Data Protection Audit (GDPR)
The challenge
Proving Compliance
Many companies struggle to demonstrate their compliance with Data Protection Regulations to their trading partners and customers.
Prove Your Commitment
Other than achieving ISO 27701 Certification, there is currently no other official means to verify adherence to data protection regulations such as GDPR. Companies undertaking an independent data protection audit can give a level of assurance to customers, staff, and other 3rd parties that they are meeting their regulatory obligations.
Scarcity of resources
Senior security resources with a broad range of expertise are expensive and thin on the ground. ‘Chief Information Security Officer’ or, our CISO as a Service is a way to bring in high level security expertise in a cost-effective way.
The service
A GDPR audit is a review and assessment of the adequacy of controls, policies, and procedures.
The aim of the audit is to determine if appropriate controls have been implemented to ensure compliance with the specific aspects of data protection legislation and regulations including:
- Implementation of a data protection policy and supporting policy framework
- Existence of data processing agreements with third parties
- Existence of records of processing activities
- Compliance with GDPR (and potentially other regulations)
- Data protection governance and oversight function within
BH Consulting may adapt our audit process based on the requirements of the client and the drivers behind the need for the audit
This service can be carried out remotely.
Please Note: While BH Consulting work with clients in different jurisdictions and provide advice around different regulations, such as CCPA (California), PDPA (Singapore), LGPD (Brazil), or the POPI Act (South Africa), we are based in the EU and are specialists in GDPR.

Testimonials
“We engaged the services of BH Consulting in September to act as our DPO. They have expertly guided us through our GDPR journey, helping us to finalise our requirements to meet the GDPR standards. They have done this in a professional manner all the while aware of our limited time resources. Our DPO Annemarie, understands the way in which we work and has completely adapted her approach to suit our needs. I couldn’t recommend Annemarie and the team at BH consulting highly enough.”
“We found BH Consulting to be a huge help in achieving our ISO 27001 certification as they put so much structure on the process and helped us along every step of the way. Their knowledge and guidance the whole way along the journey was reassuring and really made the process seamless and easy to follow and understand. They were there to keep us accountable and ensure we were progressing at our bi-weekly meetings. We would definitely recommend BH Consulting to any organisation thinking of going for ISO 27001 certification and so quickly and cost effectively was a massive relief. The expertise BH Consulting provided to ensure we have a robust GDPR compliance framework in place was great. We would have no hesitation recommending BH Consulting to others in a similar position.”
“Make-A-Wish Ireland has been working with BH Consulting for three years and have found them to be incredibly supportive. GDPR can be extremely challenging and yet, for an organisation like ours, it is critical to be on top of everything at all times as we deal with such highly sensitive data. The support we have been given is practical, logical, and most importantly calming. They have demystified the complexities and have done repeated training with our team in order for everyone to be comfortable with all aspects. We would highly recommend any company to work with BH Consulting. A special thanks must go to Tracy Elliott who has worked with us since the start.”
“BH Consulting have been our CISO since February 2019 and we have found their expertise to be extremely beneficial. They are very accessible when we need them and are very pragmatic in the advice they give. We really like the fact that they are independent and not tied to any vendors or solutions. We have confidence that BH Consulting are there with the right expertise and advice when we need them.”
