A GDPR assessment that shows you exactly where you stand.

The General Data Protection Regulation is the EU law that governs how organizations handle personal data belonging to people in the European Union and the wider European Economic Area. It applies by behavior, not by geography. If your product signs up users in Berlin, your marketing targets buyers in Paris, or your platform processes data on behalf of a client with European customers, GDPR reaches you even if every server and every employee sits in the United States.

A GDPR assessment answers a plain question your board and your enterprise customers keep asking: where do we actually stand? We work through the parts of the regulation that carry real risk. That means your lawful basis for each use of data, the rights you owe the people whose data you hold, the records you are required to keep, the impact assessments you may have skipped, the line between controller and processor, how data crosses borders, whether you need a data protection officer, and how fast you can react to a breach.

One boundary matters up front. This is a practical compliance assessment and a plan to fix gaps, not a legal opinion. We tell you what the regulation expects, where your program falls short, and how to close the distance. When you need a binding interpretation of a hard edge case, that formal opinion comes from privacy counsel, and we work alongside them rather than pretending to replace them.

For most companies that reach us, the answer is yes, and the surprise is how little it takes to get there. The regulation applies to you in two broad situations. The first is when you offer goods or services to people in the EU, whether or not they pay. A free tier counts. The second is when you monitor the behavior of people in the EU, which sweeps in analytics, ad tracking, and profiling far more often than teams expect.

A few concrete cases show the reach:

• US SaaS with EU users. You sell software to companies or individuals, and some of them are in Europe. Their account data, usage logs, and support tickets are all personal data under GDPR.
• Global platforms and marketplaces. You operate at scale across regions, so European personal data flows through your systems constantly, often on behalf of your own customers.
• Companies that process data for others. You never sell to Europe directly, but a client does, and you handle that data as their vendor. You are a processor, and the regulation binds you too.

If any of these fit, the practical question is no longer whether GDPR applies. It is how far your current program sits from what the regulation expects, and which gaps a regulator or a European customer would flag first.

You receive a written GDPR assessment built around your actual data, not a generic template. It opens with a data flow map showing where EU personal data lives and moves. It then walks through each pillar of the regulation — lawful basis, data subject rights, records of processing, impact assessments, controller and processor roles, international transfers, the data protection officer question, and breach response — and states plainly where you comply and where you do not.

The heart of the deliverable is the gap report. Every finding cites the part of the regulation it relates to, carries a risk rating, and comes with a concrete remediation step. High-risk gaps that a regulator or a European buyer would flag first sit at the top, so you spend your effort where it counts rather than polishing low-stakes paperwork.

Timing depends on your size and how much of your data landscape is already documented. A focused assessment for a single SaaS product often takes a few weeks from kickoff to final report. A global platform with many systems, vendors, and cross-border flows takes longer, because the data mapping alone is heavier. We give you a realistic schedule during scoping and hold to it.

Privacy compliance is not a form to fill in. It is a discipline built from controls, evidence, and honest reporting, which is exactly the work a CPA firm does every day. We approach your GDPR program the way we approach any control environment: we test what you claim, document what we find, and rank the risks by what a scrutinizing outsider would actually cite.

You also get the practical benefit of overlap. The records, access controls, vendor oversight, and breach procedures GDPR expects share a great deal with SOC 2, ISO 27701, and other frameworks. We map your privacy controls once so the evidence carries over instead of being rebuilt for each program. And we stay in our lane. We deliver assessment and remediation, and we coordinate cleanly with your privacy counsel when a question needs a formal legal opinion rather than a compliance judgment.

The result is a report you can act on. Your team gets a ranked list of fixes, your leadership gets a defensible view of where the company stands, and your European customers get evidence that you take their data seriously.
