GDPR Compliance Services

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data protection law established by the European Union to regulate how organizations collect, process, and store the personal data of EU residents. It ensures transparency, accountability, and the protection of individual rights, requiring businesses to implement strict data handling policies and practices. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and reputational damage. HC Shield helps organizations align with GDPR requirements to ensure compliance and build trust with stakeholders.

GDPR alignment is crucial for organizations that handle personal data of EU residents. Compliance demonstrates your commitment to protecting data privacy and security, enhancing trust with customers and partners. It also helps avoid substantial fines for non-compliance, which can reach up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover. 

HC Shield provides expert guidance to help you achieve GDPR alignment efficiently and effectively.

The cost of GDPR alignment varies based on factors such as the size of your organization, the volume of personal data processed, and the complexity of your data processing activities. Organizations with existing data protection measures may incur lower costs. HC Shield offers customized GDPR solutions, including gap analyses and tailored implementation plans, ensuring cost-effective compliance.

he timeline for achieving GDPR alignment depends on your organization’s readiness and the complexity of your data processing activities. 

Typically, it can take 3 to 6 months to assess current practices, implement necessary changes, and achieve compliance. 

HC Shield ensures an efficient and streamlined process tailored to your specific needs.

While both GDPR and ISO 27001 focus on data protection, their objectives and scope differ:

GDPR: A legal requirement aimed at protecting personal data of EU residents, ensuring transparency and accountability in data processing.

ISO 27001: An international standard for establishing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), focusing on broader information security practices and risk management.

HC Shield provides expert services to help organizations navigate the requirements of both frameworks, ensuring compliance and enhanced security.

GDPR does not mandate formal audits; however, organizations are required to demonstrate compliance through documentation, policies, and practices. Some organizations may voluntarily undergo third-party assessments to validate their adherence. 

HC Shield offers GDPR assessments to help identify gaps, ensure compliance, and provide peace of mind.

Gap Analysis: Assess current data protection practices against GDPR requirements.

Data Mapping: Identify how personal data is collected, stored, and processed.
