GDPR Assessments
At Johanson Group, we understand the complexities of data security and compliance, offering specialized services to assist organizations in meeting regulatory requirements. Among our comprehensive suite of compliance audit services, we provide expert guidance on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a landmark legislation enacted by the European Union (EU) to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe and empower individuals with greater control over their personal data. Since its implementation in May 2018, GDPR has become a global standard for data protection, impacting organizations worldwide that handle EU residents' personal data. GDPR mandates stringent requirements for data handling, processing, and storage, emphasizing principles of transparency, accountability, and data subject rights.
GDPR Process
-
Our expert auditors conduct comprehensive GDPR audits and gap analyses to evaluate the organization's current data protection practices against GDPR requirements. Through meticulous assessment, we identify areas of non-compliance, vulnerabilities, and gaps in data handling processes. Our tailored recommendations and remediation strategies empower organizations to align with GDPR standards effectively.
-
A GDPR Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a critical tool for evaluating and mitigating privacy risks associated with data processing activities. Our experienced consultants guide organizations through the DPIA process, identifying potential risks, assessing the necessity and proportionality of data processing activities, and implementing appropriate safeguards to protect data subjects' rights.
-
Collaborating with third-party data processors entails inherent risks to data security and compliance. Our GDPR Data Processor Assessment evaluates the compliance posture of data processors, ensuring alignment with GDPR requirements and contractual obligations. Through rigorous assessment and due diligence, we help organizations mitigate risks associated with outsourcing data processing activities and safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of personal data.
Benefits of GDPR Assessments

Enhanced Data Protection: GDPR establishes robust data protection measures, fostering a culture of accountability and transparency within organizations. By implementing GDPR compliance measures, businesses can bolster their defenses against data breaches and mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access or misuse of personal data.
Global Market Access: Achieving GDPR compliance extends beyond EU borders, enabling organizations to access global markets with confidence. Compliance with GDPR standards positions businesses as trustworthy partners for international collaborations, fostering growth opportunities and competitive advantage.
