nFlo performs personal data protection system audits, helping organizations achieve and maintain compliance with applicable data protection regulations. In an era of increasing regulatory requirements and ever-higher fines for violations, a professional audit forms the foundation of responsible personal data management.
The first stage is usually conducting a baseline audit, which examines the scope of the currently implemented personal data protection system in connection with the implementation of guidelines described in the GDPR regulation. The baseline audit helps identify the organization’s current compliance status and determine areas requiring improvement or completion.
The purpose of the work we undertake is to verify the processes indicated by the Client for compliance with internal and external regulations regarding personal data processing. This includes analyzing procedures for collecting, storing, sharing, and deleting personal data across all IT systems and business processes within the organization.
In subsequent steps, we perform the following activities:
- Asset inventory – identification of all systems, applications, and processes that handle personal data, along with determining categories of processed data and legal bases for processing
- Risk analysis – assessment of potential threats to processed personal data, including risks to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability
- Risk management plan in the area of personal data protection – development of specific mitigation actions for identified risks, along with implementation timeline and responsibility assignment
- Security policy – review and update of system documentation, including information security policy, incident response procedures, and employee instructions
- Agreements and registers – verification of data processing agreements with external entities and completeness of required processing activity records
Upon audit completion, the organization receives a detailed report containing a description of identified non-conformities, risk assessment, and recommendations for corrective actions. The report serves as a basis for planning further activities to improve the personal data protection system and can be used as evidence of due diligence in case of supervisory authority inspection.
