GDPR Compliance
GDPR compliance is not just about preparing documents. It is about building an operation that manages end-to-end how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and shared. Pier Compliance turns GDPR compliance into an auditable system, from data inventory to contracts, from technical-organizational measures to breach management.

Critical topics in GDPR compliance (core structure)
1) Data mapping and RoPA (Records of Processing)
• Personal data categories, purposes, retention periods, recipient groups
• Data flows (web, CRM, HR, supplier, customer support)
2) Legal basis and transparency
• Processing conditions: contract, legitimate interest, legal obligation, explicit consent (when required)
• Privacy notices, cookie policy, preference management
• "Minimum data" and "purpose limitation" approach
3) Data subject rights (DSAR) and operations
• Workflow for access, rectification, erasure, objection, portability requests
• SLA, record keeping, identity verification and response templates
4) DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) and risk management
• DPIA methodology for high-risk processing
• Risk mitigation plan and management approval
• Integrated approach with third-party risks (processor/vendor)
5) Technical and organizational measures (TOMs)
• Access control, authorization, logging, encryption, backup
• Data minimization, retention/deletion policies
• Employee awareness and role-based training
6) Contracts and third-party management
• Processor contracts: DPA (data processing agreement)
• Data transfers outside EU: SCC and data transfer risk assessment logic
• Supplier audits, sub-processor control
7) Data breach management
• Incident response plan, internal notification flow, record system
