Frequently Asked Questions

What technical controls does GDPR require?

GDPR requires appropriate technical measures including encryption, pseudonymization, access controls, audit logging, data breach detection, and privacy by design. Specific requirements vary based on risk assessment and nature of processing.

Do we need a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

DPIAs are required for processing activities that pose high risk to individuals, such as large-scale processing of sensitive data, systematic monitoring, or use of new technologies. We can help determine if your activities require a DPIA.

How does GDPR technical compliance relate to NIS2?

GDPR and NIS2 have significant overlap in technical security requirements. Organizations subject to both benefit from integrated compliance programs. Our approach ensures technical controls satisfy both GDPR data protection and NIS2 cybersecurity requirements.
