The starting point

Compliance isn’t a feeling. It’s a measured position.

EU GDPR (Regulation 2016/679) sets out what a compliant data protection compliance program looks like. This checklist turns it into a point-by-point self-assessment, so you can show — with a score and evidence — exactly how compliant you are and what is left to close.

What you get

Exactly what’s inside

A sample of the “Detailed checklist” tab. Each row turns a requirement into an assessable point with the evidence expected.

File structure

Four tabs that work together

1

Dashboard

Overall conformity rate, number of open gaps, breakdown by status. Everything updates as you fill in the checklist.

2

Detailed checklist

One row per requirement: the point to check, the expected evidence, the owner and a status drop-down.

3

Summary

Charts generated from your entries: score by clause and status breakdown, ready to present to management.

4

Action plan

Each gap becomes a dated, assigned action, tracked to closure and ready for your audit.

Free vs complete

What the free list doesn’t give you

A free requirements list tells you what the standard asks. This checklist turns it into a working control tool.

How it works

Three steps, from where you are to done

Step 1

You assess

You evaluate every requirement and score your current compliance. The dashboard quantifies the gap.

Step 2

You plan

Each gap becomes a dated, assigned action so your program moves forward.

Step 3

You document

The documentation kit provides the ready-to-use documents to evidence compliance.

Assessment → Action plan → Documentation → Compliance

FAQ

What to know before you buy

Does this checklist replace the GDPR documentation kit?
No. The checklist diagnoses your gaps and structures your action plan. To provide the documents that close those gaps, the GDPR documentation kit takes over.
What format is the checklist delivered in?
An Excel (.xlsx) file, downloadable immediately after purchase. It works offline; you keep it and reuse it as often as you need.
Does the conformity score calculate itself?
Yes. You pick a status per requirement from a drop-down, and the dashboard and charts update automatically.
Which version is it built on?
The version in force, EU GDPR (Regulation 2016/679), shown on the cover.
How is this different from a free requirements list?
A free list just enumerates the requirements. The compliance audit checklist adds the detail per requirement, automatic scoring, the dashboard, the charts and a corrective action plan.
