Gdpr compliance solution is bought by a business processing personal data of people in the EU at the moments a programme is most anxious and least able to say what it needs: before a licence, before an examination, after a finding. The seller's value is judgement about what the regulator expects; the buyer's leverage is knowing the programme in numbers first, because an engagement scoped from the register is smaller, cheaper and better than one scoped from a brochure. This page walks what to bring to gdpr compliance solution, what the engagement should change, what must come back at the end, and where the free sheets on this site work the programme's own figures, with no account, so the first meeting starts from them.
A solution is a bundle, so unbundle it
Solution is the vendor's word for a bundle of software, onboarding and support priced together, and a small business buying one should ask for the three prices separately. Onboarding for a programme of 60 obligations is a day; support for two reviewers is an email address. The register sheet on this site sizes the programme so the bundle can be priced against it rather than against a template.
The searches this page answers, in the words people use
Measured in the United States, the phrasings that lead here are gdpr compliance solution (500/mo), gdpr software solution (150/mo). They are one question asked 2 ways: a business processing personal data of people in the EU wants to know what the record must hold and what it costs to keep, and the GDPR data-mapping sheet on this site works the figure that answers it. The wording differs; the register behind it does not, and neither does the arithmetic.
What to bring
The register's numbers: obligations, controls per obligation, evidence items per control, minutes per item, reviewers and their hours. The obligations register sheet on this site returns the items, the hours and the months to a full attestation. For a business processing personal data of people in the EU the record behind those numbers is the record of processing, the processor agreements, the lawful bases and the requests handled; bring it as a count, not a folder. A provider of gdpr compliance solution who can read the sheet and say which obligations are over-evidenced and which are bare has found the engagement's value in the first hour.
What the engagement should change
The count of obligations actually owed, the controls that satisfy several at once, the evidence each control needs and no more, the audit days per year, the gap rate and the hours per gap. Each is an input to a sheet on this site, so the before and after of the engagement is a pair of worked sheets rather than a slide. For GDPR the sheet to start with is the GDPR data-mapping sheet. Ask for the before and after in that form; a provider who promises maturity rather than numbers is promising a feeling.
What must come back
The register, in a form the programme keeps updating without the provider: obligations, controls, evidence templates, an audit plan the programme can run itself next year, and the attestations with who signed them. A deliverable that lives only in the provider's portal is a subscription to the provider. The guide this page supports covers scoping regulatory compliance consulting from the register in detail. Attestvio Pro keeps the register under the client's own name and exports it; the sheets stay free.
Questions people ask about gdpr compliance solution
What does gdpr compliance solution cost?
Providers quote after scoping and this site publishes no figure for them. The number that matters is the fee against the reviewer hours and audit days the engagement removes, which the free sheets on this site work from your own programme.
How do I scope gdpr compliance solution?
From the register: obligations, controls, evidence items, reviewer hours and the months to attestation, worked on the free obligations register sheet and brought to the first meeting.
Does Attestvio provide gdpr compliance solution?
No. Attestvio is software that keeps the register, evidence and attestations and works the arithmetic; it gives no view on what a regulation requires. The sheets make any provider's engagement scoped and checkable.
