A data protection audit provides you with assurance of your compliance efforts to date, taking into account GDPR and national laws
Generally, organisations are taking a risk based approach to GDPR. As such they may not be fully compliant with all aspects of GDPR from May 2018. Becoming compliant will continue to be a requirement for organisations. Guidance from the European Data Protection Board, will refine our understanding of what is compliant and drive operational changes.
We do not yet know how the regulation will be applied and interpreted by either regulators or the courts across Europe. Based on the application of the law it will be necessary to update policies and procedures of organisations.
Assessing and testing compliance is an ongoing requirement of the GDPR and especially relevant as the regulatory interpretation unfolds
In the event that the worst does occur, stopping the breach, identifying the impacted data subjects, assessing the impact and required response is critical.

In the medium term, technology enablement will be required to reduce the cost of compliance. We support organisations in identifying, procuring and implementing these technology solutions.
Training staff is critical to compliance. We have a suite of training material focused for specific audiences and updated to reflect how the GDPR is being interpreted across Europe. Our experienced consultants will support the delivery of the training or customisation for delivery through a learning management system.
May 25th 2018 is day 1 for GDPR compliance. Ensuring ongoing compliance will demand an appropriate and effective control model. Mazars can support the delivery of the necessary model.

At the beginning of 2022, the full impact of GDPR is becoming more apparent. The implications of regulatory decisions indicate the bar is rising when it comes to assessing what compliance means.
