Why GDPR (and why now)

GDPR compliance that doesn’t block shipping

If you process EU personal data, GDPR is non-negotiable. We help you build a practical privacy program—policies + processes + proof—so you can move fast and stay compliant.

GDPR: what it means for a startup

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) isn’t “a privacy policy.” It’s an operating system for how you collect, use, store, share, and delete personal data—across product, marketing, support, and vendors.

Done right, it helps you:

• Build user trust

• Avoid expensive rework later

• Pass enterprise privacy questionnaires faster

• Reduce breach impact and response chaos

And yes—regulators can impose significant fines (up to €20M or 4% of global annual turnover, depending on the case).

GDPR certification

GDPR allows voluntary certification mechanisms (Article 42) and requires accreditation rules for certification bodies (Article 43).
In practice, many startups focus first on GDPR readiness (policies, registers, DPIAs, vendor controls, DSAR workflows). If you need a formal certification route, we’ll guide you through scheme selection and third-party assessment.

The CYQtech GDPR process (built for speed)

1. Discovery + scoping
   What data you process, where it lives, who touches it, and which vendors are involved.

2. Data mapping + Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)
   We build the data inventory and RoPA so you can answer audits and questionnaires quickly.

3. Risk & DPIAs
   We run Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) where required and turn privacy risks into actionable controls.

4. Policies, notices, and contracts
   Privacy notice, cookie policy, retention rules, incident/breach playbook, and vendor Data Processing Agreements (DPAs).

5. Operational controls
   Subject request workflows, access controls, deletion processes, training, and a lightweight governance rhythm.
