GDPR Audit Services for UK and EU Organisations
A GDPR audit is a structured review of how your organisation handles personal data in practice. It looks at what you are doing day to day, not what policies say should be happening.
This service is for organisations that know data protection matters but are not fully confident they have everything covered. That might be because the organisation has grown, systems have changed, responsibilities are unclear, or senior leadership has asked for reassurance.
People usually request an audit when they want clarity. They want to understand where the real risks are, what is already working, and what actually needs fixing, without being buried in legal theory or unrealistic expectations.
The audit can be tailored to your organisation’s needs. You can choose to focus on minimum legal compliance, or to have your approach benchmarked against recognised good practice, depending on your risk appetite, regulatory exposure, and governance expectations.
The level and depth of assessment are agreed upfront, so the audit is proportionate, practical, and aligned to what your organisation actually needs.
What the audit covers
Current Position
We review how personal data is actually handled across the organisation, including governance arrangements, responsibilities, and day-to-day practices. This establishes a clear picture of your current data protection position, based on reality rather than assumptions or outdated documentation.
Compliance with the law
We assess how your current position compares to data protection law, identifying where minimum legal requirements are met and where gaps or risks exist. This provides clarity on compliance status and highlights areas that may need attention to reduce regulatory or organisational risk.
Benchmarking against good practice
Where appropriate, we benchmark your approach against recognised good practice, not just legal minimums. This helps organisations with a lower risk appetite or higher governance expectations understand what “good” looks like and decide whether enhanced controls or assurance are proportionate for them.
