Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to achieve GDPR compliance?

The timeframe for achieving GDPR compliance varies based on factors like organization size, data complexity, and existing readiness. It involves activities such as data audits, policy updates, implementing safeguards, training, and ensuring data subject rights. The process typically takes several months to over a year. Ongoing efforts are essential as compliance is not a one-time task. Regular monitoring, review, and adaptation to changing regulations and best practices are necessary to maintain compliance. Working with our dedicated team experts can expedite the process.

GDPR Audit & Gap Analysis - What to expect?

Our knowledgeable data protection consultants have conducted an extensive number of GDPR Audits and Gap Assessments for our clients. The GDPR Audit / Gap Analysis would typically include:

Submission of briefing notes and initial GDPR data capture document required for GDPR interviews

GDPR interviews that establish existing processes, practices and controls in place for personal data and compare these against GDPR requirements

Production of a summary report detailing findings and recommendations along with an associated GDPR Action Plan

Recommendations presented to the senior management team upon completion

Is GDPR compliance a legal requirement?

Absolutely! GDPR compliance is a requirement for companies dealing with the personal data of individuals in the European Union or offering goods/services to EU residents. It sets out rules and obligations to safeguard privacy and ensure secure data handling.

Non-compliance can result in significant fines and legal consequences. By adhering to GDPR, companies can minimize the risk of data breaches and strengthen data security practices. It’s essential to prioritize compliance to meet legal obligations and maintain customer confidence in data protection.

Are there other standards that support GDPR?

ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management and ISO/IEC 27002 Security Controls. The Standard provides a framework for ensuring the appropriate protection and management of personal information and assists in demonstrating an ongoing commitment to compliance with privacy regulations around the world, including GDPR.

Teamwork ISO 27701 / GDPR consultants will conduct reviews of your current level of compliance, including current data protection and information security policies, procedures and practices within your organisation and examine their effectiveness.

Teamwork can then help your organisation to implement an ISO 27701 compliant privacy information management system ensuring the selection of adequate and proportionate data protection controls which support your organisation in the protection of the privacy of existing and potential customers, staff and any other applicable data subjects.
