GDPR Compliance Audit
GDPR audits, DPIAs, EU representative and DPO services for India + UAE businesses.
End-to-end GDPR readiness — Article 30 RoPA, Article 28 processor agreements, Article 32 security, Article 35 DPIAs, Article 27 EU representative service, plus DPO-as-a-Service. Designed for India + UAE businesses with EU customers, EU staff or EU monitoring.
- EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679
- UK GDPR + Data Protection Act 2018
- EU AI Act (AI overlap)
- ePrivacy Directive (cookies)
- ISO 27701 (PIMS) — synergistic certification
- DPDP Act (Indian overlap)
Compliance is leverage, not paperwork.
GDPR fines reached €4.48 billion cumulative by 2024, with several €1B+ single-entity penalties. Indian + UAE businesses targeting EU customers (or monitoring EU residents) fall under Article 3(2) extraterritorial reach. Macksofy delivers GDPR readiness alongside DPDP and ISO 27701 — a single program that satisfies both regimes.
- B2B SaaS with EU enterprise customers
- E-commerce shipping to EU + UK
- EdTech + healthtech with EU residents

The shape of a GDPR engagement.
Every number below is grounded in how Macksofy actually runs the engagement — not aspirational marketing copy.
What we actually examine.
Each pillar is a distinct workstream inside the engagement — scoped, evidenced, and signed off independently before the audit pack is assembled.
- Lawful basis & consent3 pts
- Data-subject rights3 pts
- DPO + ROPA3 pts
- Cross-border transfer3 pts
- 72-hour breach notification3 pts
- DPIA + privacy by design3 pts
Article 6 + 7 — the foundation every GDPR audit starts with.
- Lawful-basis register per processing
- Consent capture + revocation flow
- Children + special-category bases
Article 15-22 — workflows + evidence for each right.
- Access / portability / erasure SLA
- Restriction + objection workflows
- Automated-decision opt-out
Article 30 + 37-39 — the artefacts EU regulators sample first.
- DPO appointment + independence
- ROPA completeness + freshness
- Processor / sub-processor register
Post-Schrems II — SCCs, TIAs, derogations.
- Transfer-impact assessments (TIA)
- SCC 2021 + supplementary measures
- Adequacy + derogation reliance
Article 33 + 34 — the drill that defines audit confidence.
- Breach-detection + escalation flow
- Supervisory-authority notice
- Data-subject communication trigger
Article 25 + 35 — the controls EDPB enforces most aggressively.
- DPIA gating high-risk processing

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”

“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
