GDPR compliance template

Every company is unique. Since the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) takes a risk-based approach to data protection, each company must create, review and evaluate its own data collection and storage procedure. Legal advice may also be sought to ensure that business practices comply with the provision of the GDPR. The GDPR compliance checklist allows checking step by step if a company is GDPR compliant.
