💡Quick Answer

Implement audit logging for all PII access events: database queries on personal data tables, API calls, admin panel actions — with immutable log storage, tamper detection, and retention according to GDPR Article 30. Fixed price €1,800–3,600.

📋Why this service exists

Article 30 and Article 5(2) (accountability principle) require organizations to demonstrate that personal data access is controlled and documented. Article 32(1)(d) requires regular testing of these controls. Without access logs, you cannot detect breaches, prove compliance, or respond to regulatory inquiries.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a 'PII access event'?
SELECT queries on tables containing personal data, API calls that return PII, admin panel views of customer records, data exports, and DSAR/erasure request processing. We work with you to define the event taxonomy.
Why immutable storage?
Regulators and forensic investigators require that logs cannot be modified or deleted after the fact. S3 Object Lock (WORM) provides this guarantee. It also protects against insider threats deleting evidence of a breach.
