Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)
Preparation, review and ongoing maintenance of the Records of Processing Activities, ensuring it accurately reflects the processing carried out by the entity and remains aligned with the evolution of its operations and regulatory obligations.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Identification of all processing activities
We conduct interviews with the organisation's departments to comprehensively identify all personal data processing activities carried out, including less obvious ones or those delegated to third parties.
Categorisation and analysis of each processing activity
For each identified processing activity, we determine the purpose, legal basis, data categories, recipients, retention periods and international transfers, with the precision the GDPR requires.
Preparing and formalising the RoPA
We prepare a complete and well-structured Record of Processing Activities in digital format that facilitates its updating and consultation by both the organisation and supervisory authorities if required.
Ongoing maintenance and review
We establish a periodic update procedure for the RoPA so it accurately reflects changes in the organisation's processing activities, ensuring it is always current ahead of a potential inspection.
Who this is for
Every organisation processing personal data is required to maintain Records of Processing Activities. This service is particularly relevant for companies starting their compliance, those that have grown or changed their business model, or those needing to update an outdated RoPA ahead of an inspection by the AEPD or another supervisory authority.
