The Importance of a GDPR Gap Analysis
For organizations without a baseline understanding of where they are with compliance legislation, it is difficult to identify areas of non-compliance and take appropriate remediative action.
Typically, a shortage of in-house expertise can prevent them from performing an in-depth gap assessment or audit. Given that such an assessment is the first step of maturing any data privacy programme and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, this is a significant obstacle.
Beyond completing an assessment, understanding how to implement any necessary remediations also significant data privacy expertise and capabilities.
