Running a GDPR Assessment

How to start and complete a GDPR compliance assessment with Privacta.

What the GDPR Assessment is

The GDPR Assessment is a guided questionnaire that evaluates your organization’s level of compliance against the main GDPR requirements. At the end you get a score per area and a clear picture of the priorities to act on.

Starting a new assessment

From the Assessment section click New Assessment. Privacta guides you through the thematic areas:

  • Legal bases and lawfulness of processing
  • Technical and organizational security measures
  • Data subject rights
  • International data transfers
  • Governance and roles (DPO, controllers)

For each area you answer multiple-choice questions. You can save and resume the assessment at any time.

Interpreting the score

At the end Privacta calculates a percentage score for each area and an overall score:

  • 80–100% — Compliant area
  • 50–79% — Partially compliant, action recommended
  • 0–49% — Non-compliant, priority action

Assessment results automatically feed the Gap Analysis: Privacta generates the list of detected gaps without you having to enter them manually.
