Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the GDPR audit packages for your website mentioned above. While the information is not legally binding, it is recommended to consult the Data Protection Commissioner or relevant government authority to ensure factual accuracy and compliance.
What is the GDPR audit for a website?
A GDPR audit for a website is a systematic process of verifying whether a website's handling of personal data complies with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This audit includes reviewing privacy policies, security measures, website code structure, handling of third-party codes and compliance procedures to ensure that all aspects of data processing and storage comply with legal requirements. The goal is to identify and minimize risks and protect the rights of data subjects. The result helps prevent data breaches, build user trust and protect them from fines for non-compliance.
Does the GDPR apply to my website or my company?
Yes, if your website or business collects or processes personal data of EU citizens, or your customers are from the European Union, you must comply with the GDPR. The regulation applies to all organizations, regardless of their location, that process personal data of individuals in the European Union in any way.
How quickly will I receive the audit report from Globeria after purchasing the GDPR audit package mentioned above?
Once you purchase one of the GDPR audit packages listed above, our expert will start working on it the next business day. You will receive your PDF report and recommendations within 24-72 hours. Sometimes it takes longer depending on the complexity of your website, for example, for e-commerce websites or B2B marketplace portals it takes 1-2 days longer.
Why do I need a GDPR audit for my website even though our website developer has already made GDPR settings on our website?
Based on our extensive experience and expertise in the area of GDPR, we have conducted numerous audits of online websites in Germany and found that 90% of websites are not compliant. While web developers are experienced in their field, it is the Data Protection Officer (DPO) who brings specialized knowledge. A DPO stays up to date with the changes in the GDPR regulation and knows exactly what the data protection authority expects in terms of website compliance. Our GDPR website audits are conducted by these expert DPOs to ensure a thorough and informed assessment.
What are the consequences of non-compliance with GDPR regulations on my company website?
Failure to comply with GDPR regulations on your company website can have serious consequences, such as heavy fines, reputational damage, legal problems and loss of trust from your customers. Fines vary depending on the violation. For example, if the information on your website's imprint page is incorrect or incomplete, you can be fined up to 50,000 euros.
