Identifying regulatory gaps

Identifying regulatory gaps

How Privacta automatically detects and classifies GDPR non-compliance.

How Gap Analysis works

Privacta compares your organization’s configuration with the GDPR requirements and automatically generates a list of gaps, classified by risk level:

  • High — Non-compliance that exposes you to sanctions or significant breaches
  • Medium — Partially compliant areas that require action
  • Low — Recommended but non-urgent improvements

Detection sources

Gaps are identified from multiple sources:

  • GDPR Assessment results
  • Anomalies in the Records of Processing (missing DPIAs, undocumented legal bases)
  • Missed deadlines
  • Missing or outdated documents

Reviewing the gap list

From the Gap Analysis section you’ll find the full list of open gaps, filterable by risk level, thematic area and assigned owner.

Automatically detected gaps are suggestions: you can accept them, edit them or mark them as not applicable to your organization.
