IT Governance, the leading provider of cyber risk and privacy management solutions, has released its new
GDPR Audit Service to help organisations ensure their GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance project is on track. The service is an expert-led internal audit designed to identify any remaining vulnerabilities, as well as good practices within an organisation’s GDPR measures.
Conducting audits is crucial to demonstrating compliance with the GDPR, as the Regulation requires a commitment to securely processing data, which involves consistently identifying and managing emerging privacy and security risks. However, the process can be daunting for organisations to take on independently – a thorough audit of all processes, documentation, roles and responsibilities, to name a few, takes time and demands expertise that is not easily sourced.
Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, said:
GDPR compliance is not a one-off exercise. The Regulation demands accountability, responsibility and thoroughly monitored policies and procedures, as well as taking a risk-based approach. If you are not able to demonstrate that you have taken appropriate measures to protect the data you process, the consequences could be catastrophic.
“Our GDPR Audit Service can pinpoint what your organisation is getting right and where it can improve when it comes to compliance and data protection.
