Data protection compliance audits
Periodic data protection audits to assess the level of regulatory compliance, identify areas for improvement and update the entity's documentary and organisational structure in line with its actual activity.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Audit scope design
We define with the client the audit scope — full or sectoral — the areas to review and evaluation criteria to maximise the value of the results based on the client's objectives.
Document review and interviews
We review privacy documentation, the RoPA, processor contracts and security policies, and interview key area leads to compare formal compliance with practical reality.
Gap and risk identification
We identify non-compliance areas, sanction risks and necessary improvements, prioritising them by severity and impact so the client can focus their resources efficiently.
Audit report and action plan
We deliver a detailed audit report with findings, risk level per area and a prioritised action plan with concrete recommendations and implementation timelines.
Who this is for
Companies wanting to rigorously and independently verify their data protection compliance level, organisations that have suffered a breach or received a complaint and need an external diagnosis, and entities preparing for a certification process or investor due diligence.
