💡Quick Answer

Technical audit of up to 15 third-party processors (SaaS, cloud, APIs) for GDPR Article 28 compliance: DPA existence, sub-processor lists, data residency, encryption standards, and breach notification SLAs. Delivered in 5–7 business days. Fixed price €720–1,100.

📋Why this service exists

Article 28 requires that every data processor (SaaS vendor, cloud provider, API) has a signed Data Processing Agreement with specific technical guarantees. Missing DPAs or inadequate technical standards from vendors expose you to regulatory liability.

Frequently asked questions

What if vendors don't respond to our questionnaire?
We flag non-responsive vendors as high risk. For major vendors (AWS, Google, etc.), we use their publicly available DPA documentation.
Can you help us create DPAs?
DPA drafting is a legal task. We identify gaps and which vendors need DPAs — your legal team or a GDPR lawyer drafts the documents. We can recommend legal partners.
