GDPR Compliance Services
Protect Personal Data, Build Trust Across Europe
In an era where data is the new currency, protecting personal information has become both a legal imperative and a competitive advantage. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) represents the world's most comprehensive data protection and privacy law, setting the global standard for how organizations must handle personal data of EU residents. With penalties reaching up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is greater), and enforcement authorities conducting thousands of investigations annually, GDPR compliance is essential for any organization processing personal data of individuals in the European Union. At Glocert International, we provide expert GDPR compliance services to organizations worldwide. Whether you're just beginning your GDPR journey or enhancing existing privacy programs, our experienced team guides you through gap assessments, data mapping, privacy readiness evaluations, customized workshops, assessment and attestation services, and ongoing advisory support. Partner with Glocert International to achieve GDPR compliance, enhance your privacy posture, provide confidence to customers that you protect their private information, and limit exposure to costly EU enforcement penalties.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive privacy and data protection law adopted by the European Union that took effect on May 25, 2018. GDPR replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and establishes a single, harmonized data protection framework across all 27 EU member states, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway (the European Economic Area).
GDPR fundamentally changes how organizations must approach data protection, granting individuals unprecedented control over their personal data and imposing strict obligations on organizations that collect, process, store, or transfer that data. The regulation applies to all organizations—regardless of location—that offer goods or services to EU residents or monitor their behavior.
Key Objectives of GDPR
GDPR aims to achieve several critical objectives:
- Harmonization: Create consistent data protection rules across the European Union
- Individual Rights: Strengthen and expand the rights of individuals over their personal data
- Accountability: Require organizations to demonstrate compliance through documentation and governance
- Data Minimization: Encourage collection of only necessary personal data for specified purposes
- Transparency: Mandate clear communication about data processing activities
- Security: Require appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data
Who Must Comply with GDPR?
GDPR has broad extraterritorial reach, applying to:
- EU-Based Organizations: Any organization established in the EU, regardless of where data processing occurs
- Organizations Offering Goods/Services to EU Residents: Companies outside the EU that offer products or services (free or paid) to people in the EU
- Organizations Monitoring EU Residents: Companies tracking online behavior of individuals in the EU (e.g., behavioral advertising, profiling)
- Data Processors: Organizations processing personal data on behalf of controllers, regardless of location
Notably, GDPR applies even if you don't have any physical presence in the EU. If your website serves EU customers, your mobile app is downloaded by EU residents, or your marketing targets EU audiences, you likely must comply with GDPR.
What is Personal Data Under GDPR?
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). This includes:
- Direct Identifiers: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, identification numbers
- Online Identifiers: IP addresses, cookie identifiers, device IDs, social media handles
- Location Data: GPS coordinates, mobile location tracking
- Financial Data: Bank account numbers, credit card information, financial transaction history
- Demographic Data: Age, gender, marital status, nationality
- Professional Data: Employment information, salary, job title
GDPR also creates a category of special categories of personal data (previously "sensitive data") requiring additional protections:
- Racial or ethnic origin
- Political opinions
- Religious or philosophical beliefs
- Trade union membership
- Genetic data
- Biometric data for identification purposes
- Health data
- Sex life or sexual orientation
Why GDPR Compliance Matters
GDPR compliance is essential for organizations operating in the global digital economy:
1. Avoid Severe Financial Penalties
GDPR establishes a two-tier penalty structure with unprecedented enforcement power:
- Upper Tier Fines: Up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is greater) for violations of core principles, data subject rights, or international data transfers
- Lower Tier Fines: Up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover for violations of controller/processor obligations, certification requirements, or monitoring body requirements
- Enforcement Reality: Supervisory authorities have issued billions of euros in fines since 2018, including €1.2 billion to Meta Ireland, €746 million to Amazon, €405 million to Instagram, and hundreds of millions to Google
Beyond regulatory fines, non-compliance can result in civil lawsuits from affected individuals, class action litigation under GDPR Article 80, orders to suspend data processing activities, and bans on data transfers outside the EU.
