Businesses across the globe are scrambling to become GDPR compliant before the May 25th deadline. But what is GDPR compliance, and how can you achieve it? This blog post will discuss everything you need to know about GDPR certification and compliance. We will also provide a step-by-step guide on how to get certified. Let’s get started!
Find A Certification Body
The first step is to find a certification body that the European Commission accredits. To do this, you must research certification bodies and compare their services. Once you have found a few potential candidates, contact them to learn more about their GDPR certification process.
Choose The Right Certification Scheme
There are two main GDPR certification schemes: the ISO 27001 standard and the EU-GDPR Code of Conduct. Both methods have different requirements, so choosing the one that is right for your business is essential. If you’re not sure which scheme to choose, we recommend talking to a GDPR consultant who can help you make the best decision for your business.
Get Certified!
Once you’ve chosen a certification scheme, it’s time to get certified! The process will vary depending on which method you’ve chosen, but in general, you’ll need to complete an application and submit it to the certification body. Once your application has been reviewed, you’ll be asked to provide additional documentation and undergo an on-site audit.
Once you’ve completed the certification process, you’ll be able to use the GDPR logo on your website and marketing materials. This will show your customers that you’re serious about data protection and that you’re compliant with the GDPR.
