GDPR Compliance & Data Protection for EU Companies

Infilux AppSec delivers GDPR (Regulation EU 2016/679) compliance for EU enterprises and any company processing personal data of EU residents — including the Article 30 Records of Processing Activities, Data Protection Impact Assessments under Article 35, DPO-as-a-service appointments under Article 37, Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers, and 72-hour breach-notification readiness under Article 33.

European Union United Kingdom Switzerland

GDPR applies to any organisation processing personal data of EU residents — including non-EU companies offering goods or services to the EU or monitoring EU resident behaviour. Maximum fines reach €20M or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. The cumulative GDPR fine total has crossed €4.5B since 2018, with Meta, Amazon, TikTok, and Instagram in the top tier.

Our GDPR engagement covers the operational programme, not just paperwork. We build your Article 30 RoPA in a versioned format that updates as your data flows change; conduct DPIAs against the EDPB's high-risk processing criteria; and design the data-subject-rights workflow (access, rectification, erasure, portability) so requests are answered within the Article 12 one-month deadline.

For non-EU companies, the most complex piece is usually international transfers. We design SCC-based transfer mechanisms with supplementary measures (encryption, pseudonymisation, jurisdictional analysis under Schrems II), audit your sub-processor chain, and prepare the Transfer Impact Assessments your EU customers' DPOs will demand.

Key controls we implement

Article 30 RoPA

Records of Processing Activities — mandatory for organisations of 250+ employees and recommended for all.

Article 35 DPIA

Data Protection Impact Assessment for high-risk processing — automated decision-making, sensitive-category data, large-scale monitoring.

Article 37 DPO appointment

Data Protection Officer — mandatory for public bodies and certain processing types. We offer DPO-as-a-service.

Article 33-34 breach response

72-hour notification to supervisory authority; communication to data subjects without undue delay.

Standard Contractual Clauses (2021/914)

International data transfers post-Schrems II — SCC implementation + Transfer Impact Assessments.

Data-subject rights workflow

Access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection — all answerable within one month.

Article 28 DPAs

Data Processing Agreements with every processor and sub-processor in your chain.

Frequently asked

We're a US SaaS with EU customers. Does GDPR apply?+
Yes — under Article 3(2)(a), GDPR applies to any non-EU company offering goods or services to EU residents, regardless of whether you have an EU establishment. Same applies to monitoring EU resident behaviour (analytics, tracking). You'll also need to appoint an EU representative under Article 27.
How is DPO-as-a-service compatible with the independence requirement?+
Article 38 requires that the DPO function be independent and report to highest management. A contracted DPO from outside the organisation can satisfy this better than an internal hire who reports to a CTO or CISO. We provide written terms-of-engagement that protect the DPO's independence and remit.
How long does GDPR readiness take?+
3-6 months for a first-time programme: RoPA build, gap analysis, DPIA cycle, policy library, training, transfer mechanisms. Annual maintenance afterwards typically 2-4 weeks of structured review.
What's the GDPR fine exposure for a 100-person SaaS in the EU?+
Maximum theoretical exposure is €20M or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Actual fines for first-time / good-faith violations of mid-sized SaaS typically range €50K-€500K under Article 83 proportionality criteria — still material, especially if combined with reputation damage.
How is GDPR different from DPDP (India), CCPA (California), and UK GDPR?+
GDPR is the global benchmark and the others derive from it. UK GDPR is functionally identical post-Brexit. DPDP (India 2023) is more permissive on transfers but stricter on consent. CCPA/CPRA is consumer-rights-only (no DPO requirement, no DPIA). A unified privacy programme can satisfy all four with one control set + jurisdiction-specific add-ons.
