GDPR Compliance

Introduction

GDPR requires organisations processing the personal data of EU citizens to protect that data and respect individual privacy rights, regardless of where the processing takes place.

What is EU GDPR?

GDPR is one of the world's most stringent data privacy regulations. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties — up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.

EU GDPR Certification Cost

We don’t publish a fixed price, because cost depends on organisation size, number of locations, scope, process complexity, audit duration, consulting requirements and certification body fees. Request a scoped estimate and we’ll walk you through each factor.

Certification Timeline

Timelines depend on organisational readiness, scope and the complexity of your processes. A well-prepared, single-site organisation typically moves faster than a multi-site or highly regulated one — we’ll give you a realistic timeline after the initial gap analysis.

GDPR vs India's DPDP Act

GDPR is the European regulation. India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act is the Indian equivalent. While they share core privacy principles like consent and data subject rights, they have distinct reporting timelines and compliance thresholds.
