DATA PROTECTION

GDPR Alignment

Practical alignment with UK & EU GDPR. Move beyond “cookie banners” to robust data governance and defensible compliance.

What is it?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets the standard for how organizations collect, store, and process personal data. Since Brexit, UK organizations must comply with the UK GDPR while maintaining EU GDPR compliance if they process European citizens’ data.

The Cloudgap Approach: We focus on the “Accountability Principle” – creating the evidence (ROPA, DPIAs) that proves you are compliant, not just saying you are.

The Pathway to Compliance

1. Data Mapping (ROPA)

You cannot protect what you can't see. We map your data flows to build your Record of Processing
Activities (ROPA).

2. Gap Analysis

We review your lawful basis for processing, consent mechanisms, and data retention policies against
the regulation.

3. DPIA Implementation

We establish a process for running Data Protection Impact
Assessments (DPIAs) on
high-risk projects.

4. DPO as a Service

For ongoing compliance, we can act as your virtual Data Protection Officer (DPO) to handle SARs and
breach reporting.
