Efficient GDPR compliance for clients and processors combined on one platform
Challenges with GDPR compliance in order processing
On the other hand, processors are faced with the challenge of answering and processing individual questionnaires on TOMs for each customer in order to demonstrate compliance with Art. 32 GDPR – a time-consuming and repetitive process. The more customers are served, the higher the annual number of questionnaires received, which ties up considerable internal resources. This effort impairs efficiency and leads to frustration on both sides.
According to Art. 28 Para. 1, the GDPR obliges clients to ensure that all processors and their subcontractors comply with the applicable data protection regulations. This requires extensive checks of technical and organizational measures (TOMs). The manual process behind this is time-consuming, error-prone and often leads to a lack of transparency regarding the status of processors. In addition, there is often no overview of subcontractors, which increases the risk of legal violations.
Why processor compliance
Processor Compliance offers a central platform that fundamentally changes the entire verification process for clients and processors. This creates a win-win situation for both sides:
Clients receive complete transparency and security about their processors and their subcontractors
Processors benefit from a significant reduction in their administrative workload.
This makes GDPR compliance efficient, transparent and sustainable.
How it works
Clients register on our platform and receive a unique company ID. They then invite their processors to also register and complete the standardised questionnaire once for each service offered. Once this has been completed, independent auditors check and validate the answers and other uploaded documents, such as certificates, before the processors themselves decide which customers are authorised to access them. To ensure up-to-date data, each questionnaire is updated on an annual basis, whereby information already stored is transferred. You can find a detailed description of this process in our FAQs
