The GDPR obliges clients to ensure that all processors and their subcontractors comply with data protection requirements and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures. However, manually checking these measures is time-consuming, error-prone and inefficient, as redundant processes such as individual questionnaires tie up additional resources. A central platform for compliance management reduces this effort and minimises legal risks – we will show you how to achieve this.
Processor Compliance offers a central platform that fundamentally revolutionises the entire review process for clients and processors. Using a standardised questionnaire for processors, we create a win-win situation for both sides: Clients receive complete transparency and security about all suppliers and a status overview of subcontractors, while processors benefit from a significant reduction in their administrative workload. This makes GDPR compliance efficient, transparent and sustainable.
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. Once this has been completed, independent auditors check and validate the answers and any other uploaded documents, such as certificates, before the processors themselves decide which clients are authorised to access them. To ensure up-to-date data, the questionnaire is updated annually, whereby information that has already been stored is transferred.
Processor Compliance offers both data controllers and data processors decisive advantages. Data processors benefit from time savings, increased transparency, minimised risks and cost efficiency when monitoring their data processors and their subcontractors, while data processors themselves benefit from de-bureaucratisation, centralised compliance management, cost savings and increased quality through expert feedback.
After completing the questionnaire, our experts, appointed and certified auditors, check the answers. Our special training ensures a standardised assessment. If the answers are inadequate, we request improvements. In this way, we guarantee a reliable assessment of the TOMs. data controllers benefit from standardised recording, which makes it easier to compare processors and increases supplier quality.