2. Customer Trust and Competitive Advantage
Privacy has become a key factor in consumer decision-making, particularly in Europe. GDPR compliance demonstrates respect for individual privacy rights, builds trust and confidence with customers and partners, enhances brand reputation and corporate responsibility, differentiates your organization from non-compliant competitors, and supports customer acquisition and retention. In surveys, over 80% of consumers say they won't do business with organizations that don't protect their data. Conversely, demonstrating GDPR compliance provides a clear competitive advantage.
3. Business Continuity and Market Access
GDPR compliance is increasingly a prerequisite for doing business in Europe. Enterprise customers require GDPR compliance from vendors and suppliers, procurement processes mandate privacy compliance validation, business partnerships depend on adequate data protection practices, and cloud service providers must demonstrate GDPR-compliant infrastructure. Non-compliance can result in loss of European customers, inability to expand into EU markets, termination of business partnerships, and exclusion from contract opportunities. GDPR compliance is not optional—it's essential for maintaining European market access.
4. Operational Improvements
The GDPR compliance process drives valuable operational improvements including comprehensive data inventory and mapping, documented privacy policies and procedures, improved data governance and stewardship, enhanced data security controls, privacy by design in product development, vendor risk management programs, incident response capabilities, and accountability frameworks with clear responsibilities. These improvements benefit the entire organization, not just European operations, creating a culture of privacy and responsible data handling.
5. Regulatory Compliance Alignment
GDPR has influenced privacy laws worldwide, with many jurisdictions adopting similar frameworks. Achieving GDPR compliance helps satisfy requirements in Brazil (LGPD), California (CCPA/CPRA), Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and dozens of other jurisdictions with GDPR-inspired laws. Organizations with robust GDPR compliance programs are well-positioned to meet emerging global privacy requirements efficiently through leverage of existing controls, documented processes, and privacy governance structures.

The Seven Principles of GDPR
GDPR establishes seven fundamental principles that govern all personal data processing:
1. Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency
Personal data must be processed lawfully (with valid legal basis), fairly (not in ways that are unduly detrimental, unexpected, or misleading), and transparently (individuals must be informed about processing).
2. Purpose Limitation
Personal data must be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. Organizations cannot collect data "just in case" it might be useful later.
3. Data Minimization
Personal data must be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. Organizations should collect only the minimum data needed to achieve their stated purpose.
4. Accuracy
Personal data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Inaccurate personal data must be erased or rectified without delay. Organizations must implement procedures to maintain data accuracy.
5. Storage Limitation
Personal data must be kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than necessary for the stated purposes. Organizations must establish and enforce data retention policies and deletion procedures.
6. Integrity and Confidentiality (Security)
Personal data must be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage. Organizations must implement technical and organizational security measures.
7. Accountability
The controller (organization determining purposes and means of processing) is responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with all GDPR principles. This requires documentation, governance structures, and evidence of compliance measures.
Data Subject Rights Under GDPR
GDPR grants individuals (data subjects) comprehensive rights over their personal data:
Right to Be Informed
Individuals have the right to be informed about the collection and use of their personal data through clear and transparent privacy notices and policies explaining what data is collected, why, how long it's kept, who it's shared with, and the individual's rights.
Right of Access
Individuals have the right to access their personal data and obtain confirmation of whether their data is being processed, access to the data, and information about the processing (purposes, categories, recipients, retention periods, etc.). Organizations must provide copies of data free of charge within one month.
Right to Rectification
Individuals have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected or completed if incomplete. Organizations must respond to rectification requests within one month and notify any third parties with whom the data was shared.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)
Individuals have the right to request deletion of their personal data in certain circumstances (data no longer necessary, consent withdrawn, data processed unlawfully, legal obligation to erase, etc.). Organizations must comply unless legal grounds exist to retain the data.
