GDPR Compliance-as-a-habit in Action

Companies and organizations that comply with data protection frameworks and regulations enjoy: 

• Legal Protection: Avoid the legal consequences and contractual defaults that result from non-compliance. 

• Financial Safeguards: Compliance irregularities can result in fines and penalties ranging into seven figures—if not more. 

• Competitive Advantage: Meet the stipulations of RFPs that require organizations to meet specific data protection standards.  

• Operational and Security Benefits: Eliminate operational silos and inconsistencies within your business while improving your data security.  

• Marketing Edge: Be seen as a responsible and trustworthy citizen of the world. Enhance your reputation and build consumer trust. 

• Avoid Bad Press: Dodge the negative publicity associated with data breaches and non-compliance. 

• GDPR impacts companies that are part of the supply chain of a global or European company, as well as contractors and subcontractors of such companies. GDPR's reach extends even further, serving as a benchmark for other compliance frameworks, such as CCPA (California's GDPR-comparable framework). 

• Braided can help you to better understand how GDPR relates to your business. Many compliance frameworks essentially mirror GDPR controls and penalties. Compliance with GDPR can also mean compliance with your particular frameworks. 

Compliance should be simple, continuous, and flexible. That’s why Braided’s Compliance-as-a-Habit (CaaH) uses a subscription-based model and best-in-class technologies to provide ongoing compliance for evolving regulations. 

Braided partners with Drata—a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform—to automate GDRP compliance and evidence collection, unify controls across frameworks, and provide you with an audit dashboard for managing compliance-related tasks. 

We view your policies and procedures as living documents. Our compliance experts will help you draft, review, and approve policy documents for GDPR, ISO 27001, CCPA, or other frameworks. 

Working with your team and technology stack to gather technical and procedural evidence for your assessment, Braided believes setting reasonable, attainable deadlines is a key factor in achieving GDPR compliance success. 

Choose live, interactive workshops tailored to your organization’s needs —or on-demand, recorded training sessions —to ensure that your staff has access to the required GDPR curriculum.  

Braided simplifies GDPR compliance with minimal interruption to your daily work. We keep meetings short and to the point, respectful of your time.  

Once in place, Braided's compliance approach and fractional compliance officers work continuously in the background, requiring no dedicated teams or extensive time commitments from you. Braided offers not only its expertise but also its personnel to fill required roles:
