What this involves
GDPR requires "appropriate technical and organisational measures" to protect personal data — and expects you to test and evaluate their effectiveness. We help you understand where personal data lives, review your technical measures, and provide the security testing that evidences you take data protection seriously.
Where we fit in
- Review of technical security measures protecting personal data
- Penetration testing to evidence "appropriate" security
- Input to Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
- Prioritized remediation to reduce data-breach risk
A straightforward, repeatable process.
Gap assessment
We review your current controls against the framework and show you exactly where the gaps are — no guesswork.
Remediation guidance
You get a prioritized, plain-English plan to close the gaps, with the quick wins called out first.
Required testing
We run the penetration testing and technical assessments these frameworks expect — and hand you audit-ready evidence.
Audit support
We help you prepare for the auditor and answer their technical questions, so the assessment goes smoothly.
Outcomes & deliverables
- A view of technical risk to personal data
- Testing evidence of appropriate security measures
- Practical steps to reduce breach likelihood and impact
- Documentation that supports your accountability obligations
Common questions
Does GDPR require penetration testing?
GDPR requires a process for regularly testing and evaluating the effectiveness of your security measures (Article 32). Penetration testing is a recognised way to do that, and we provide the evidence.
Are you a data protection lawyer?
No — we focus on the technical security side. For legal interpretation of GDPR you should also consult a qualified data protection advisor; we complement that with the testing evidence.
