Starting point

No GDPR documentation, patient data in unencrypted emails, no data protection officer despite the legal requirement.

Solution & result

Complete GDPR audit: RoPA created, DPAs with all service providers, DPO appointment, employee training, data breach reporting process.

GDPR compliance achieved in 3 weeks, data protection authority audit passed, cyber insurance secured, no fines.

The problem

GDPR violations happen every day — without companies realizing it

  • Patient data sent by unencrypted email, customer files without access control — both GDPR violations that carry the risk of fines
  • Many companies need a data protection officer and do not know it — Art. 37 GDPR applies from 20 employees with data access
  • Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours — without a process, you miss the deadline and double the fine
Our answer

Complete GDPR compliance from a single provider — demonstrable and audit-proof

  • Gap analysis identifies every violation with a risk rating — you know what is critical and what can wait
  • All GDPR documents created: RoPA, DPAs, DPIA, privacy policies, consent forms
  • External DPO takes on all mandatory duties under Art. 37 — more affordable than an in-house DPO, legally equivalent

The data protection authority showed up three months after our audit. We passed every check — thanks to the complete documentation Clouderio had prepared. Without it, things would have turned out very differently.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about GDPR Audit & Data Protection at a glance.

01Do I need a data protection officer?+

If more than 20 people in your company regularly work with personal data, a DPO is mandatory (Art. 37 GDPR). Certain types of data (health data, biometric data) also trigger the requirement regardless of headcount. We review your specific situation in a free initial consultation.

02How much does a GDPR audit cost?+

A complete GDPR audit for SMEs starts at a fixed price of €3,500 — including RoPA, gap analysis and action plan. External DPO from €150/month. Combined compliance package (audit + DPO + ongoing support) from €400/month.

03What are records of processing activities (RoPA)?+

The RoPA documents all processing activities involving personal data in your company — mandatory under Art. 30 GDPR. It covers purpose, legal basis, data categories, recipients, retention periods and safeguards. Supervisory authorities routinely request it.

04How long does a GDPR audit take?+

The review phase takes 5–10 business days. With the action plan and implementation of critical items, you are compliant within 3–4 weeks. We always prioritize by risk — high-risk violations are fixed first.

05What happens in the event of a data breach?+

Art. 33 GDPR: notification to the supervisory authority within 72 hours. Art. 34: affected individuals may also need to be informed. We set up your data breach reporting process and stand by you immediately when it happens — including communication with the authorities.

06Does the GDPR apply to small businesses too?+

Yes, the GDPR applies to every company that processes data of EU citizens — regardless of size or revenue. Fine ranges are, however, scaled by company size. For SMEs, the simple violations are especially dangerous: missing DPAs, no RoPA, unencrypted communication.
