Initial Situation

No GDPR documentation, patient data sent via unencrypted email, no Data Protection Officer despite legal obligation.

Solution & Result

Full GDPR audit: RoPA created, DPAs with all service providers, DPO appointment, employee training, breach notification process.

GDPR compliance established in 3 weeks, regulatory inspection passed, cyber insurance secured, no fines.

Das Problem

GDPR violations happen daily — without businesses even knowing

  • Patient data via unencrypted email, client files without access controls — both GDPR violations carrying fine risk
  • Many businesses need a Data Protection Officer and don't know it — Art. 37 GDPR applies from 20 employees with data access
  • Data breaches must be reported to authorities within 72 hours — those without a process miss the deadline and double the fine
Our Answer

Complete GDPR compliance from a single source — provable and regulator-proof

  • Gap analysis identifies all violations with risk ratings — you know what is critical and what can wait
  • All GDPR documents created: RoPA, DPAs, DPIA, privacy policies, consent forms
  • External DPO takes on all statutory duties under Art. 37 — more cost-effective than an in-house DPO, legally equivalent

Systematic assessment of risks to data subjects under Art. 35 GDPR — mandatory for high-risk processing activities.

Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)

Complete documentation of all personal data processing activities under Art. 30 GDPR — audit-ready for regulators.

📝

Data Processing Agreements (DPA)

Legally sound DPAs with all service providers that process personal data on your behalf.

👤

External Data Protection Officer

Fulfilling Art. 37 GDPR obligations without a full-time hire — our DPO takes on all statutory duties.

Data breach reporting within the 72-hour deadline — including the notification process, documentation, and authority communication.

Our Approach

How we work

1

Inventory

Analysis of all data processing activities, existing data protection measures, and service providers in use.

2

Gap Analysis

Identification of all GDPR violations and risk areas with severity ratings.

3

Action Plan

Prioritized roadmap to close all gaps with a timeline and assigned responsibilities.

4

Implementation & Documentation

Implementing measures, creating all required documents, and ongoing DPO support.

The data protection authority showed up three months after our audit. We passed every inspection — thanks to the complete documentation Clouderio created. Without it, things would have gone very differently.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about GDPR Audit & Data Protection at a glance.

01Do I need a Data Protection Officer?+

If more than 20 people in your organization regularly work with personal data, a DPO is mandatory (Art. 37 GDPR). Certain data types (health data, biometric data) also trigger the obligation regardless of headcount. We assess your specific situation in a free initial call.

02What does a GDPR audit cost?+

A complete GDPR audit for SMEs starts at €3,500 fixed price — including RoPA, gap analysis, and action plan. External DPO from €150/month. Combined compliance package (audit + DPO + ongoing support) from €400/month.

03What is a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA)?+

The RoPA documents all processing activities involving personal data in your organization — mandatory under Art. 30 GDPR. It includes purpose, legal basis, data categories, recipients, retention periods, and safeguards. Supervisory authorities routinely request it.

04How long does a GDPR audit take?+

The review phase takes 5–10 business days. With an action plan and resolution of critical issues, you are compliant within 3–4 weeks. We always prioritize by risk — high-risk violations are addressed first.

05What happens during a data breach?+

Art. 33 GDPR: notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours. Art. 34: affected individuals must be informed where required. We build your breach notification process and stand ready when it matters — including authority communication.

06Does GDPR apply to small businesses?+

Yes, GDPR applies to every business that processes data of EU residents — regardless of size or revenue. Fines are scaled by company size. For SMEs, the simple violations are most dangerous: missing DPAs, no RoPA, unencrypted communications.