Right to Restrict Processing
Individuals have the right to request restriction of processing in certain situations (accuracy contested, processing unlawful but deletion not requested, data needed for legal claims, objection pending). Data can be stored but not further processed without consent.
Right to Data Portability
Individuals have the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller. This facilitates switching between service providers.
Right to Object
Individuals have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, direct marketing (including profiling), and processing for research/statistical purposes. Organizations must stop processing unless compelling legitimate grounds override individual interests.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Individuals have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produce legal or similarly significant effects, unless necessary for contract, authorized by law, or based on explicit consent. Individuals must be informed and can request human intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers to common questions about GDPR compliance:
Yes, GDPR has extraterritorial reach. It applies to any organization, regardless of location, that: (1) Offers goods or services (free or paid) to people in the EU, or (2) Monitors the behavior of people in the EU (e.g., tracking, profiling, behavioral advertising). If your website serves EU customers, your mobile app is downloaded by EU residents, or your marketing targets EU audiences, GDPR likely applies to you. The regulation applies based on the location of the data subjects (individuals), not the location of your organization. This means companies in the US, Asia, Africa, and elsewhere must comply with GDPR if they process personal data of EU residents. Non-compliance can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, regardless of where your organization is headquartered.
A data controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Controllers decide why and how personal data is processed. Examples include companies collecting customer data for their own business purposes. A data processor processes personal data on behalf of the controller based on the controller's instructions. Processors act as service providers. Examples include cloud hosting providers, payroll service providers, and marketing platforms processing data for client companies. The distinction is critical because GDPR imposes different obligations on controllers and processors. Controllers have primary responsibility for compliance including establishing legal basis, providing privacy notices, enabling data subject rights, and conducting DPIAs. Processors must maintain security, maintain processing records, assist controllers with compliance, and only process data per controller instructions. Organizations often act as both controller (for their own data) and processor (for client data).
GDPR establishes a two-tier administrative fine structure: Upper Tier: Up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is greater) for violations of core requirements including data processing principles, data subject rights, international data transfer rules, processing without valid legal basis, and non-compliance with supervisory authority orders. Lower Tier: Up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover for violations of controller/processor obligations, certification requirements, and monitoring body requirements. Supervisory authorities consider several factors when determining fines including nature and severity of violation, intentionality, mitigation actions taken, degree of responsibility, prior violations, cooperation with authority, affected data categories (especially special category data), and how the authority learned of the violation. Beyond fines, organizations face civil lawsuits from affected individuals, regulatory orders to suspend processing, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Since 2018, authorities have issued billions in fines, with penalties reaching hundreds of millions for major violations.
Organizations must respond to data subject requests without undue delay and within one month of receipt. If requests are complex or numerous, you can extend the response period by two additional months (three months total). However, you must inform the individual of the extension and reasons within the initial one month period. Responses must be provided free of charge in most cases (you can charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests). The response must provide the requested information or explain why the request cannot be fulfilled. For access requests, you should provide the data in electronic format if requested electronically. For erasure requests, you must delete the data from your systems and instruct processors to delete as well. Failure to respond timely or completely can result in complaints to supervisory authorities and enforcement action.
While both are comprehensive privacy laws, GDPR and CCPA differ significantly: Scope: GDPR applies to processing of EU residents' data globally; CCPA applies to California residents' data for qualifying businesses. Legal Basis: GDPR requires valid legal basis for processing; CCPA provides opt-out rights but doesn't require affirmative legal basis. Consent: GDPR has strict consent requirements; CCPA focuses on opt-out rights (except for minors). Data Subject Rights: GDPR provides right to erasure, rectification, restriction, portability, object, and automated decision-making; CCPA provides right to know, delete, opt-out of sale/sharing, and correction (under CPRA). Penalties: GDPR fines up to €20M or 4% of turnover; CCPA civil penalties $2,500-$7,500 per violation plus private right of action for breaches. Enforcement: GDPR enforced by supervisory authorities; CCPA enforced by California Attorney General and CPPA. DPO Requirement: GDPR requires DPO in certain circumstances; CCPA has no DPO requirement. Organizations operating globally often need to comply with both regulations.
