Is Your Business Subject to GDPR?

GDPR does not only apply to companies based in Europe. Many businesses outside the EU are also required to comply if they collect, use, store, or manage personal data of EU residents. Have a look at the scenarios below to see whether GDPR may apply to your business.

Is Your Business Subject to GDPR?
  • Business operations based in the EU/EEA, or through a branch, subsidiary, office, or team located there.
  • Offering products or services to individuals in the EU/EEA, whether paid or free.
  • Tracking user behavior through cookies, analytics platforms, advertising pixels, or similar technologies.
  • Storing, accessing, or transferring EU personal data outside the EU/EEA, including through offshore teams or cloud environments.
  • Processing personal data on behalf of clients as a SaaS provider, technology vendor, consultant, or agency.
  • Handling sensitive personal data, including health, biometric, financial, or children's information.
LET'S CHECK YOUR GDPR EXPOSURE

Why Your Business Needs GDPR Compliance Services?

Privacy gaps don't usually announce themselves. They surface when a customer files a data subject request you weren't set up to handle, an investor's due diligence checklist asks for your RoPA (Record of Processing Activities), or a breach forces you to explain to a supervisory authority why a retention policy never existed. As products expand into new markets and take on more personal data, new features, new vendors, and new AI models, that exposure grows quietly in the background until something forces it into the open.

  • You're expanding into the EU or onboarding EU-based customers for the first time.
  • A customer, partner, or investor has asked for proof of GDPR compliance.
  • You process special category data. health, biometric, or similarly sensitive information.
  • You have not documented a Record of Processing Activities under Article 30.
  • A data subject has submitted an access, deletion, or complaint request, but you weren't ready to handle it.
  • You're training or running AI/LLM features on data that includes EU residents.
  • Your last privacy policy update predates half the features your product currently supports.

Our GDPR Compliance Services

GDPR affects every part of how a business handles data, from collection and storage to vendor contracts, marketing activities, and AI models. Each area carries its own requirements and potential compliance risks. At Bacancy, our GDPR compliance services cover the full picture, not just the parts that are easiest to document.

GDPR Gap Assessment & Audit

Through our GDPR compliance consulting, we map your current data handling practices against GDPR requirements and identify compliance gaps, including missing legal bases, undocumented data flows, vendors without signed DPAs, and undefined data retention periods.

Data Mapping & RoPA Creation (Article 30)

Through our data governance services, we trace how personal data moves through your systems, where it is collected, stored, accessed, and shared, and document it in the Records of Processing Activities required under Article 30.

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

For processing activities that may pose a high risk to individuals, such as AI features, large-scale profiling, or biometric systems, we conduct DPIAs required under Article 35 and recommend measures to reduce identified risks.

DPO as a Service

Our DPO as a Service offering provides experienced data protection professionals who help monitor compliance, guide DPIAs, act as a point of contact for supervisory authorities, and support the handling of data subject requests.

Article 27 EU Representative Service

If your organization processes EU personal data without an establishment in the EU, Article 27 may require a local representative. We can serve in that role and manage communications with authorities and data subjects on your behalf.

Privacy Policy & Documentation Drafting

We prepare privacy policies, data processing agreements, internal data protection policies, and breach response procedures that align with your actual data processing activities.

Consent Management & Cookie Compliance

We help configure consent management platforms and review your cookie and tracking technologies against GDPR requirements, addressing common compliance issues such as pre-selected consent options and cookies being placed before consent is obtained.

Data Subject Rights (DSAR) Management

Our professionals help establish a process for verifying requester identities, locating personal data across systems, and responding within GDPR timelines while maintaining a clear audit trail for each request.

Our GDPR Compliance Process

We follow a structured process to find the gaps, fix what's actually risky, and keep your program from drifting out of date after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Let's talk

Yes. GDPR applies to any company in the world that handles personal data of people living in the EU. It does not matter where your business is based or registered. If you serve EU customers, this rule applies to you.

It depends on your company size and how much data you handle, but most businesses take between two and six months. Small companies with simple data finish faster, while larger companies with many systems and departments usually need more time.

Cost depends on your company's size and how much data you process. Small businesses might pay a few thousand dollars total. Larger companies with complex data needs can pay much more. We offer a free call for an exact quote.

We use approved legal tools like Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to move data safely across borders. These tools add protection so your data stays secure when it travels outside the EU. We check this regularly.

You will receive a GDPR compliance report, an updated privacy policy, a data map showing how data flows through your business, signed data processing agreements with vendors, staff training materials, and a clear action plan for staying compliant going forward.
