Record of Processing Activities

A Record of Processing Activities (RoPA) is a core requirement of GDPR compliance, ensuring transparency and accountability in how you collect, process, and store personal data. Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date RoPA allows you to demonstrate its commitment to data protection and provides a clear overview of your data processing operations.

Our RoPA service ensures that you meet the regulatory requirements of GDPR by helping you document all personal data processing activities. We provide a structured approach to ensure that your RoPA is comprehensive, regularly updated, and tailored to your specific needs.

What our RoPA service includes:

  • Data Mapping: We help you map out all the personal data you collect, process, and store across your organisation. This includes identifying data sources, storage locations, and the flow of data between systems.
  • Legal Basis for Processing: We ensure that each processing activity is supported by a valid legal basis under GDPR, such as consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interest.
  • Third-Party Data Sharing: We document any third-party organisations that your business shares data with, ensuring that appropriate data protection agreements are in place to safeguard personal information.
  • Regular Updates and Maintenance: RoPA is not a one-time exercise. We help ensure that your records are regularly updated to reflect any changes in your processing activities, keeping your organisation compliant over time.
  • Processing Activities Documentation: We document every processing activity, including the purpose of the processing, the categories of data subjects, and the categories of personal data processed.
  • Data Retention Schedules: We help establish clear retention periods for different types of data, ensuring that personal data is kept only for as long as necessary and securely deleted when no longer required.
  • Security Measures: We assess and document the technical and organisational measures your organisation uses to protect personal data from unauthorised access, breaches, and other security risks.
  • Risk Assessment: We assess the risks associated with each data processing activity, helping you identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure that any high-risk activities are managed and mitigated appropriately.
