GDPR Compliance Services for US Companies

Knowing what data you have before you write the policy

Every defensible GDPR program starts with a real data inventory - what personal data you collect, why you collect it, where it lives, how long you keep it, who you share it with, and the lawful basis (Article 6, and where relevant Article 9) for each activity. The Article 30 Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) is the documented output and the first thing a supervisory authority asks for.

We build the ROPA from interviews, system scans, and vendor inventories, then maintain it as your processing landscape changes - new SaaS tools, new marketing campaigns, new product features, new vendor sub-processors. The ROPA is the spine of every downstream artifact: privacy notice, DPIA, vendor DPA, retention schedule.

• Personal data discovery (structured + unstructured)
• Article 30 ROPA authoring and maintenance
• Lawful basis mapping (Art. 6 + Art. 9)
• Retention schedule and minimization review
• Vendor / sub-processor inventory

A DSAR workflow that scales beyond a shared inbox

Data subject rights - access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection - are the most operationally demanding piece of GDPR. We design and operate a DSAR intake (web form + email + phone), an identity-verification step that holds up to regulator scrutiny, a search-and-collection process across structured and unstructured sources, a redaction workflow, and a defensible response template. The same workflow handles CCPA, CPRA, and other US state-privacy requests under one operating model.

SCCs, TIAs, and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework

Post-Schrems II, every transfer of EU personal data to the US (or to any non-adequate country) requires a transfer mechanism - typically the European Commission's 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) plus a documented Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) - or self-certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). We execute SCCs with every relevant vendor, document TIAs, and support DPF self-certification through the US Department of Commerce.

How different industries put this service to work

Every regulated and growth-stage business we support has a slightly different reason for engaging this service. The common thread is that the risk, downtime, or compliance cost of doing nothing is now bigger than the cost of a specialized partner.

• Healthcare and behavioral health groups protecting PHI under HIPAA and the HHS cybersecurity performance goals
• Financial services, RIAs, and CPAs meeting FTC Safeguards, SEC, and state privacy requirements
• Manufacturers and defense suppliers preparing for CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 assessments
• Law firms and professional services protecting client confidentiality and privileged data
• K-12, higher education, and public sector agencies defending student and constituent data
• Construction, real estate, and multi-site retail keeping distributed teams online and secure

What good looks like when you evaluate providers

Not every provider that lists this service on their website actually delivers it well. Use the checklist below when you shortlist partners so you can compare apples to apples and avoid the two most common traps: a low sticker price that hides scope gaps, and a polished sales cycle backed by an offshore delivery team you never meet.

If a prospective provider cannot answer these questions plainly and in writing, treat that as a signal. The right partner will welcome the scrutiny.

• Written SLAs with response and resolution targets, not just uptime
• Named senior engineers assigned to your account, not a shared queue
• US-based delivery with clear escalation paths and named leadership
• Transparent monthly reporting with metrics leadership actually cares about
• Security-first defaults: MFA, least privilege, and monitored change control
• Alignment to your compliance framework, not a generic template
• A real onboarding plan with milestones, not just a handoff email
