What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) is a European privacy law that ensures that everyone in the EU has more control over their personal data. The goal? Protect people from misuse and careless use of their data, while organizations know where they stand. The rules apply to all companies and organizations that process personal data, from name and address to online behavior. Important articles in the GDPR include:

‍

• Article 5: This is about data processing principles, such as transparency and security.
• Article 6: Here you can read on what legal grounds you can process data, such as consent or a contract.
• Articles 13 and 14: They oblige you to properly inform those involved about what you do with their data.
• Article 32: This emphasizes that you must take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data.

‍

With handy tools such as a AVG checklist, a complete AVG list or a AVG Quick Scan you can check exactly whether your organization complies with these rules. This way, you can be sure that you have the most important things in order!

What exactly is an AVG scan?

With our AVG scan, you get a clear overview of how your organization is doing when it comes to privacy. We look at all the important parts of the AVG and check that everything is set up properly. Is everything legal? Do you only collect the data you really need? Are you not storing data longer than necessary? These are just a few of the aspects we check for you.

‍

The GDPR is complex, but we make sure everything remains understandable and practical. We'll help you through the process and give you concrete recommendations for improvements. This way, you know exactly what is going well and where to work to be fully compliant.

‍

The most important GDPR principles that we monitor:

‍

• Legality and transparency: Do you process data in accordance with the law and do you explain how to do this?
• Purpose of data collection: Do you only collect the data that is necessary for a specific purpose?
• Minimal data processing: Do you only use the data you really need?
• Accuracy of data: Is the information you have accurate and up to date?
• Storage restrictions: Do you comply with the rules for how long you can keep data?
• Integrity and Confidentiality: Is your data properly protected against unauthorised access?
• Accountability: Can you demonstrate that you are complying with the rules?

‍

By testing these principles, we map the privacy processes within your organization. At the end of the scan, you will receive a clear report with anomalies and specific actions to resolve them. That way, you know exactly what to work on to comply with the GDPR.

Why should you get an AVG scan?

The benefits of an AVG scan are huge. First, you get immediate insight into how well your organization is prepared for the GDPR. Is everything in order, or are there risks that could expose you to fines or data breaches? For example, should there be a Data Protection Officer (FG) to be appointed? The scan gives you an overview of vulnerabilities so you can address them before it's too late.

‍

In addition, you will receive a report in which we make recommendations for each AVG article. This makes it very clear to you what actions you need to take to become compliant. We ensure that you can work step by step to strengthen privacy protection within your organization.

Pragmatic solutions for your privacy challenges

Our approach is practical and solution-oriented. We not only look at what is wrong, but also give you concrete recommendations to address the shortcomings. For example, implementing better authentication methods or improving your monitoring of sensitive data. We make sure you not only know where the problems are, but also how to solve them.

How do we work?

1. Scan and Analyze: We look at all processes within your organization that have to do with personal data.
2. Reporting: We provide an extensive report with concrete recommendations and areas for improvement.
3. Solutions: We can help you implement the necessary improvements so that you are fully compliant.

Are you ready for a safe future?

The AVG scan is the way to find out whether your organization complies with privacy legislation. We make sure you are well prepared and that there are no surprises. With our scan, you know exactly what to do to ensure privacy and minimize risks. Take control of your privacy management and take the step towards a compliant organization.
