This platform simplifies GDPR compliance for data processing agreements by streamlining the auditing of technical and organizational measures (TOMs). It offers a centralized solution for controllers to verify processors and subcontractors efficiently, reducing administrative overhead and liability risks for both parties. Processors complete a standardized questionnaire once, which is then validated by independent auditors for use with multiple clients.

Problem
Data controllers must verify that all data processors and their sub‑processors implement adequate technical and organisational measures (TOMs) under GDPR Article 28. The verification process is manual, time‑consuming, error‑prone, and provides limited visibility across the supply chain, increasing liability risk. Processors also face duplicated effort when responding to multiple controller requests.
Solution
Processor Compliance offers a web‑based platform that centralises GDPR compliance for data processing agreements. Controllers register, invite their processors, and receive a unique company ID. Processors complete a single, standardized TOM questionnaire that can be reused for all controllers. Independent, certified auditors review and validate the responses, ensuring consistent, high‑quality assessments. Validated data are stored on a secure, double‑opt‑in infrastructure and made accessible to authorized controllers via a role‑based dashboard. The platform automatically prompts annual questionnaire updates, preserving prior answers to minimise re‑work. This workflow reduces administrative overhead, improves transparency, and lowers compliance‑related liability for both parties.
Target Audience
The primary users are GDPR‑compliant data controllers who need to assess processor compliance, and data processors (service providers) that must demonstrate their TOMs to multiple controllers.
