GDPR Compliance — Certifyi | Audit-Ready in 8–12 Weeks
EU General Data Protection Regulation

GDPR compliance without the legal-team runaround

Certifyi maps your data flows, runs your DPIAs, and tracks every DPA in one system of record, reaching audit-ready status for European customers and regulators in 8-12 weeks.

Why GDPR sneaks up on startups

It's a legal regulation, not just a security checklist

GDPR asks questions security frameworks don't — and the answers need to be documented, not assumed.

01

It applies even if you're not in the EU

Any company processing personal data of EU residents is in scope — most startups with European users qualify without realizing it.

02

Fines reach €20M or 4% of revenue

The most serious violations carry fines of €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.

03

Security controls alone aren't enough

Consent management, data subject rights, and retention limits require legal and process work that SOC 2 or ISO 27001 don't cover.

04

DPAs get lost across dozens of vendors

Every sub-processor touching EU personal data needs a signed Data Processing Agreement — tracked manually, this falls apart fast.

How Certifyi is different

GDPR handled as a system, not a document

Data mapping, DPIAs, and DPA tracking built into the same platform as your security controls.

Data mapping & ROPA

A live Record of Processing Activities that reflects where personal data actually flows through your systems today.

DPIA support built in

Guided Data Protection Impact Assessments for higher-risk processing activities, without starting from a blank template.

DPA tracking, centralized

One view of every sub-processor's Data Processing Agreement status — no more chasing signatures across email threads.

Mapped alongside SOC 2 & ISO 27001

Security controls that satisfy GDPR's Article 32 requirements are shared with whatever other frameworks you're pursuing.

The business impact

What GDPR readiness unlocks

Real financial and commercial risk, addressed once instead of case-by-case.

€20M

Maximum GDPR fine

Or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher, for the most serious violations — a real balance-sheet risk.

Faster to a documented program

8-12 weeks to complete data mapping, DPIAs, and DPA tracking versus months of unstructured legal back-and-forth.

85%

Lower cost than traditional consultants

$8K-28K/year in software versus $150K-300K for a traditional first-year compliance engagement.

Common questions

GDPR, answered

Yes, if you process personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of where your company is headquartered. Offering products or services to EU residents, or monitoring their behavior, brings you into scope.

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are security frameworks focused on how you protect data. GDPR is a legal regulation focused on how you collect, use, and give individuals control over personal data. They're complementary — strong security controls support GDPR compliance, but GDPR also requires legal and process work security frameworks don't cover.

Fines can reach €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher, for the most serious violations. GDPR gaps also routinely surface in enterprise security questionnaires and can block European deals outright.

8-12 weeks to a complete, audit-ready GDPR compliance program — data mapping, DPIAs where required, DPA tracking, and documented data subject request processes.
