Ensure compliance with GDPR and ZVOP-2 without unnecessary risks

DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR COMPANY IS REALLY GDPR COMPLIANT?

Many companies have the basic documentation in place, but that alone does not mean their processing of personal data complies with the law.

The most common challenges include:

  • incomplete records of processing activities,
  • unclear retention periods,
  • outdated agreements with data processors,
  • missing personal data protection controls and procedures,
  • insufficient oversight of personal data processing,
  • difficulty demonstrating compliance during regulatory inspections.

Mikrocop helps you establish the right processes, documentation and organizational measures so that you can also demonstrate personal data protection compliance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do we know whether our company is GDPR compliant?

GDPR compliance depends not only on having the required documentation in place, but above all on how personal data is processed in practice and which controls your company has implemented and actually applies. At Mikrocop, we first review your personal data processing activities, existing documentation, and technical and organizational measures, and identify potential risks. Based on the analysis, we prepare a clear action plan to help your company progressively align its practices with the requirements of the GDPR and ZVOP-2.

What does GDPR compliance consulting include?

Our consulting covers the entire compliance process – from reviewing personal data processing activities and conducting a gap analysis to preparing the necessary documentation, records of processing activities, and recommendations for technical and organizational measures. Where required, we also review agreements with data processors and advise you on maintaining compliance over the long term.

Does every company need to maintain records of processing activities?

Records of processing activities are a key GDPR requirement for many companies and organizations. Whether they are mandatory depends on the nature and scope of personal data processing, but maintaining such records is also advisable where they are not explicitly required. They provide a clear overview of what personal data you process, for what purposes, how long it is retained and who has access to it.

Do we need a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?

Not every company is required to appoint a Data Protection Officer. Whether this obligation applies depends on the nature of the organization's activities and the scope of its personal data processing. If you are unsure whether you need to appoint a DPO, we can assess your obligations as part of our consulting services and help you determine the most appropriate solution for your organization.

What is a gap analysis and why is it important?

A gap analysis is the first step towards achieving GDPR compliance. It compares the current situation in your company with applicable legal requirements and identifies areas that need to be addressed or improved. The result is a clear overview of the required actions, priorities and recommendations for achieving compliance efficiently, without unnecessary costs or duplicated work.

Do you also review agreements with data processors?

Yes. The GDPR requires companies to work with data processors on the basis of appropriately structured agreements. We review whether these agreements contain all legally required elements, clearly define the responsibilities of both parties and provide an appropriate level of personal data protection.

Is GDPR compliance a one-off project or an ongoing process?

GDPR compliance is not a one-off project, but an ongoing process. Organizations introduce new information systems, change business processes, enter into agreements with new partners and begin processing new categories of personal data. This is why compliance needs to be reviewed regularly, documentation kept up to date, and technical and organizational measures adapted to new requirements and risks.

Do you know if your company is really GDPR compliant?

Schedule an initial consultation. Together, we will review your current situation, identify potential risks and prepare recommendations for the next steps.

We protect personal data all the time or not at all

If we have only implemented the most critical adaptations to personal data protection systems, it is now high time to define the long-term strategy. Personal data protection is not a state we reach but a live and dynamic process that must be monitored, optimized and supervised all the time.

Personal data protection is an ongoing concern

Data protection compliance is not a project we complete and then put aside on a shelf. Quite the contrary, it is a journey that never really ends.
