A GDPR gap analysis is a critical evaluation tool that enables organisations to measure their compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This extensive privacy legislation mandates organisations, both within and outside the European Union (EU), to manage personal data of EU residents in a prescribed manner.
The process involves a comprehensive review of an organisation's current data protection policies, procedures, and practices. The primary objective is to pinpoint any discrepancies between the organisation's operations and GDPR requirements. Areas of focus typically include data processing, storage, access requests by data subjects, data security, and data breach reporting protocols.
At A2CO, our GDPR gap analysis comprises the following key activities:
1. Scope Definition :
We delineate the extent of the analysis, identifying specific business units, processes, and systems for examination.
2. Data Mapping :
We meticulously catalogue all personal data handled by the company, tracing its storage, usage, and accessibility.
3. Risk Assessment :
We identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to personal data, evaluate the likelihood of data breaches, and assess the potential impact.
4. Policy and Procedure Review :
We scrutinise the current data protection policies, procedures, and controls in place, evaluating their effectiveness and identifying any areas of non-compliance with GDPR.
5. Gap Analysis and Recommendations :
By juxtaposing the organisation's current data protection practices against GDPR requirements, we identify areas of noncompliance. We then provide tailored recommendations for remedial actions, enabling organisations to prioritise and address areas in need of improvement.
Engaging in a GDPR gap analysis with A2CO ensures not just compliance, but also a robust framework for protecting the privacy and rights of individuals, aligning your organisation's operations with the highest standards of data protection.
