Making your company GDPR-compliant doesn't have to be complicated. You lay the foundation in five steps: inventory your processing activities, determine the legal bases, create a processing register, arrange security and processors, and inform data subjects with a privacy statement.
Step 1: Inventory your processing activities
Map out which personal data you process, for what purpose, with whom you share it, and how long you retain it. Without this overview, you cannot properly manage the rest. This immediately forms the basis of your processing register.
Step 2: Determine the foundations
For every processing operation, you need a valid legal basis (Article 6 GDPR): performance of a contract, a legal obligation, a legitimate interest, or consent. Do not process more data than necessary.
Step 3: Create a processing register
Maintain an up-to-date register of your processing activities (Article 30 GDPR). This helps you comply with the accountability obligation: you must be able to demonstrate that you handle data with care.
Step 4: Arrange security and processors
Secure personal data with appropriate technical and organizational measures, and conclude a data processing agreement with parties that process data on your behalf (Article 28 GDPR). Also ensure that you can identify and report a data breach in a timely manner.
Step 5: Inform those involved
With a clear privacy statement, you inform data subjects which data you process, why, and what their rights are. Also ensure you have a correct cookie banner if you use tracking.
