Role

Kaliteq for DPOs

Structure your GDPR compliance with a diagnostic covering every domain, from the record of processing to processors.

A DPO, often alone or part-time in a smaller company, must cover a broad scope: record of processing activities, legal bases, processors, impact assessments, responding to data subject requests. Without a structuring tool, this scope quickly becomes hard to manage as a whole.

A GDPR compliance diagnostic organized by domain lets the DPO prioritize action based on each processing activity's actual risk level, rather than tackling topics in the order they arise.

The challenges specific to the DPO

The DPO must advise, monitor and train teams while remaining the point of contact with the supervisory authority, a role that requires a regularly updated overview, hard to maintain without a structuring tool.

Covering the full GDPR scope

A structured diagnostic covers the record of processing activities, legal bases, data processing agreements and the breach notification procedure, to avoid certain domains staying in a blind spot for lack of time.

Up-to-date record of processing activities
Legal basis identified for each processing activity
Data processing agreements governing vendors
DPIA carried out for high-risk processing

Documenting compliance for audits and inspections

Beyond continuous improvement, a structured diagnostic produces documentation usable in case of a regulator's inspection or a demanding client's request for guarantees on data protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can an outsourced DPO use this diagnostic?

Yes, it is especially useful for a part-time DPO who needs to quickly get a handle on compliance across several organizations.

Does the diagnostic replace a DPIA?

No, it identifies processing activities that require a DPIA, but the impact assessment itself remains a dedicated, more in-depth exercise.

How long does a complete GDPR diagnostic take?

A few hours for a first structured assessment, depending on the size of the record of processing activities to cover.

How should identified corrective actions be prioritized?

By prioritizing high-risk processing activities first, notably those involving sensitive data or a large number of data subjects.
