GDPR

Privacy compliance — without the paperwork.

The GDPR requires organizations processing EU personal data to implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards. Regulyze provides data-processing inventory management, consent tracking, data-subject request workflows, breach notification logging, and evidence collection aligned to key GDPR articles and recitals.

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation is the European Union's comprehensive data-privacy law. It governs how organisations collect, process, store, and delete personal data of individuals in the EU/EEA.

GDPR applies to any organisation that processes the personal data of EU/EEA residents — regardless of where the organisation is based. Non-compliance can result in fines up to €20 million or 4 % of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.

Beyond fines, GDPR enforcement has led to public reputational damage, loss of business partnerships, and class-action lawsuits. Proactive compliance is a competitive advantage.

The 8 data-subject rights

GDPR enshrines specific rights that individuals can exercise against data controllers and processors.

  • Right to be informed
  • Right of access (DSAR)
  • Right to rectification
  • Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten')
  • Right to restrict processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to object
  • Rights related to automated decision-making & profiling

Who needs GDPR compliance?

  • Any company that processes personal data of EU/EEA residents
  • SaaS providers with European customers or users
  • Companies that use sub-processors handling EU personal data
  • Organisations targeted by data-transfer rules (SCCs, adequacy decisions)
  • Teams that want to meet the growing global expectation for privacy-first practices

Operational challenges of GDPR

Compliance is an ongoing operational commitment — not a one-time checklist.

Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs)

You have 30 days to respond. Without tooling, locating all personal data across systems and generating a response is a manual ordeal.

Data retention & deletion

Keeping data longer than necessary violates GDPR. You need retention schedules, automated deletion workflows, and proof they ran.

Consent management

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Tracking consent status, renewals, and withdrawals across channels is complex.

72-hour breach notification

Supervisory authorities must be notified within 72 hours of discovering a breach. Without an incident-response workflow, deadlines get missed.

How Regulyze Helps

Privacy compliance — operationalized

Data processing inventory

Maintain a live Record of Processing Activities (RoPA). Map personal data flows, assign lawful bases, and link processing activities to controls and policies.

Learn more

Privacy policy templates

Start with GDPR-aligned policy templates — privacy notices, data retention policies, DSAR procedures, breach-response plans. Version, approve, and publish in-platform.

Learn more

Automated DSAR workflows

Trigger a DSAR workflow that locates data, generates the response package, and tracks the 30-day clock — so you never miss a deadline.

Learn more

Retention schedule enforcement

Define retention periods per data category. Regulyze monitors expiry and flags data for review or deletion — with a full audit trail.

Learn more

Breach notification workflow

Pre-built incident-response templates guide your team from detection to supervisory-authority notification within the 72-hour window.

Learn more

Vendor & processor management

Track sub-processors, Data Processing Agreements, and Standard Contractual Clauses. Get alerted when a vendor's compliance status changes.

Process

Four steps to GDPR compliance

1

Audit

Map all personal data processing activities and identify gaps against GDPR requirements.

2

Plan

Build a remediation plan: assign owners, set deadlines, and prioritize high-risk items.

3

Implement

Draft policies, configure retention schedules, establish DSAR and breach-response workflows.

4

Monitor

Continuously collect evidence, test controls, and keep your RoPA and SoA up to date for supervisory audits.

From teams that trust Regulyze for GDPR

We needed GDPR compliance evidence for a European customer due-diligence request — and had it exported within an hour. That deal closed the same week.
