Meet GDPR Requirements with ChainSec
Use control management for GDPR requirements, supplier registry for data processors, and risk management for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). Systematic data protection work in one platform.
Control management for GDPR requirements
GDPR requires systematic security measures. Use pre-built GDPR controls or create your own for your specific processing activities. Conduct gap analyses to identify deficiencies and create actions that you follow up on.
Supplier registry for data processors
GDPR requires control over data processors. Document suppliers in the registry, link data processing agreements (DPA), send data protection assessments, and follow up that suppliers have appropriate security measures.
Risk management for DPIA
GDPR requires Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) for high-risk processing. Document processing activities, assess risks to data subjects in the risk matrix, and link protective measures to minimize risks.
With structured assessment forms, clear overview, and systematic follow-up, you can easily demonstrate to both management and supervisory authorities that you take data protection seriously.
What does GDPR entail?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU's legislation for the protection of personal data that came into force in 2018. The regulation gives individuals control over their personal data and places high demands on organizations that process this type of information.
To meet GDPR requirements, your organization needs to:
Systematic management of personal data with clear procedures and responsibility allocation.
Risk assessments and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) for personal data processing.
Control over personal data with suppliers and sub-processors.
How to use ChainSec for GDPR compliance
ChainSec provides you with the tools to meet GDPR's requirements for security measures, control over data processors, and risk-based work. Here's how you use the platform:

GDPR Article 32 requires appropriate security measures. Use pre-built GDPR controls or create your own. Conduct gap analyses to identify deficiencies, create actions, and follow up on implementation. Document your technical and organizational measures.
Supplier registry for data processors
GDPR Article 28 requires control over data processors. Gather suppliers in the registry, link data processing agreements (DPA), send data protection assessments, and follow up on security measures. Show supervisory authorities that you have control over the chain.
Risk management for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
GDPR Article 35 requires DPIA for high-risk processing. Document processing activities, assess risks to data subjects in the risk matrix, and implement measures to minimize risks. Save DPIAs structurally for audits.

You must verify that your suppliers have appropriate technical and organizational security measures in place.

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a process to identify and minimize risks with personal data processing.

- How does GDPR relate to other regulations such as ISO 27001 and NIS2?
