GDPR Gap Analysis & Compliance Roadmap
A practical review of your current data protection position, identifying where your organisation is meeting GDPR requirements and where the main gaps remain. This service gives you a clear, prioritised roadmap so you can focus on the most important compliance actions first.
Support to create, clean up, or maintain your Record of Processing Activities under Article 30 GDPR. A ROPA is the central inventory of how your organisation uses personal data – describing purposes, data types, data subjects, recipients, retention and security measures – and must be available to the Data Protection Commission on request.
Records of Processing Activities
Subject Access Requests (SARs)
Practical assistance when a personal data breach or suspected incident occurs, including initial assessment, containment, risk evaluation, notification support, and advice on next steps. This is especially useful for organisations that need calm, expert support during a time-sensitive issue.
Breach Response & Incident Support
Practical support for organisations responding to Subject Access Requests under GDPR. This service helps you recognise a valid SAR, manage timelines, identify relevant personal data, apply redactions where necessary, and prepare a lawful, clear response within the required timeframe.
Policies & Privacy Notice
Support with drafting, reviewing, and updating the core documents your organisation needs to demonstrate accountability, including privacy notices, internal data protection policies, retention schedules, and data-sharing documentation.
Flexible DPO support for organisations that need expert oversight without appointing a full-time in-house resource. This can include ongoing monitoring, advice to management, support with compliance queries, and liaison with the Data Protection Commission where required.
Outsourced Data Protection Officer Services
DPIA support for new systems, platforms, projects, or any processing that may present a high risk to individuals. This service helps identify privacy risks early, assess controls, and document the decision-making process properly.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Support for non‑EU organisations that are required to appoint an EU representative under Article 27 of the GDPR. This applies where an organisation outside the EU offers goods or services to individuals in the EU, or monitors their behaviour, and needs a legally mandated point of contact within an EU member state.
EU Data Protection Representative
GDPR Training & Awareness
Support for organisations that need to assess how the use of certain high‑risk AI systems may affect individuals and groups, as required under Article 27 of the EU AI Act. This service is particularly relevant for public bodies, private entities providing public services, and deployers of certain high‑risk AI systems that must assess risks to fundamental rights before first use.
AI Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIA)
Tailored training to help staff understand their responsibilities under GDPR and Irish data protection law, and to build everyday good practice into how they handle personal data.
GDPR Training & Awareness
EDpriv Data Protection Academy offers flexible GDPR training for teams of all sizes – live online, 100% on-demand and in‑house. Programmes are self‑paced where needed, fully customisable, and built around the specific risks and workflows in your sector, so staff get clear, industry‑specific guidance they can apply immediately.
Free Consultation
After your free consultation, if you decide we are the right fit, we’ll agree a concise statement of work, assign the right consultant, and schedule the first steps so you know exactly what will happen and when.
Pricing can be hourly or daily, a fixed fee for a defined project, or pre‑paid blocks of consultancy time that you can draw down as needed.
Every engagement is designed to be flexible: we expect priorities to shift, and we will adjust the plan with you as new risks, projects or regulatory issues arise.
