Whether you’re preparing for your first GDPR compliance audit or need an expert GDPR compliance consultant to close the gaps in an existing privacy programme, VISTA InfoSec brings 15+ years of hands-on data protection experience to get you there — without the jargon, without the guesswork.
Our teams across the US, UK, Singapore, and India support clients through every timezone and regulatory context.
The General Data Protection Regulation — or GDPR — came into force in May 2018 and fundamentally changed how organisations collect, store, process, and transfer personal data belonging to individuals in the European Union. But here’s the part many companies still miss: it doesn’t matter where your organisation is based. If you handle EU residents’ personal data, the regulation applies to you.
We’ve seen companies in Singapore, the US, Australia, and India discover — sometimes painfully — that GDPR compliance isn’t optional just because they’re outside Europe. A GDPR compliance audit by a qualified firm helps you understand exactly where you stand before a supervisory authority does it for you.
A qualified GDPR compliance consultant doesn’t just help you tick boxes. The right consulting partner maps your entire data ecosystem, identifies real risk exposure, and builds a sustainable privacy framework that your organisation can actually operate within day-to-day.
At VISTA InfoSec, our GDPR consultants have worked with organisations across every sector — from global SaaS providers and financial institutions to healthcare groups and e-commerce platforms — helping them build privacy programmes that hold up under regulatory scrutiny.
A structured, phased approach that gives you clarity at every step — from first assessment to sustained compliance.
Define the scope of personal data processing, identify data flows, map data subjects, and understand business context before any assessment begins.
Evaluate current practices against all applicable GDPR articles. Identify compliance gaps across policies, technical controls, legal bases, and processor contracts.
Conduct the formal GDPR compliance audit, issue the findings report, and provide evidence-based attestation of your compliance posture for internal and external stakeholders.
Regulators across Europe have issued billions of euros in fines since enforcement began.
If your organisation touches EU residents’ personal data in any capacity, you likely have GDPR obligations. These are the typical profiles our GDPR compliance consultants work with.
You’re headquartered outside Europe but serve EU residents. Your website collects leads, your CRM holds EU contact data, or your app is available in the EU — GDPR applies to all of it.
You process customer data on behalf of EU controllers as a data processor. Your clients want GDPR compliance evidence before signing contracts — and rightly so.
Special category health data carries stricter obligations under GDPR. Patient records, clinical trial data, and health apps all require a dedicated compliance programme.
Your online store collects names, addresses, payment details, browsing behaviour, and marketing preferences. Every piece of that data is in scope under GDPR.
Banking, insurance, and fintech firms process highly sensitive personal data at scale. GDPR intersects with sector-specific regulation and requires careful, layered compliance management.
Your app collects user data, device identifiers, and location. GDPR’s consent and transparency requirements apply at every touchpoint — including your app stores and SDKs.
Our GDPR team holds CIPP/E, CIPM, and CIPT certifications from the IAPP. We understand the regulation in depth — the technical requirements, the legal nuances, and the practical realities of making it work inside a real business.
Our auditors provide an objective, evidence-based view of your compliance posture. We have no interest in inflating findings or downplaying risk — just an honest assessment that stands up to scrutiny from any supervisory authority.
We don't hand you a 300-page report and disappear. Our GDPR compliance consultants work alongside your legal, IT, and operational teams to ensure that every recommendation is implementable in your actual environment.
Many organisations that need GDPR compliance also face HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or sector-specific obligations. We understand how these frameworks overlap and can help you build an integrated compliance programme that avoids duplicate effort.
GDPR compliance isn't a one-time project — it's an ongoing obligation. Our retained advisory and DPO-as-a-Service options keep your programme current as regulations, data flows, and your business model evolve.
Two distinct obligations — both essential. Understanding the difference helps you know where you stand and what you need to act on.
Continuous Process
✔Implement lawful bases for all data collection and processing
✔Appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) where required
✔Maintain Records of Processing Activities (ROPA)
✔Ensure data subject rights are honoured — access, deletion, portability
✔Embed privacy-by-design into systems and products
✔Continuously review and update privacy policies and consent mechanisms
Best For: GDPR Compliance is the ongoing process of aligning your organisation’s data handling practices with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. It is a continuous obligation — not a one-time certification — and applies to any organisation that processes the personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organisation is based.
Point-in-Time Assessment
✔Gap analysis across all GDPR articles and obligations
✔Review of data processing agreements with third parties
✔Assessment of consent flows, cookie banners, and privacy notices
✔Evaluation of breach detection and 72-hour notification readiness
✔Data transfer compliance — SCCs, adequacy decisions, BCRs
✔Prioritised remediation roadmap with risk-rated findings
Best For: A GDPR Audit is a structured, point-in-time assessment that evaluates how well your organisation’s data practices align with GDPR requirements. It identifies gaps in policies, consent mechanisms, data subject rights processes, vendor agreements, and breach notification procedures — giving you a clear, evidence-based picture before a regulator does.
Speak with one of our GDPR compliance consultants today. We’ll assess your current situation, explain your obligations clearly, and outline a practical path to compliance — no obligation, no sales pressure.
Questions we hear most often from organisations starting their GDPR journey.
Yes — if your organisation offers goods or services to EU residents, or monitors their behaviour (including through website analytics or cookies), GDPR applies regardless of where you are headquartered. This is one of the most common misunderstandings we encounter. Companies in Singapore, the US, Australia, and India are all subject to GDPR if they handle EU personal data. A GDPR compliance audit will clarify your specific obligations based on how you interact with EU data subjects.
A gap assessment is typically an internal-facing exercise that compares your current state against what GDPR requires and identifies remediation priorities. A formal GDPR compliance audit is a more rigorous, independent examination of your compliance posture — reviewing evidence, testing controls, and producing a findings report that can be used to demonstrate compliance to stakeholders, clients, or regulators. Most organisations begin with a gap assessment, remediate, and then commission an audit. Our GDPR compliance consultants can guide you through both stages.
The timeline depends on the size of your organisation, the complexity of your data processing activities, and the maturity of your existing privacy programme. For a mid-sized organisation with a well-defined scope, a GDPR compliance audit typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to final report. A full consulting programme that includes gap assessment, remediation, and audit typically runs over 3 to 6 months. We offer fast-track options for organisations with pressing timelines.
Not every organisation is required to appoint a DPO, but many are. Under GDPR, a DPO is mandatory if you're a public authority, if your core activities require large-scale, systematic monitoring of individuals, or if you process special category data on a large scale. Even organisations that aren't strictly required to appoint a DPO often benefit from having one. Our DPO-as-a-Service provides qualified, independent oversight without the cost of a full-time internal hire.
Under GDPR, if a personal data breach is likely to result in risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, you must notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. If the breach is likely to result in high risk to individuals, you must also notify the affected data subjects without undue delay. Having an incident response plan, a breach register, and clear escalation procedures in place before a breach occurs is essential — this is something our GDPR compliance consultants will put in place as part of any engagement.
Absolutely. We have a dedicated practice serving organisations in Singapore that need to comply with GDPR because of their EU operations or customer base. Singapore businesses also face obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and there is meaningful overlap between the two frameworks. Our GDPR compliance consultants in Singapore understand both regulatory environments and can help you build a programme that satisfies both — without doubling the work.
