What is a GDPR Service?

In this blog, Clive Mackintosh, Founder of GDPR Rep, experts in GDPR Representative services looks into the different types of GDPR related services and what they cover.

A GDPR service is a service that helps businesses comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) regulation that sets out strict rules for the collection, processing, and storage of personal data.

GDPR services can provide cover a variety of areas including:

• Data privacy assessments:
  ‍These assessments help businesses identify and assess the risks to personal data within their organisation.
• Data protection impact assessments (DPIA):
  ‍These assessments are required for certain types of processing activities that pose a high risk to individuals' privacy.
• Consent management:
  ‍These services help businesses obtain and manage consent from individuals for the processing of their personal data.
• Data breach notification:
  ‍These services help businesses comply with the GDPR's requirements for notifying individuals and authorities of data breaches.
• Data subject access requests (DSARs):
  ‍These services help businesses respond to DSARs from individuals, which are requests for access to their personal data.
• Data transfer:
  ‍These services help businesses transfer personal data to third parties outside of the EU in a compliant manner.
• Data security:
  These services help businesses protect personal data from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

GDPR services can be provided by a variety of organisations, including law firms, consulting firms, and technology companies. The specific services that a GDPR service provides will vary depending on the needs of the business.
