GDPR certification
Organizations can choose which data processing activities are certified. This could be a product (e.g., software as a service), a process (e.g., customer onboarding) or any other distinct process or service.
We help companies prepare for the audit and certification of a processing activity, simultaneously enhancing their compliance with national and international data protection laws and filling gaps between the Europrivacy requirements and a company’s existing internal controls.
At Mazars, we have certified EEA- and US-based GDPR certification specialists with various risk and compliance backgrounds. They have the expertise to deal with large complex organizations and processing activities.
Why should you get certified?
The GDPR is complex. Non-conformity carries important legal and financial risks, which are hidden costs until a company is fined (up to 4% of its worldwide revenue). Getting certified means that you have independent professionals closely evaluating your processes to ensure that you’re compliant.
The certificates also demonstrate a company’s commitment to protect personal data and be a trustworthy provider for customers, as well as a reliable data processor for business partners. The certificates also reduce legal and financial risks by demonstrating compliance with legislation and ensuring controls are in place, and they also can result in substantial savings.
