GDPR audit

The GDPR audit is an essential tool to assess the degree of compliance of your company with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the LOPDGDD and other current privacy regulations. Its main objective is to identify and correct deviations or deficiencies in the handling of personal data.

Performing periodic audits offers multiple benefits that optimize the management of your business activity. If your company or professional activity involves the processing of personal data of third parties, we invite you to contact Letslaw. Our team has the necessary training and experience to meet your needs efficiently and without high costs.

What Does a Privacy Audit Include?

The central purpose of the privacy audit is to provide companies with a clear and thorough control over the personal data they handle, as well as the associated practices. This is achieved through several key steps:

1. Data Security Assessment: we conduct a comprehensive analysis of your company’s personal data security status. We identify vulnerabilities and propose measures to mitigate risks.
2. Data Processing Analysis: we study in detail how your company collects, processes and stores personal data, reviewing the legitimacy of the processing, consents and contracts with third parties.
3. Staff Awareness and Training: we ensure that your team is adequately trained in personal data handling practices, promoting constant compliance.
4. Identification of Deficiencies and Recommendations: we detect non-compliance and provide recommendations to improve your company’s level of data protection.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Undergoing an audit on a regular basis helps mitigate various risks, such as:

• Financial Penalties: fines imposed by the authorities can reach up to €20,000,000 or a percentage of global turnover, ranging from 2% to 4%.
• Reputational Damage: non-compliance can damage your company’s image and credibility with customers and business partners.
• Loss of Customers and Business: consumers and other businesses may choose not to do business with an organization that does not ensure adequate data protection.