GDPR requires organizations to appoint a DPO if: (1) The organization is a public authority (except courts acting in judicial capacity), (2) The organization's core activities consist of processing operations requiring regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale, or (3) The organization's core activities consist of large-scale processing of special categories of data or criminal convictions data. Key considerations: "Core activities" means primary business operations, not ancillary functions. "Large scale" considers number of data subjects, volume of data, duration of processing, and geographic extent (no specific numerical threshold defined). "Regular and systematic monitoring" includes tracking, profiling, and behavioral analysis. The DPO can be an employee or external service provider, must be appointed based on professional qualities and data protection expertise, must report to highest management level, must not have conflicts of interest with other roles, and must be provided with resources to perform duties. Even if not required, appointing a DPO is considered best practice and demonstrates commitment to privacy compliance. Glocert International can provide DPO advisory services.
GDPR restricts transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) unless adequate safeguards are in place. Transfer mechanisms include: Adequacy Decisions: Transfer to countries recognized by EU Commission as providing adequate protection (UK, Switzerland, Japan, Canada for commercial orgs, Israel, New Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, South Korea, Andorra, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man). No additional safeguards needed. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Use EU-approved contractual terms between sender and recipient (updated June 2021). Most common mechanism for US transfers. Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs): Internal privacy rules approved by supervisory authorities for multinational corporate groups. Certifications: Approved certification mechanisms with binding commitments (limited availability). Derogations: Specific situations allowing transfers without safeguards (explicit consent, contract necessity, vital interests, public interest, legal claims, compelling legitimate interests for non-repetitive transfers affecting limited data subjects). Following the Schrems II decision invalidating Privacy Shield, SCCs require supplementary measures assessment for transfers to countries with invasive government surveillance (especially US). Organizations must evaluate if SCCs provide effective protection given destination country laws.
Data mapping is the process of identifying and documenting all personal data your organization processes, including what data you collect, where it comes from, where it's stored, how it flows through systems, who accesses it, what it's used for, who it's shared with (internally and externally), how long it's retained, and how it's deleted. Data mapping is critical for GDPR compliance because you cannot comply with GDPR obligations unless you know what personal data you have and where it resides. Data mapping enables you to respond to data subject access requests, fulfill erasure and restriction requests, maintain required records of processing activities, conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), identify and document legal basis for processing, implement appropriate security measures for sensitive data, manage third-party processor relationships, detect and respond to data breaches, and demonstrate accountability to supervisory authorities. Data mapping should be documented in Records of Processing Activities (Article 30 requirement) showing systematic overview of processing operations. Glocert International provides comprehensive data mapping services creating detailed documentation of personal data flows meeting GDPR Article 30 requirements.
GDPR requires specific actions following personal data breaches: Immediate Actions: Contain the breach and assess its scope and impact. Determine what data was affected, how many individuals, and potential consequences. Document the breach including facts, effects, and remedial actions (required even if no notification needed). Supervisory Authority Notification: Notify your lead supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach (unless the breach is unlikely to result in risk to individuals' rights and freedoms). Include nature of breach, categories and approximate number of affected data subjects and records, contact details of DPO or contact point, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to address breach and mitigate effects. If notification not made within 72 hours, provide reasons for delay. Individual Notification: Notify affected individuals without undue delay if the breach is likely to result in high risk to their rights and freedoms. Notification must describe breach in clear and plain language, provide contact point, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to address breach. Exceptions: effective security applied (e.g., encryption), subsequent measures eliminate high risk, or notification would involve disproportionate effort (public communication can substitute). Ongoing Obligations: Maintain records of all breaches regardless of notification requirement. Assess if changes to processing activities, security measures, or policies are needed. Failure to notify breaches can result in fines up to €10 million or 2% of turnover. Glocert can help develop incident response plans and breach notification procedures.
