GDPR Compliance for Third-Party Risk Management

Automated processor assessments, data flow tracking, and Article 28 compliance across your vendor ecosystem.

GDPR Compliance with ComplyScore®

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires organizations to conduct thorough due diligence on data processors and sub-processors handling EU personal data. Article 28 mandates documented assessments, contractual safeguards, and ongoing monitoring of processor security measures.

ComplyScore® automates data processor risk assessments aligned to GDPR requirements, maintains continuous monitoring of processor compliance, and generates audit-ready documentation proving appropriate safeguards throughout vendor relationships.

How ComplyScore® Accelerates GDPR Compliance

Article 28(1): Processor Due Diligence

GDPR Article 28(1) requires controllers to use only processors that provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures ensuring processing meets GDPR requirements.

Automated processor assessments evaluating security measures before data processing begins
Article 32 security requirement validation across encryption, access controls, and incident response
Gap identification when processor controls fall short of GDPR technical and organizational measures
Pre-engagement due diligence documentation proving systematic processor evaluation

Article 28(4): Sub-Processor Control and Authorization

GDPR prohibits processors from engaging sub-processors without prior specific or general written authorization from the controller, requiring sub-processor visibility and control.

Automated sub-processor discovery tracking processing chains beyond direct relationships
Data flow mapping showing where EU personal data moves through sub-processor networks
Sub-processor assessments verifying equivalent Article 28 obligations apply downstream
Alert workflows when processors engage new sub-processors requiring controller authorization

Article 32: Security of Processing

GDPR Article 32 requires controllers and processors to implement appropriate security measures considering state of the art, implementation costs, and risk to data subject rights.

Continuous processor security monitoring detecting vulnerabilities and control degradation
Real-time breach and incident alerts enabling timely Article 33 notification to supervisory authorities
Security posture tracking across all processor relationships handling EU personal data
