This month sees the launch of Forti5 Technologies Data Protection (GDPR) Bureau Service, providing expert support for organisations managing their data protection obligations.

Companies outside Europe that handle personal data of EU individuals should consider a GDPR audit for compliance, avoiding penalties, and enhancing reputation.

Five key reasons to hire an external consultancy for GDPR compliance: expertise, objectivity, efficiency, risk management, and cost-effectiveness.

A GDPR audit should be considered if you are selling a company that manages the personal data of EU citizens — for compliance, risk reduction, and smooth transfer.

One of the essential requirements of GDPR is transparency. Privacy notices are essential for demonstrating how personal data is collected, processed, and stored.

A third-party GDPR audit conducted by Forti5 Technologies can provide several benefits including reducing risk, demonstrating compliance, and improving data protection.
