GDPR Risk Defensibility Assessment

An independent view of whether your data protection risk is defensible in practice, not just on paper.

Assurance work: we form an independent opinion. We do not implement what we assure.

Delivered by: BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection

GDPR Risk Defensibility Assessment

Scope

Applied GDPR assurance that focuses on whether data protection risk is defensible in practice, not whether processes exist on paper. It gives decision makers an independent view of whether processing arrangements would stand up to regulatory or public scrutiny.

What you get

  • Review of accountability and security of processing (Article 32)
  • DPIA critique for high-risk or innovative processing
  • Consideration of public sector interpretation and scrutiny

Deliverables

A written GDPR risk defensibility opinion that sets out residual risk and what it means for your decision, kept separate from legal advice

Price

£6,000-9,500

All prices exclude VAT.

Frameworks referenced

UK GDPR Data Protection Act 2018 ICO accountability and DPIA guidance

Readiness and assurance, kept separate

Where we have built or prepared evidence for a client, we do not also sell that client an independent assurance opinion on the same work. Independence is only worth anything if it is real, so we protect it rather than blur it.
