GDPR Gap Assessment template

It's hard to believe I'm still talking to companies who are only now getting started on GDPR compliance. In fact, Cisco's 2019 Data Privacy Benchmark Study found that only 59% of the 3,206 organizations they surveyed felt they were largely compliant. Nine percent had not even started their compliance work: There are other companies who are thinking to entering the EU market and they are starting down the path of understanding what is required from a GDPR perspective. If I were starting my GDPR compliance journey, the first thing I would do is a gap assessment. There are many outstanding gap assessment tools available, including: Data Protection Self Assessment https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-self-assessment/ ISACA-CMMI GDPR Assessment (requires ISACA membership) http://www.isaca.org/knowledge-center/research/researchdeliverables/pages/isaca-cmmi-gdpr-assessment.aspx Nymity GDPR Readiness Assessment Questions https://info.nymity.com/gdpr-c
