GDPR Compliance That Protects Your EU Market Access — and Keeps Regulators Off Your Back
Norvex Assurance builds privacy-by-design data protection programmes that satisfy the EU General Data Protection Regulation — and its equivalents in the UK, Singapore, India, and UAE — so you can process personal data with confidence and expand into regulated markets without legal exposure.
GDPR Compliance Programme
End-to-end managed service
The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is the world's most comprehensive data protection law. It applies to any organization — regardless of where it is headquartered — that processes personal data of individuals in the European Union or European Economic Area. That means if you have EU customers, EU employees, or a website that collects data from EU visitors, GDPR applies to you. Enforcement is real and escalating. Supervisory authorities across the EU have issued over €4.5 billion in GDPR fines since 2018, with penalties targeting companies of all sizes. Beyond fines, a GDPR breach destroys consumer trust and generates reputational damage that takes years to recover from.
Not sure if you need GDPR?
Talk to one of our experts — free, no obligation.
We map every personal data flow across your organization — what data you collect, where it is stored, who can access it, how long you retain it, and every third party it is shared with. The output is your Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), a mandatory Article 30 document and the foundation of your GDPR programme.
We review each processing activity and document the lawful basis that applies under Article 6. Where you rely on legitimate interests, we conduct the required balancing test. Where you rely on consent, we build compliant consent mechanisms that meet GDPR's specific validity criteria.
We assess your data practices against all applicable GDPR obligations — notice requirements, data subject rights operationalization, security measures, international transfer mechanisms, and governance structure — and produce a risk-ranked action plan.
We build GDPR-compliant privacy notices, cookie policies, data retention schedules, DPIA templates, and all governance documentation required to satisfy Articles 13–14 and demonstrate accountability under Article 5(2). Every document reflects your actual processing activities — not a generic template.
We implement end-to-end workflows for Subject Access Requests (SARs), erasure requests, portability requests, and objections — including intake procedures, identity verification, statutory response timers, fulfillment protocols, and documentation for every request handled.
We audit all third-party relationships involving personal data processing. We review, update, or execute Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with every processor and identify the correct international transfer mechanism — Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or Binding Corporate Rules — for each cross-border data flow.
We establish your Data Protection Management System — staff training, annual ROPA reviews, breach response procedures, and DPO support — and build the governance structures that sustain your programme through regulatory changes, business growth, and new processing activities.
A documented GDPR programme enables you to process EU/EEA personal data lawfully — satisfying the privacy requirements of enterprise buyers, regulators, and privacy-aligned jurisdictions worldwide.
Structured, documented data practices significantly reduce the probability of supervisory authority action. Organizations that demonstrate accountability fare materially better in regulatory investigations than those that cannot.
Transparent, rights-respecting data practices build trust in privacy-conscious markets — particularly in Europe, where data handling is a significant factor in B2B and B2C purchase decisions.
A well-built GDPR programme creates the governance infrastructure for UK GDPR, Singapore PDPA, India DPDP Act, UAE PDPL, and other global privacy frameworks — reducing duplication across jurisdictions.
A documented breach response plan with a clear 72-hour notification workflow protects you from compounding penalties when incidents occur — the response to a breach matters as much as the breach itself.
Enterprise buyers across financial services, healthcare, and government increasingly audit supplier GDPR posture as part of vendor onboarding. Documented controls satisfy these reviews and remove a common deal blocker.
The 93 Annex A controls form the operational backbone of your ISMS. Norvex Assurance helps you select, implement, and document the controls relevant to your scope through your Statement of Applicability (SoA).
Every processing activity must have a documented lawful basis — consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task, or legitimate interests. Privacy notices must be clear, accessible, and specific. Norvex Assurance documents your lawful bases and builds the notices and consent mechanisms to satisfy every transparency obligation.
GDPR gives individuals eight rights: access, rectification, erasure (right to be forgotten), restriction, portability, objection, and rights related to automated decision-making. Organizations must operationalize processes to respond within statutory timeframes. We build your complete data subject request workflow — intake, verification, fulfillment, and documentation.
Privacy must be embedded into systems and processes from the outset — not added as an afterthought. High-risk processing requires a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) before it begins. Norvex Assurance conducts DPIAs for your high-risk activities and integrates privacy-by-design principles into your product and engineering workflows.
Organizations must be able to demonstrate compliance — not just assert it. This means maintaining a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) where required, and implementing a governance structure that sustains compliance over time. We build your entire accountability framework and provide DPO-as-a-Service where needed.
Our fixed-scope engagement covers every deliverable needed to achieve and maintain your GDPR certification — no hidden extras.
"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."

"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."

"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."
