What Is GDPR — and Does It Apply to Your Business?

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.

Key Highlights

  • Applies globally to any organization handling EU/EEA resident data — regardless of headquarters location
  • 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 operationalized — access, erasure, portability, objection, and more

Our GDPR Process

01

Personal Data Inventory & Data Mapping

Map every data flow — what personal data you collect, where it lives, who accesses it, how long you retain it, and who you share it with. The output is your Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), a mandatory GDPR document.

02

Lawful Basis Assessment

Review every processing activity and document the lawful basis that applies. Where you rely on legitimate interests, we conduct the required balancing test. Where you rely on consent, we build compliant consent mechanisms.

03

Gap Analysis & Risk Assessment

Assess your current data practices against all GDPR obligations — notice requirements, data subject rights, security measures, international transfers, and governance — and produce a prioritised remediation plan.

04

Privacy Notices & Documentation

Build GDPR-compliant privacy notices, cookie policies, data retention schedules, DPIA templates, and all internal governance documentation. Tailored to your organization — not generic templates.

05

Data Subject Rights Programme

Implement end-to-end workflows for Subject Access Requests, erasure requests, portability requests, and objections — with response timers, verification procedures, and fulfillment documentation.

06

Vendor & Processor Management

Audit all third-party relationships involving personal data. Review and update Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with every processor. Identify international data transfer mechanisms (SCCs, adequacy decisions) where needed.

07

Governance & Ongoing Compliance

Establish your Data Protection Management System — staff training, annual ROPA reviews, breach response procedures, and DPO support — to sustain compliance through regulatory changes and business growth.

Business Impact

Why Get GDPR Certified?

EU Market Access

GDPR compliance enables you to process EU data legally, unlocking the EU/EEA market and satisfying the requirements of privacy-aligned jurisdictions worldwide.

Avoid Catastrophic Fines

Structured compliance prevents the €20M+ fines and reputational destruction that have followed major GDPR enforcement actions against companies of all sizes.

Consumer & Partner Trust

Transparent, rights-respecting data practices build brand loyalty in privacy-conscious European and global markets.

Multi-Regulation Foundation

GDPR compliance creates the framework for UK GDPR, Singapore PDPA, India DPDP Act, UAE PDPL, and other global privacy regulations — reducing duplication.

Data Breach Preparedness

A documented breach response plan and 72-hour notification process protects you from regulatory penalties when incidents occur.

Competitive Differentiation

In B2B markets, documented GDPR compliance is increasingly a procurement requirement — not just a regulatory obligation.

ISO 27001:2022 Annex A Controls — What They Cover and Why They Matter

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).

Lawfulness & Transparency

Articles 5–9 & 13–14

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.

Data Subject Rights

Articles 15–22

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.

Data Protection by Design

Articles 25 & 35

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.

Accountability & Governance

Articles 24, 30 & 37–39

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.

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."
