures that sustain the programme over time.

What Our Clients Say

"We process employee data for clients across 12 EU countries. Norvex Assurance built our GDPR compliance programme from scratch — data mapping, DPAs with every processor, and a rights request workflow that our enterprise clients audit. We've passed every customer GDPR review since."

Chief Privacy Officer

HR Technology Platform — Series B

"A supervisory authority inquiry arrived completely unexpectedly. Norvex Assurance had built our compliance programme six months earlier — we had the ROPA, the processing records, and the breach response documentation ready immediately. The inquiry closed without action."

VP of Engineering

E-Commerce SaaS — Series A

"GDPR in adtech is genuinely complex. Norvex Assurance understood consent chains, legitimate interests balancing, and the nuances of cross-border data flows in a way that generalist lawyers simply don't. Our programme is technically sound and commercially practical."
